*** For all those do-it-yourself-at-home kids......Never never never!!! wad ALL the hair up into one knot or bun on top of your head if you're using 30vol/high lift, or bleach. The process of lifting creates A LOT of heat, and that will build up inside the 'bun' causing excessive damage, and possibly even burning the scalp. If you're wondering why the hair on your crown is melting??? That's why. Split it into smaller sections so that air can circulate.
The story behind
'Novitiate Nebula'
This quilt is made out of 80 different blocks from a variety of block of the months and quilt alongs that I participated in during 2012.
These include:
Sew Sweetness, New York Beauty Quilt Along - sewsweetness.com/2012/02/new-york-beauty-quilt-along.html

Breezy Beginner's Sampler from Quilt Gallery: mishkasplayground.com/learn-to-quilt-booklets/breezy-begi...
and a few blocks of y own.
I finally put this mish mash of blocks made from my scraps together into one cohesive quilt this year. I used a fabric that already had these cool patterned circles on it and cut it for the border.
I sent it to my aunt, Barb Raisbeck of Quilts by Barb for the long arm quilting. She used a flourescent orange thred to make these amazingly intricate swirl designs on the border and to emphasize the new york beauty block. Using a gray thread she did a rounded building block type design all over the rest of the quilt. It really is the perfect quilting solution to the crazy top I sent.
Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust...

An opportunity to shamelessly mention "Flora & the Prince", the brand new oratorio I've been writing for Dundee University, and which will be premiered in Dundee on 12th March! The first performance of the complete new piece will be recorded.
Saw this at a local garden on a visit with my son. It is an HDR image, and then crossed processed on Picnik.
After taking a little break from the whole graff thing, I came back with this. It is a sneak peak of a wall I am doing with Less and Smug. Finished shots to come soon enough.
Here was my process for the Ty Nant water shot:
1. One strobe above and in front of the bottle, bounced off my umbrella. This looks terrible! The blue is hardly noticeable, the reflection totally knocks out the label, and the label on the back of the bottle (marked with the *) makes a horrible white mark.
2. One light on the right of the bottle, bounced off the umbrella. I also cut out a piece of paper the shape of the bottle to put behind it. This bounces light through the glass, showing the blue. Unfortunately, you can see all the details of the umbrella in the reflection, and that label on the back is still there. also, the flash from my camera that I use to trigger the strobe makes an annoying reflection (marked with the *). I soak off the label, and cover my flash with a piece of cloth. That way it is still bright enough to trigger the strobe, but doesn't show up on the bottle.
3. Light below and behind the bottle, bounced off the black (!) backdrop. I removed the white paper behind the bottle for this, since it was unnecessary. I used a long exposure so that the lights from the windows on the sides and in front of the bottle would light up the label. Unfortunately, this makes for ugly reflections on the sides of the bottle.
4. One light behind and below bottle, bounced off backdrop. This is beautiful -- I love black-line glass photography, and the blue is gorgeous. Unfortunately for a product shot, the label is way too dark. And I don't have another light to snoot on it from the front. Have to go a different direction.
5. Light on the right side again, this time shone directly through a large plastic tub. That disperses the light enough that it makes a nice clean long white highlight. The paper is behind the bottle again, and I dropped the coins behind the bottle. But the paper behind the bottle is wrinkled, and that shows (marked with the *) and it tapers at the top of the neck where the water stops, which you can see. I cut a new piece of paper.

ry fish processing is an ancient, cost-effective preservation method that removes moisture through sun-drying, salting, or smoking to inhibit microorganism growth and extend shelf life. The process typically involves cleaning, degutting, washing, and sometimes salting fish before laying them on racks, taking several days depending on weather and fish size.
The most common method, where fish are laid on raised bamboo racks (vertical or horizontal) in the sun.
Often combined with drying, this improves preservation and flavor, commonly used for larger fish.
Imparts flavor while drying the fish through heat.
Dehydration/Driers: Controlled environments like cabinet, tunnel, or solar tent dryers are used to ensure higher quality and better hygiene than open-sun drying
