Craft (Felted Fossil Stones)

Perhaps not the usual photography I post here but I’ve been quite busy making. These are a few of the wet felted ‘fossil stones’ I’ve been working on lately (they also double as pin cushions!). The gastropod and trilobite forms have been needle felted onto the rocks near the end of the wet felting process. Lots of fun to make.  : )

Frost and Traces

| drawandshoot

Traces of this morning’s delicate frost fading on the window as the day starts to warm (above) and the frost before it starts to fade away.

 

I have made several hundred photographs of frost on this window over the years, some of which are posted  here , but I hadn’t really noticed the traces that are left behind as it disappears.

After the (Freezing) Rain

Moving under Trees

Moving under trees dressed for autumn – leaves at dusk lit by streetlight.

I think I’ll attempt this technique again as the composition (or something) in these images is lacking but I sort of dig this not-so-subtle colour combination.
