Snow Fun

Just playing around with Picmonkey and my tatted snow crystals.
Cropping, adding, reversing, fading . . .fun!

A Flurry of Flakes

Okay, so four flakes don't qualify as a flurry.

And technically speaking, snowflakes are made of more than one snow crystal stuck together.  That was something I learned a few years ago when I came across the work of Wilson A. Bentley, also known as Snowflake Bentley.  He pioneered the technique of photomicrography, and is recorded as the first to photograph a single snow crystal.  Quite a challenge, considering the equipment needed and conditions required.

Color Quest

Another bookmark finished.  

I thought I'd play around with the background again. 

 First I tried this greenish blue.

Next, I went bold with this bright green.

My third try was this light peach.

And last, this bright, (yes, in real life it's bright) sky blue.

I was fascinated by the differences from one background to the next.  Keep in mind that I have done no editing on any of these.

These two pictures were taken minutes apart, under the same lighting, using the same settings.  The only thing I changed was the fabric background. 

Now, I know my point & shoot camera is supposed to have a mind of its own but I think its power has gone to its head!

By the way, in case you were wondering, the first background gave the truest color.

No Flo, No!

Flo:  "Were you going to use this?"

Me:  "Um . . . yes, I was."

Flo:  "Oops.  Sorry!"

How can I not forgive a face like that?

Okay, so get out the tape and clean it up.  Then on to the photo shoot.

PPP - Frivolité

I realized the other day that I have yet to share any tatting here.  And today I was thinking it has been a while since the last PPP.   Well, how neglectful of me!  Please, allow me to make amends.
