Can't believe how clear Malkov's eyes showed up in this pic. I suspect I'll be getting a lot of use from this photo.

Reflections

The reflection is so clear in this pic. Overcast day- still waters.

Cabinet is ready to fill

I finally got the little cabinet finished. Now I just have to decide what to put in it.


I realized that I had it upsidedown when I painted it- so I had to paint the actual top. It's a good thing though. It is meant to hang on a wall so the top and bottom both needed coverage anyway.
I ended up using some of the Golden Garnet gel over some gold Fashion Flakes leafing foil with Radiant Rain paints over it.

Went to visit friends in the country

They have an absolutely beautiful and magical place.

With some very interesting things to photograph.

Still working in AUTO mode

Lots of animals.
Animals who liked to pose for photos even.

This guy did NOT want to pose. Finally got a lucky shot.

The llamas have a lot of personality. And the most gorgeous eyes!

A leaf. A pretty amazing leaf.

So far I've mostly played with the Auto mode with the new camera - and Super Macro

Photos with the new camera

Definitely enjoying the new camera.

Detail of texture.

Can't wait to pull off that masking tape. It will go into some other project...


I know you aren't supposed to mix water base paints with enamels and such...
But I had to try it anyway.
I don't know that this will hold up. It might all peel off at some point.
but maybe not. I got more great textures.

I mixed some spray enamels, spray glue, spray webbing and Radiant Rain paints.

Corrugated Rain

Not sure what I will do with this piece either.
The Radiant Rain stuff is very cool on corrugated cardboard. Especially nice when folded to reveal lots of different colors....

Textured Radiant Rain

I have been having another play with the Radiant Rain sprays and daubers.
I added some swirls of Crafter's Pick Glue and coated it with Opals clear embossing enamel.
It did a lot of popping and bubbling when I heated it. Gave a very interesting texture.

I put a few more coats of the Radiant Rain over it. The sprays and daubers react differently to non porous surfaces. Heat set the whole thing.

I wanted this for a background- but now I hate to cover it up.
It might become a book cover...

Duck

Went to the park. Many ducks.

super macro

Super Macro setting on new camera is awesome.

I love doing closeups of flowers.
