One last one of Hex from last night. Aw, my pretty princess. I'm trying to give her lots of attention before PF Pong shows up. lol
After decades of matrimony, Mr and Mrs Happy still love each other's compagny. Their secret? Enjoy the little things.
***
Mr & Mrs Happy are the grandparents from Mattel's "The Happy Family" which is the AA version of "The Sunshine Family" precisely from 197?.
Mrs is wearing different pieces from vintage Skipper, BMR1959 hat and RubyRed Galleria shoes made for Riley (by Helen Kish).
Mr is wearing a Blythe cardigan by Ulanna on Etsy, his hat is from a Barbie Fashion avenue outfit, pants made by me.

For the detailed recipe, click here to go to my gourmet webzine.
This is one of the most delicious coffeecakes I’ve ever made. The marriage of fresh raspberries and basil is perfect and was inspired by a delicious raspberry-basil jam I purchased from a lovely auberge in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. To make it even more special, I made a rich cream-cheese frosting which I flavoured with fresh lemon zest and vanilla.
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea in the garden!
I've got a ruby red desire
Like a virus like my last hope
I've got a ruby red desire
I've got to hear the red bird sing
I've got to rip this cord
And rinse this lazy blood
Clear a path and walk away
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been thinking I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
And every memory's a dream
And each uncertainty reminds me why
I saw a kid outside playing by a moongate
Making paper things that fly
I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet
I want to live
I want to live
I want to live
- Heather Nova, 'Ruby red'
And then this happened...
There's definitely something going on with this pitcher!

This is Elizabeth, a limited editions Siblies doll by Ruby Red.
I made her dress, inspired by a Sears 1979 Fall Winter catalog picture.

(I do plan to make all the other ones within the next 65 years)
Before everything went pink.
although i already own a dorothy costume & indeed posted pics on here, this is a newer costume i bought, & also better quality, so i thought i would share it on here
"RUBY RED ROSE" 14" x 11" Woodcut Print on Natural Kitakata Paper. Valerie Lueth + Paul Roden, 2014.
Just finished & up in the shop!

"RUBY RED ROSE" is an edition of 100 woodcut prints. This image is printed from two hand-drawn, hand-carved plywood blocks onto archival paper by the artists. More process photos of the making of this print are viewable on our flickr stream!

The frame is packed edge-to-edge with rounded translucent glass pieces. The dominant forms are large, soft-edged, pebble-like masses rather than sharp shards.
Visible colors include:
* Cobalt blue: large glowing piece near upper right.
* Emerald green: broad piece at lower left-center.
* Ruby red: several pieces at upper left, right-center, and lower right.
* Frosted clear / white glass: central dominant oval.
* Amber / peach glass: upper center.
* Aqua and pale blue: lower center and side areas.
* Yellow-green: upper right edge.
* Violet / deep blue: right side and background pieces.
The central frosted white piece acts as the main visual anchor. It is surrounded by saturated color, so it reads almost like a glowing stone or moon against a field of artificial gems.
The surfaces show small pits, scratches, dust, fibers, and scuffs. These marks are important because they prevent the glass from looking like polished plastic. They give the image tactile age and scale.
Discussion as art
This works as a macro abstract still life. The subject is simple, but the close framing removes ordinary context and turns the glass into a field of color, texture, and light.
The composition is dense and frontal. There is no empty space. That creates a compressed, mosaic-like effect, closer to stained glass or a mineral cross-section than a conventional still life.
The central white glass piece is important. It interrupts the saturated colors and gives the eye a place to rest. Around it, the blue, green, and red pieces form a strong color structure:
* Blue gives cool luminosity and depth.
* Green adds weight and mass at lower left.
* Red adds heat and visual tension.
* White/frosted glass provides tonal balance.
The image is less mysterious than the darker version because the lighting is more even and explanatory. It shows the glass clearly rather than hiding it in shadow. That makes this version more about surface, color, and material evidence, while the darker version would read more dramatically as glowing abstraction.
As an art photograph, it has a synthetic-beauty quality: beach-glass language, but with colors too concentrated to feel fully natural. That tension is useful. It sits between nature, craft material, mineral specimen, and pop-color abstraction.
Focus stacking
Focus stacking is well suited to this subject. At macro distance, a pile of rounded glass has many depth levels: foreground surfaces, central pieces, partially hidden pieces, and rear fragments. A single exposure would not keep this much of the scene sharp.
The stacking appears to provide:
* Broad sharpness across the central white glass.
* Readable texture on the red, green, and blue pieces.
* Clear surface abrasion and pitting.
* Good separation between overlapping glass edges.
* A flattened but highly detailed macro field.
The image has the characteristic look of a successful stack: more depth of field than a single macro frame would normally allow, but still with some natural softness in buried or edge areas.
Possible stacking artifacts to watch for:
* Halos along bright glass edges.
* False sharpness around translucent overlaps.
* Small dust specks becoming overly crisp.
* Local contrast exaggeration on frosted surfaces.
* Slightly artificial transitions where curved glass overlaps another curved piece.
Here, the stack is effective because the main surfaces are sharp without making every background edge equally aggressive. The central white piece, green piece, and large blue piece are the key areas, and they hold focus well.
Technical discussion
The lighting appears to be transmitted or backlit, probably with light coming from below or behind the glass. That is why the pieces glow internally rather than merely reflecting surface light.
The exposure is brighter and more open than a low-key glass study. Highlights are strong but mostly controlled. The central frosted white glass is close to the brightest area, but it still retains texture rather than becoming a blank white shape.
The image benefits from the combination of:
* Frosted texture.
* Transmitted color.
* Close macro framing.
* Deep focus from stacking.
* High local detail.
For a cleaner exhibition version, selective retouching of dust and fibers would help, especially on the red upper-left piece, the central white piece, and the blue upper-right piece. But the dirt and abrasion also support the object’s material identity, so removing all of it would make the picture less physical.
