Lily Photographic Print Launch

I've put up one of my lily prints in my etsy shop. I love this one! A little Asiatic lily kissed by the rain. I did a really subtle watercolor effect on this print to pop those colors and the depth of the center. I'm loving the prints I received from my new processor. LOVE THEM! I can't wait to get into the really creative stuff with them. They do gallery blocks, and prints on metal..oo I can't wait to try that!

I'll be posting more of my floral photography in the next few days and weeks.

I LOVE EWE

My new painting. I've learned 2 things with this painting. I need to not be so impatient and let layers dry before I move on to the next... and I really love watercolor, and need to source more colors than just my landscape pallet.

More of my photography

I've been playing a bit with my camera as I've got a wedding shoot coming up in the very near future! (Hi C&C...)  Since I've switched over to digital, I've not had a lot of time to play with my creative settings on the new set up. It's a bit new-fangled and cornfusin'. That being said, my camera can take awesome shots all on it's own, without much programming from me. That does take a bit away from the creativity aspect of it all. 

Anyway, I figured it was time to show yet another shot that I've been playing around with. This has yet to be listed in my shop, but it'll make it there some day. It just seems like such a great shot for boys room decor. A bit of the "face the world and be fearless"

I love the dreamy effect it has. His little clenched fists and all.

Well it's late, I should be in bed. Heck I should have been in bed hours ago. Night world..See you tomorrow.

NEARLY A MONTH?!?!

I've left my blog, nearly a month? That's nearly impossible to believe.. but there it is. I've been busy on little man projects with my boy. Oh so many cute little kid projects, and not much spare time to create on my own. I spent the first year of his life burning the candle at both ends, and refuse to do it unless absolutely necessary these days.

I've got up coming work however, soon to be displayed on my etsy shop and this blog. I've finally made the decision to break out some of my photo pieces for sale and display. I've been playing around a bit with digital manipulations, but think I will also offer the original versions as well..especially ones like my lilac piece:

I love this shot, both ways, digitally altered for a "watercolor" effect, and as the straight shoot. Lilacs are one of my favorites.

Lots of new fairies, silk tie floral pins, and ornaments are being made in prep for my two shows mid October and the first weekend in November!
