Sorry to keep uploading similar stuff from the other day…
I just loved all of these shots too much not to.
Sorry there's another fish one....I made several......they sell really well.
I thought the buddha would go right away......but it's the only one left!
Maybe I have the sign upside down!!! just thought of that!
I know this seems dramatic, but I am not as lonely as the title would have you believe – It's the title of an album I am fond of, and it simply felt appropriate. I won't deny that today's very intense (and unwelcome) snowstorm is phasing this whole city, and that definitely makes me feel like curling up all day in bed… which I have done. Classes were canceled today. I wish I could just flick a switch, and it would be spring. I do miss Scotty and am having a twinge of the I'm-lonely-and-I-need-cuddles syndrome, but not to worry, as I will be visiting him on the west coast in two weeks. So all is well, really. I've actually been feeling really at peace and at home with myself lately.
Wow, days like this make me even more long-winded than usual.
A macro view of a lens-distorted light switch and decorative plate.
Strobist info:
The switch and plate were illuminated by a single Nikon SB900 speedlight positioned at 5-o'clock and slightly above and behind the camera. It was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄64 power through a 24" x 24" Neewer soft box.
The SB900 was triggered by two PockerWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Helios 44M-4 f2/58mm with a 20mm extension tube attached.
The decor in some abandoned apartments we explored included this great wallpaper and push-button light switch. The switch plate looks sort of tarnished despite the cool swooshes, and I wonder what those colorful wires were for.
I won't put the details into the leaves of the Ginkgo leaves or the dragonfly until I am relatively satisfied with the form and the shapes.
I am working over a GFCI wall plate because it is the configuration that needs the most clearance.
I have to be sure the dragonfly clears the opening.
This is still rough. Most of the labor is in the finish, and the final fitting.

When you own pugs, your friends and family start to give you *lots* of pug-themed gifts! In addition to all these stuffed animal pugs (Can you spot Wookie in the mix?), I've been given pug barrettes, pug photo frames, a pug purse, a pug lamp, pug statues, pug collectors plates, pug ornaments, pug salt & pepper shakers and even a pug switchplate. I'm endlessly amazed that all these items are on the market!
And... in case you're wondering -- we do not have a pug-heavy decor in our home. My personal style also does not include pug clothing or accessories. As much as I love all the pug gifts, most of them are not on regular display.
Finally got my piccie up. I was tagged by the lovely ‘Bunny*Lover ‘ and ‘Imafundork’
Thanks ladies :D The last time I was tagged I had to snap and go so this time I put a bit of slap on and tried to look presentable.
I always play safe and tag people I know so this time I am going to tag Flickr contacts I would like to know better. Milkywaysugar, Maidensuit, Threaddough, Steph.kaye, Steelapathy
Here are my 10 things.
1# I wish I had longer eyelashes and straighter teeth. If I had money I would get a brace.
2# My dream is to be self sufficient. We have just bought 2 pigs and we’re planning chickens next. I’ve started a veg patch in the back garden.
3# I used to be a Special Police Constable and I loved it. I left when I moved to Norfolk and I would love to do it again. One of my ambitions is to drive a police car, I left just before I was due to take my driving course :*(
4# I love American Crime and Supernatural dramas my favourites are CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York, Bones, Mentalist (I have a crush on Simon Baker), Fringe, Medium, Supernatural and Ghost Whisperer.
5# I collect My Little Ponies. Lots of them lol. I have a whole room decorated with clouds that houses my collection (and other 80’s toys). My poor husband has to sit in there to use his computer lol. I decked it out with MLP curtains, lightshade, switchplate, rug, clock, notice board and bean bag. 3 bookcases display the collection. I’ll take pictures one day.
6# I smile A LOT! I think this is why I look younger than I am. I’m 30 and I got asked for ID in the pub yesterday.
7# I love being silly. I do little dances, sing little songs, make silly faces and do silly voices all for the benefit of my hubby Rob. I am like a precocious show child in front of a camera lol.
8# I love having hobbies. Apart from Blythe and My Little Pony, I do Flamenco dancing, Historical Re-enactment and I just joined an Amateur Dramatics society.
9# I am at a crossroads in my life career wise. I trained as a costume maker and have worked in Theatre for 10 years. I am considering MA Textiles to get some of my own creativity out, I feel I have just been a manufacturer of other people’s designs.
10# I love a drink now and again, then again, and again and again. Cider Mmmm. My favourite brands and Aspalls, Bulmers, Magners and Strongbow. Usually Aspalls as it’s local to East Anglia.
modern floral design lightswitch. The best feature is glow in the dark clay! All the white clay here is glow in the dark so when the lights go out....it still shines!!!
He was anxious to show us his new apartment. His room was the smallest room in the attic. Every wall except one, had a slope to it. I was immediately taken by the light and the angularity of the place and asked him to pose for a picture.
" Not now, Dad. I want to show you everything first, then we can do pictures". "But the light will have changed by then... I'll be quick", I stressed. He sat and looked at the camera (click one). I asked him to look out the window and pretend he was thinking about something (click two). "That's it, lets go"!
The window had already fell off it's hinges before he moved in. It would remain there for another four months, until the cold weather came. The blue box on the right was an electric fan we had just brought him as a housewarming gift.
It was only after we got home that I noticed the varying shades of blue in the shot.
I cropped it to look like a light switch plate ....and resisted the urge to call it
A Room with a View.
I have something serious to say.
For all the young Mothers, or Artists who work full time and have to make their own things at home, you know who you are.
Just because you might get paid to go to work and make stuff, does not mean that you will be without interruptions.
Just like at home.
You have to learn to work in increments, and take advantage of any time available, not matter how small the unit of time.
We’ve acquired another wonderful bird painting. It flew down from Alberta, Canada. Artist and crafts person, Lesley Bergen created
this lovely cut-out painting. Wish I could buy the whole flock.

