Maya is a Ruby Red Fashion Friends doll and Minnie is her sister from the giftset "Tutu Cute".
Fashions made by me.
I ordered her early in December, just received her today. As a consolation Purelati gave me this years calendar :) She is terribly cute, those big sparkly eyes makes her more special. She is my first normal resin lati yellow and I didn't know it's very close to my white. Anyways, she comes with her stock wig which looks so awesome with those layers, I just love it!

Thor and Amy Muller are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I first met them when we had our challenging Zooomr 2 launch at their Valleyschwag Hoedown. Since then I've gotten to know them a little better.
Thor and Amy are the co-founders of Rubyred Labs in San Francisco. They have a great cereal bar there amongst over things.
I took this shot of Thor giving Amy a kiss at Mike Arrington's TechCrunch7 party. I was really happy that Amy liked it enough to even use it on her blog. She writes a blog called Mommybrain and is a very devoted mother to their son Quinn. We spent a lot of time at the TechCrunch party taking about kids and the challenges of raising kids these days, schools etc.
They also are behind the company Valleyschwag where you can subscribe to a monthly service that will send all kinds of cool tech schwag to you in the mail.
I always love seeing people in love.
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.
This drop-in spent most of it's golden years outside a cattle stockyard in Ocala, and it's got more than a few years of grime to go.
Making it's appearance was all the talk of the Spring Barn Finds Bash, but by the time it arrived, this one was already winding down.
