A Splash of Red!

For many many years, I have resisted the lure of the die cutting/embossing machines considered essential by most of my crafting peers.

But I have finally succumbed, and I spent last night playing with my new toys! I don’t generally make cards until I need them, but this was my first finished product!

Today we were supposed to be going out for the day to celebrate my birthday, but last night it snowed…

… so we postponed the trip and I went out with my camera instead. A splash of red in all that white!

365 Catch Up!

I got a bit behind with posting my images, the last couple of days – so here are the catch-ups!

I like to read unconventional books…

… and Be Here Now is definitely in that category. It was something of a cult book in America back in late 1970’s, and is unusual in the way it is printed. The content is very thought provoking.

I’ve been doing a lot of white on black work over the last few days, but yesterday I thought I’d ring the changes…

… by taking a white on white picture.

That’s the catching up done. You’ll have to wait till later for today’s offering!

White on Black

Getting ready to create, white on black…

… shapes, angles, shadows, reflections – all combine to make a whole.

Nature Table

Do you remember the Nature Table at Primary School?

I never grew up! – I still collect bits on my walks and scatter them round the flat.

Gift of Flowers

Every week since Bry and I have been together, he has bought me flowers.

This rose is part of today’s gift. Beautiful – isn’t it!

Abstract Macro

Today, it was cold and icy outside…

… so I stayed indoors and played with some Macro shots!

Fresh Snowfall

Today saw fresh snow falling on yesterday’s ice…

… making everything look pretty – hiding the danger lurking underneath.

Winter Ice

I took a walk to look at the sea today…

… but didn’t want to risk skating on the sea of ice!

Winter Colour

On these cold grey winter days…

… every bit of colour makes a difference.
