while out in the garden this morning i noticed these tall stems of little tiny bell shaped flowers that were all drooped over due to the morning watering weighing them down. i know what this plant is but can't think of the name at the moment. i visually isolated this tiny pink flower and did an ultra close macro. i know that the focus is really too soft on this shot but i liked the way it looked anyway. it just seemed full of early morning goodness. this next shot was taken a bit further back so you can see more of the whole stem of flowers. love that water/flower bokeh in the background and the drops clinging to some of the flowers in this one~!~
this afternoon i made it into the rose garden and this opening bud was so pretty but did have some spots on it so i tried to frame it up so that they weren't so noticeable. i also did some in camera adjustments and liked what happened with the exposure and slight softening of color.
this one's for you Miss Tiffanny~!~
as far as collage work today i cut my newest watercolor paper background into 4" X 6" card bases.

and i discoverd that i could store them neatly in an old photo album that i had laying around. i'm fairly certain that i can't be the first person to discover the convenience of this organizational trick but i'm very pleased with the way it will work out. i have finished or almost finished cards in the front and backgrounds in the back. now if i could only find those missing backgrounds . . .


i also spent a while cutting out lettuce bits from my paper napkin and arranging them into the latest fairey fashion statement. no glue yet but a definate plan of action now.

  1. Hi, Libby....thanks so much for the website...it looks very interesting! And I love the use of napkins...so, do you put something on them to stiffen them or preserve them in anyway (if you have already explained this in an earlier blog I must have missed it...just give me the date and I'll look back. Glad my "log cabin" gave you a chuckle!

  3. hi Jay,
    the napkins are a bit tricky and one must be very careful. i'll be working with them again later on today and will try to include some info about handling them in today's post.

    thank you Pom Pom for the visit and the comment~!~

  5. Wow, that lettuce napkin looks like real actual 3-dimensional lettuce! I never would have guessed it was paper from the photos.
