This isn't in the sharpest focus, and I know that the eye isn't in focus at all, and all the expert advice on shots of any creature emphasize that getting the eye in focus is the most important thing. But this insect was tiny (I shot it with the macro snap-on lens), it didn't hold still (or stay long) . . . and while I tried to get the whole side in focus, the eye actually is nowhere near the most interesting feature of this insect. The clear legs and colored abdomen are more interesting.
These were my final outcomes for the project "Translucent", where I designed a surface pattern in four different colour ways. After many developments and experiments, I settled on this use of laser printed acetate and hot glue beads. The print had come from my experimentations of brusho powder and water droplets on a variety of surfaces including tissue paper and fabrics of differing thicknesses and fibres. The glue drops had derived from the rain drops and condensation droplets I had photographed as part of my initial research into the project "Translucent". I feel this piece is successful in that itself is a final outcome and that it could also be developed further into printed textile repeat patterns.

Autumn leaf cane on scrap clay background (I wouldn't normally use that colour combination!). I used extremely thin cane slices, baked at Kato temp and dunked in ice water. Worked much better. The mint-and-chocolate pair at the back were me once again meaning to mix scrap clay together, but I ended up with a twisty cane that had a lovely cross-section, so I made beads with it instead...

To die -- takes just a little while --
They say it doesn't hurt --
It's only fainter -- by degrees --
And then -- it's out of sight --
A darker Ribbon -- for a Day --
A Crape upon the Hat --
And then the pretty sunshine comes --
And helps us to forget --
The absent -- mystic -- creature --
That but for love of us --
Had gone to sleep -- that soundest time --
Without the weariness -- emily dikenson
