Macro Mania.

My locket chain. Tiny blades of dead grass. Tape with lint on it. A dried leaf. The bottom of a pill container. A broken SD card. A deformed M&M. Condensation in a water bottle. A die. The bottom of a tiny spring. The bottom of a used paint brush. The older sister's spaghetti eye. So I rented a macro lens for a day! I had some fun with it and here are some of my favourite shots. I've always been a huge macro fan, especially microscopic things.

Pine Apple.

This play on words was sitting in my sketchbook for a couple of years so I finally decided to create it. It's a pine apple that is made entirely out of pine needles, a pine branch for the wick, and glue. It took me a few days to get it all done! It looks great on my shelf - maybe I'll sell it!

Fall Rise Project - Numbered Leaves

This is my latest art project called Fall Rise. This Brampton project consisted of number stamping 1,500 leaves from around the area, and then releasing them along a portion of the Etobicoke Creek Trail (Sandalwood to Williams) for people to find as treasures. They'll be on the trails from Wednesday, December 19th. The day before the last day of fall. :) The ink is permanent and waterproof! I actually learned a lot about leaves while making this project. I didn't realize how many different types of trees were growing around my neighbourhood, along with the crazy shapes the leaves have. A lot of the leaves would react in a different way towards the ink, and many of them would dry in different ways too. Leaves are something I see every single Autumn but never think twice about. This was a fun challenge to get myself to see familiar things in a deeper and more observable way. Leaves are beautiful! If you find one, feel free to e-mail me a photograph of it. More pics to come! Edit: It was in the paper: Cheers,

Pin Brush.

This is a hair brush made of pins which is actually a mirror. And I think I have a faulty tripod.
