One more for the day

One more for the day. I could not resist this. I wanted to take advantage of the daisy before it wilted! And then I caught my little photographer with his newly given camera.

Pink Lady

Here is another TTV. I decided to incorporate into a mixed media project. The original photo is on the far right. The other two are photos of a 4" by 4" gallery wrapped canvas. I made a gel transfer of the flower image onto it. I then painted the sides black to match the black border that is always on the TTV photos. The transfer not only softens up the pic but also adds character with the white spots. As with most transfer processes you never get a completely perfect image. I guess if you did why do it at all. I will be doing more of these. Love them. I just have to round up some more canvas.

Yellow and Pink

Playing around again today. I just love this technique. The way it is a little blurry and dirty.

Exploring Photography

I have recently discovered that I have an interest in photography. I think that it might be a natural progression for someone who uses photos in their artwork to eventually be interested in using their own photos. This is a really cool technique called Through the Viewfinder. This is one of my very first tries and I can see that I have a lot of improving but I am having a blast trying. This is of a bloom on a neighbors tree. It has been so windy lately that I have not gotten out too much to take any more.

Back into a schedule

It is always so hard to get back into a regular schedule after going on a vacation. We had such a good time at Sea World. It always seems to go by so fast. The kiddos are already wanting to talk about when we are going back. But for now, we are getting into the routine of school and soccer games. I was hoping to have time to do the MMM challenge but don't think I will be able to jump in until next week. I gotta unpack the RV and do laundry like a mad woman in order to catch up.

Off to Sea World

We are off to Sea World tomorrow morning so things will be pretty quiet around here this week. I am hoping to be all charged up and ready to jump back in next week. Hope everyone has a great Spring Break!

My baby loves to take pics!

So just recently Bailey (my soon to be 7 year old ) has asked for a camera. And I gotta tell ya, he takes the best pictures. I don't know if it is because he just randomly takes them or because he has a natural nack. This picture is more of the silly random ones but I thought it was pretty cute. I am thinking that maybe I should go ahead and give the little guy a "real" camera and let him go for it.
