Playing Photographically--or-- How I Get Sidetracked On Work....

I was in the process of getting the completed hearts ready for shooting when I looked at the table and decided the mess was delicious camera fodder. I want to add, this is all just as it was on the table; nothing was moved for better photos.....it is my mess.

This close crop was exceptionally pleasing; I liked the flow of reds with the touches of white.  It is one I could easily see having lettering over it and being used as a blog header or for an Etsy store.....maybe it's the size, the colors, I don't know. I am sure the shape has a lot to do with it.

All the photos should enlarge, so give them a click and see more of the detail. That is the fun part!

And now we pull back a bit. This was what the previous sliver was cropped aggressively from, though I like the clutter and lack of organization in this too. The cutting mat on the table, with the grid, adds an odd sense of attempted order in a completely unordered conglomeration of supplies!

And the final shot, from whence the others came (actually the first shot) showing two more panels covered with the B&W damask paper, some clay tidbits, pencils, pens......there is so much colorwise that I think it would be fun to further crop small sections, providing almost abstract images. Odd how a simple photograph can get the creative eye going and produce numerous results.

And the completed hearts?

They shall have to wait till tomorrow or possibly the next day. I am not doing well with the leg (have overdone stuff---imagine that!) and cannot sit long enough to crop them and get them squared. I hope you'll forgive me......I was all excited about getting them on blog for today as they took me by the hand and showed me what they wanted to become! Quite seriously, things happened I had not planned, it was some unexpected joy-ride and the results were very nice!

All in all, I think you'll find them worth the wait.

Now back to the do-nothing, leg-elevated, squat-on-TV, have-knit-myself-blind, I-am-being-Miz-Cranky-Pants, rest time.

Pfffft!

I know; it is for my own good, and good is what I send to all of you. Good thoughts, good wishes, good health and definitely good humor!

And of course,

Pax.

P.S. Happy Birthday Dad! I know it is a good day where you are!!! ♥
