Irish Sketches

January 11th, 2013

Raw drizzly day – going through things in my studio and came across these sketches I did when we were in Ireland. I remember exploring with a roughly textured paper and a bamboo reed pen.

The weather changes faster than one can blink!

Spring

Playing around with some melted, mixed and reformed crayons I was given and it turned into this. Think I’m thinking spring.

Lemon, Asparagus and a basket of Spring!

Lens for my iPhone

January 3rd, 2013

I love my new lens for my iPhone! Kevan and Erin gave me this lens that slips onto my iPhone. One way it is a fisheye lens and the other a wide angle. If you remove the wide angle lens it becomes a macro lens.

Here are 3 views of the same thing. The first set is in my garden.

The second set is of my lap top.

I didn’t realize about the macro at first so here is a sample fisheye and a macro of the orange pencil. All taken with my iPhone!!
