This is a toothbrush rug in progress. It's being constructed from old sheets torn into 2" strips. My goal is to make this rug 36" across - I'm currently at 16"
Looks like an old Anti-Graffiti mural, but "PROGRESS" is written in graffiti-style lettering, which was definitely a no-no, and still is at Anti's successor, Mural Arts, unless the artist is Steve Powers with his Love Letters project, which was awesome, btw...
Third day progress with only three Home Depot trips so far.
Yet another career path best avoided.....
Summer home.
Uploaded with theGOOD Uploadr. Almost certainly the best flickr uploadr ever.
This week, I was paired with Rob, aka dobseh for the Get Pushed group.
There's nothing I don't love about being a part of this group. No matter how exhausted I get, I find myself signing up every week to give myself something to grow on. Rob was no exception this week-- he forced me to grow (and show my growth... literally!)
His challenge to me:
"Ok, so i've been through your stream, you've got some nice stuff in there, but I'd like to challenge you to do something I haven't seen in a your stream.
Hard light - I'd like you to show off the new life inside you by crafting some light around your bump. You will probably need to use your tripod(you can also use someone else to trigger the shutter). I don't want to see to much grain, so no high ISO! It might also work better has a high contrast B+W, but that is entirely up to you. You can use natural or artificial light, again that's up to you. "
He nailed it. I've never tried something like this and needed to be pushed in order to get it done!
I wanted a black background and the closest I could get in my home was in the bathroom (our shower curtain is navy and knew it'd look black in B&W). So, I set myself up in the dark bathroom with 6 candles hanging out on the toilet. I toted my tripod in with me and posed for probably way more takes than I should have. In the end, this was the one I was happiest with. I think I learned a lot about harsh lighting and I know I have much more to learn about it. It's def. something I'll be trying again in the future (hopefully in different settings!)
I also want to add that at 4 1/2 months pregnant, I am happy to at any time record bits of this pregnancy to remember. I know this will go by faster that I can image and there's so many things that I take for granted with it. Despite exhaustion and a bit of heart burn, I'm really in great health. I can still work full time and still take care of my home. I'm so thankful for that and want to remember that I'm lucky to have these blessings!
Oh, and besides a crop and rotating the image slightly (I realized my tripod was on a slant making the image slanted) this is SOOC.
The stars aligned and I moved past the two places that were confusing me. I did shred one thread doing the first sewing. I'll fix that later.
the starlet is coming along...

Advancing cautiously under adverse signals, the driver of 70025 makes slow progress in the thick fog.
As you can see the title is really shouting on my image...(not unless you see otherwise eg child labor)This is included on my first few photos i took .. my escort told me that we start on the top of the Ulingan .. for me to see the "grandeur" of the Place.I was actually zoomed at 130mm on this shot. to see the perseverance and the helpfulness of a child (and hope / think he enjoys it).. it still brings out a joy in me.. a smile ..:)
My first mohair reroot, for Oles birthday custom Blythe doll. The hair is a pleasure to work with!
I'm still the slowest rerooter on earth, took my 5 hours already.
Everybody's a bloody critic. I KNEW I shouldn't let the Flicker talk to the duck.
For those in North America with clear skies tonight, this could be the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. The moon will be a problem, but you may be able to see some in the northeast right after dark and before moonrise. It's highly recommended as one of the top cheap date ideas as well.
