It has been a day. I finally got this craft project underway, and am feeling very accomplished. These are hanging from my orange tree, over the table on our back patio. I just need to acquire a bunch of tealights, and we'll be able to rock our patio after-dark, now.
On a more dismal note, my second SX-70 has called it quits on me today. I must have some questionable karma for this to happen twice, now. I am feeling quite disheartened about it. In fact, I am downright bummed out. Should I actually invest in a third, and hope this time will be different? Just bought a bunch of 600 film, too. I guess I just want some sort of guarantee of proper functionality, without having to pay a ridiculous price for it. Sigh. I guess I should have just picked up a medium format camera from the beginning.
Version 1
Two hacks were used: 1. Dense tissue paper with a small whole to show the main subject. 2. For texture on the background and table sections I used a photoboard.

Now you know why he's REALLY called "Clutch"!
"Let it out" is a real Kleenex corporate slogan, at least they're not in denial as to how their products are being used!
this sounds like it should be the title of a book.....where mysterious but ultimately tedious things happen to people wearing flouncy hats....
“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” - Denis Waitley
Experimenting with tissue paper and light painting today.
or has the word become politically uncorrect? I notice that everyone is saying sewists or sewers (which just looks wrong). Dressmaking doesn't necessarily refer only to dresses - you can get dressed in anything.
Anyway, I am trying to convert a horrible dress bought online that looks more like a duvet cover with a V-shape for the neckline into a wearable dress using a paper pattern. The photo is for utata iron photographer 335 which requires:
1 Embedded/implanted/stuck
2 Paper
3 Warm lighting
Can I say that the bubbles are embedded in the glass paperweight? or the pins embedded in the pattern and fabric?

Korean bookmark, stuck on a window pane (inside) and some tissue paper (outside). The sun was behind it but bounced back from somewhere and illuminated the golden coloured bookmark.
On occasion, in this rather crazy and serendipitous world of ours, you may be fortunate enough to meet a person who shares with you a number of characteristics or traits, whether they be a soulmate, or just a like minded soul.
Well, thanks to Flickr, I have "met" (not physically but mentally and spiritually) a number of such like minded souls (since I already have my soulmate). If you follow my photostream you will know that I am blessed to be surrounded by a number of artists, including the artisan who gave me this present, and more so, a gift that goes far beyond the present itself. Made with love, it really is the gift that keeps on glistening.
I am one of those people who really enjoy Christmas. I enjoy it for many reasons, not least of all because I get to give gifts I have gathered throughout the year to my family and friends, and I get to wrap them up in beautiful papers and bows. I don't do it for the accolades, or even for a word of appreciation. I do it because I really get so much pleasure from the gift of giving, and the art of gift giving. This artisan friend of mine is exactly the same, and a rare individual who truly appreciates the art of giving and sharing art. I feel exactly the same when giving gifts. Often it is far more than the gift itself, but the experience of receiving the gift and the delight, joy and anticipation of carefully unwrapping a piece of art, to reveal a piece of art that I am giving.
Imagine my excitement and sheer delight when my artisan friend from half way across the world sent me the most wonderful gift of a handmade tassel. This collage is made up of images I took when I received it, with the tassel at its heart, and details of the tassel tall around it.
The present came presented in pink tissue paper. As the tissue paper fell away, it revealed an ornately decorated box featuring an actress from an Eighteenth Century opera by Rameau or Lully, performed for the Sun King, as well as a beautiful French court shoe, tied with a pink satin bow decorated with bejewelled lace and silk flowers. Inside on the underside of the lid was the actress' male theatrical companion, whilst wrapped up in a star spangled transparent bag, the beautiful tassel sat on a soft bed of padding.
The tassel itself is made up of carefully selected ribbons and laces, and even a few skeins of woven wool, mostly in shades of dusky pink (one of my favourite colours), decorated with the most remarkable collection of silver charms, all of which are connected to me in a personal way: teddy bears and a hearts, love tokens, kisses, stars and a wonderful book of faerie tales which reads "once upon a time".
As you know, if you listen to my teddy bears, I'm an old softie - even more than they are - so by the time I reached the tassel, I was a blubbering mass of tears, not because I was unhappy, but because I was so touched that my artisan friend took the time to create a gift of art, so deeply faceted with layers of her careful observations of me, my likes and passions, that it quite stunned me!
I shall be forever grateful to this wonderful friend, who truly is proof that love is the indeed the gift that keeps glistening!
Merry Christmas to you all!
When I was a child oranges and lemons were routinely wrapped in tissue paper printed with wonderful pictures of seemingly exotic places, sicilian blood oranges I am delighted to say continue the tradition. To see more go to: brunchatgoodies.wordpress.com/2016/05/20/sicilian-blood/

MEANING OF PIECE:
Visual language used to generate the merging of figures to form one unity with activity. The texts reflects the adventure of travel as seen in the joy and wonderment on the faces. The hotel receipts, restaurants menus and mud cloths are the actual artifacts gathered in my travels. The creation of this work was an opportunity to once again experience how I travel the world to better understand it.

For 'Macro Friday' theme of 'on the mirror'.
Wasn't attempting anything like this.
I was having trouble stopping the glass ball from rolling off the mirror and whilst I was attempting to level it I supported a piece of blue tissue paper over the top. The paper slipped a bit, the sunlight caught it, and I grabbed my camera. As the sun moved I took three pictures and this is the best.
Little chance of any repeat!

this one was made by a friend for me on my birthday....my first b'day in college...missing those hands that sketch so effortlessly... :)
apparently a buddhist word that means the space between sky and earth, the place where birds, etc. fly. Empty air. Mid-air. An internal hollow. Vague. Hollow. Around the center of the sky. Or, emptiness. A state when the feet do not touch the ground. Inattentiveness. The inability to decide between two things. Midway. The center of the sky (the zenith).

Didn't have much inspiration this week, but as one artist once said, when in doubt paint (or take a photo!) So I took some coloured pencils and coloured tissue paper and tried various things. This is the only result that worked!
If anyone has any ideas I should try with these items, please let me know!

These gorgeous red poppies only last about a day and then the petals fall off, their beauty dies and it's a whole year before they reappear.....
I guess we're all a bit like wildflowers.... we last for such a short time on this earth, but God has promised in His word, The Bible, that those who accept His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, will have an eternal home in Heaven with Him.
I asked the Lord Jesus to forgive my sins and save me when I was just 16, and over the past 23 years, he has never ever let me down... our friends, loved ones, those around us will fail us and disappoint us, but always trust God!
For a couple of days last week Mum and I stayed in a lovely little B&B just outside Cushendall, Co. Antrim, and just down the hill from it, there was a wonderful garden FULL of poppies and other wildflowers... I'll post a complete picture later this week :)
A huge thank you to everyone for the fantastic comments on yesterday's starry night photo, I hope to get back on track tomorrow and catch up with you all, in the mean time, have a rich, blessed and peaceful Sunday :)