Bentley 4.5 litre Tourer (1927-31) Engine 4398 cc S4 OC
Production 720 (includes 55 Blower Bentley's)
Body Vanden Le Mans replica
Chassis Number PB 3537
Registration Number GJ 3235 (London)

Designed by W O Bentley (Walter Owen Bentley) and built at Cricklewood, the Bentley 4½ litre is a British car based on a rolling chassis built by Bentley Motors, in model years 1927-31, as a more powerful replacement for the Bentley 3 litre, although the two models did coexist until 1929. Bentley buyers purchased a rolling chassis and selected their desired bodies, mostly Saloons and Tourers, to be built to their own specification from a variety of independent coach builders.
A total of 720 4½ Litre cars were produced between 1927 and 1931, including 55 cars with a supercharged engine popularly known as the Blower Bentley. A 4½ Litre Bentley won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1928. Though the supercharged 4½ Litre Bentley's competitive performance was not outstanding, it set several speed records
The 4½ litre was a heavy car, weighing 1,625 kg (3,583 lb), and spacious, with a length of 4,380 mm (172 in) and a wheelbase of 3,302 mm (130.0 in), it was also well balanced and with nimble handling. The robustness of the 4½ Litre's lattice chassis made of steel and reinforced with ties, was needed to support the heavy cast iron inline-four engine. The 4398cc engine was fed by twin SU carburettors and dual ignition with Bosch magnetos with an output of 110hp for the touring model and 130 hp for performance and racing models, with the engine speed limited to 4000 revs. A single, crossflow, overhead camshaft actuated four valves per cylinder, inclined at 30 degrees. This was a technically advanced design at a time where most cars used only two valves per cylinder in a side-valve cylinder head. The camshaft was driven by bevel gears on a vertical shaft at the front of the engine, as on the 3 Litre engine. Brakes were conventional, consisting of 17-inch (430 mm) drum brakes finned for improved cooling and operated by rod. Semi-elliptic leaf springs were used at front and rear

Chassis PB3537 was built at Bentley's Cricklewood works as a standard 1930 Model 4½ Litre on the standard 10' 10" wheelbase chassis: with engine PB3531; "D" type gearbox; and late pattern rear axle with 15/53 3.53 axle ratio.
The chassis frame is the late pattern with deep bottom flanges and reinforcing plates inside the chassis above the strut gear uprights. The braking system is as per the 1930 specification with self-wrapping brakes and stainless steel handbrake lever.
The engine is the original with Electron sump, turret and valve chest the sideplates are stainless steel. The carburettors are original HVG5 pattern on the original manifold complete with all the original rods and levers. Also, the brake pedal shaft is the late pattern mounted on aluminium trunion blocks. The instruments are original Jeager speedo and revolution counter, together with Smiths' clock. Smiths' 0-60 oil pressure gauge, Smiths' bezel switch/ammeter, Smiths' starter switch. and additional oil temperature gauge, Ki-gass contol, Bosch horn buttons and twin dash lamps. The switchplate is the standard Bentley unit with the original chassis number PB3537.
Chassis PB3537 was originally bodied by Freestone & Webb as a saloon, then converted into a shooting brake in the 1940s, stripped down to a crude open-sided body in the 1950s and finally re-bodied with this replica team car body in the late 1960s.

taken for macromondays theme: found in my junk drawer
these switch plates are in a ziplock bag at the back of our kitchen junk drawer - behind the batteries and chair glides. they're handmade leather. I bought them for a former home many years ago, but they've never been the right configuration for any room in succeeding houses. I love them, though, so I just keeping bringing them along.
