"He who works with his hands is a labourer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist." – Francis of Assisi (Italian Catholic friar and mystic who founded the Franciscan religious orders).

As a creative person, I am always doing something artistic with my hands – photography, painting, writing, poetry, embroidery – and I am always interested in picking up new skills and new activities to add to my already, very full days. When the theme for "Looking close on Friday" for the 18th of September of "hand tools" was announced, I was delighted. Because I do so many different things creatively with my hands, I merely needed to pick some of my hand tools that I use. I could have chosen paintbrushes to go with my painting, or cutting tools to go with my lino cuts, however I have decided to opt for another art I like to create: paper embossing. These interesting objects you see with their gleaming spherical metal ends of different sizes are embossing tools, used to raise the surface of paper in different ways and thicknesses when run across the paper over the top of a soft padded or patterned surface. You will notice a piece of my embossed paper art behind the tools. I often combine pokerwork with embossing, and that is what I have done in this case. I fine the arts of paper embossing and pokerwork to be very mindful and enjoyable. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!

I had to make him three times before it was decent enough to photograph. The guy in the video made this seem easy. It was not easy. Haha!

Macro Mondays - White Paper

This was a more difficult theme this week. After some thought though I decided to go with this. It is the corner of a pile of white paper. I write and scribble things all the time. There is always paper ready for me to use.

Happy Macro Mondays

Macro Monday - white paper

I've kept this text from an old fortune cookie pinned to my fridge, it is a wonderful reminder to see every day. I got manual dexterity practice today when assembling this piece, it was indeed a bit of a challenge for me but I endured the frustration for my vision. The paper for the balloons is not lined but textured.

It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day and I'm sending out a message of hope and peace to you all. Let's look to his example of how to act and treat our fellow citizens.

ايــه أحبــك هـاذا حظــي الــي أنكتــــب ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Sophie inhaled deeply through her nose, held her breath and then exhaled, her nostrils flaring as she did so. She repeated her breathing a few times and then started jumping on pointe, holding her arms ramrod straight and stiff by her side, yet allowing her wrists to be loose and her hands to flap about like tiny wings. The excitement around her in the wings was palpable as members of the corps de ballet gathered about, giggling, gasping, pointing at her whilst looking at her imposing figure and costume with admiration, smiling shyly at her.

It was not so very long ago that Sophie had been a member of this troupe that made up the backbone of the performance. She had danced her way through as a member of the swan flock countless times in Swan Lake and as a snowflake in the Nutcracker. She had worked her way up over the years, entering as an Élève – an apprentice – before becoming a member of the Quadrille where she danced in line with all the others, supporting the principal dancers. When the ballet staged La Bayadère, Sophie was invited to be one of the three Coryphées – fitrst artists – to lead the he corps de ballet through the intricate, repeated patterns of Les Ombres, and she excelled herself. After playing various faeries in Sleeping Beauty, and friends to the leads in Giselle and Don Quixote over time, she proved herself to move up to a Grand Sujet and play Pas de Trois in Swan Lake. Now after all this time, she was no longer playing a Lead Sylph in Les Sylphides, or performing the Peasant Pas de Deux in Giselle. She was a Premier Danseur, and about to make her debut as Cinderella.

And then her moment came and Sophie found herself on stage. As she danced beneath the theatre’s spotlight, she felt the happiness, the exhilaration, the jubilation she always did as she performed with grace on pointe. Although her performance was highly orchestrated, dancing gave Sophie a sense of freedom she never felt at any other time in her life. She needed no wings to fly, only her dainty feet to lift her up and spin her again, and again as again with precision and perfection. Her heart soared high above her, beating with pride. When she finished her first solo as she puffed ragged breaths in and out, all she could hear was the thud of her heartbeats pulsating in her ears. Then it began: the clapping of a pair of hands, two, ten, a hundred, several hundred, a crescendo of applause lifting her spirits higher. It was at that moment, as blinded by the brightness of the spotlight, she made a deep curtsey to her unseen audience beyond the harsh whiteness, Sophie knew she was where she belonged. She was a success! She was home!

The other day I received a purchase from Etsy of an envelope full of beautifully laser cut ballerinas made of crisp white paper. I was particularly enamoured by this lovely one and her exuberant pose. It was a cloudy and overcast day, but I still managed to create a spotlight for this beauty against a black background.

This image I would like to dedicate to my dear Flickr friend FinouCat who loves dancing in all its forms. My wish for her is that she rises on pointe like ma petite danseuse.

For Macro Mondays, this week's theme was "Just White Paper". I mentioned this to my husband, and then found these three little paper fold towers waiting on my desk. They reminded me a bit of drunk New Year's Eve revelers, so I put them in front of glitter paper for the shot.

Macro Mondays Theme: Just White Paper

Subject: White on white. Spiral sketch pad. Using the spiral side, rolled up to simulate spiral staircase side view in 3D effect. To get the real white, I overexposed the subject for about 2 stops, in the histogram it shows a highlight clipping.

All comments are highly appreciated. It will help me a lot to improve my photography skills. Big thanks to all of you for the comments, faves and views.

Happy clicking to all! HMM!!!

Siempre íbamos al mismo lugar, nos sentábamos en la misma mesa y tomábamos lo mismo cada día, muy pegados nos contábamos nuestros problemas, después nos mirábamos con deseo, nos besábamos, sonreíamos y con una mirada de complicidad subíamos a la habitación 101 de aquel hotel con cartel de neón, allí todo se volvía rojo fuego y no era por el cartel.

Así fue durante un tiempo, años, hasta que una tarde lo esperé en la cafetería del hotel pero no llegó, esperé durante horas, entonces supe que no iba a volver a verlo, tras unas horas de espera le dejé una servilleta de papel en nuestra mesa con un beso de despedida, pues supe que era el ultimo beso para él, jamás volvimos a vernos.

This is my photo for Macro Mondays - Just white paper. It is a paper doily on a sheet of white paper.

This is normally where the creativity starts. Or, as today, when it remains empty.

Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag och veckans tema «kreativ».

My contribution for this week's theme «creative»; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.

Graphical heart - sliced? or maybe a sliced strawberry? Your definition? Well, these are small pieces of striped paper curved and positioned on a mirror and photographed in a hard light

At first glace, I thought this capture resembled a Sierra mountainside. So, in adding to the illusion in Lightroom, I used a graduated filter with a blue tint.

Not quite whiter than white. I enjoyed this challenge but couldn't get this without the blue tint. Will revisit another day and play with white balance settings more.

Forgive me for repeating myself throughout each photograph but I'm not expecting you, the viewer, to look at each shot I have taken ... of course I would be delighted if you did.

I diagonally cut a small selection of white pieces of paper and fanned them out. What you see is the shots taken at various apertures, angles and direction of light. I found the simplicity effective and pleasing, I hope you do too? Thank you for taking the time to look at them.
