Collage

 This week the theme is Collage.

Some new little ink doodles put into a photo collage - first burst of creativity in weeks!

MakroTex challenge
  

Orange Gilded Eggs

An enjoyable past time - 

dying eggs orange and gilding them for

the MakroTex challenge  

Colours of 2017 - Aqua

Dyed and gilded eggs for January's colour Aqua.

We were given an added theme of 'New Beginnings'

Colours of 2015 - Mint

 This month's colour for the Colours of 2015 challenge was mint green.  I didn't plan to photograph it with red, but I found I rather liked the little dash of red on the specs, and then I found the mug at my local DIY store and it fitted the theme perfectly.  I would never normally put mint and red together but I'm rather taken with it!

Themes of 2014 - Pumpkins, Harvest

For October's challenge we were given the subject of pumpkins and harvest.  I decided to go out into the forest and see what might be ready to be harvested - I didn't find the crab apples I was expecting to, but I did come back with a bag full of sweet chestnuts - delicious!
  

Themes of 2014 - Tea Coffee and Comfort

Having taken the summer months off from the challenge I decided to join in with September's theme of Tea Coffee & Comfort.  I found the brown sugar crystals in my local supermarket a long time ago but I knew I'd find a photo opportunity for them eventually!

Themes of 2014 - Flowers

The theme for May's challenge was Flowers.

I decided to capture my garden in a jar - it went along with my desire to try new ways of photographing images (new to me anyway), and of moving out of my comfort zone. 

Photographing through glass was a challenge, with reflection problems and many other little problems that I hadn't foreseen - after many 'fails' I finally had a handful of photos that I felt depicted what I wanted to capture.

Themes of 2014 - shoes and movement

For March the theme we were given was shoes and movement.  It was the perfect opportunity to photograph the old pair of worn out ballet shoes I had picked up in a junk shop, for no reason other than I loved the look of them!

Themes of 2014 - fruit and wellbeing

I've really been enjoying February's theme of fruit for the Themes of 2014 challenge.  

These towers of fruit were my final choice for the challenge, but I've included some of my other ideas below them - you can see how enthusiastic I've been!

Artichokes and Sari Silk

Being lazy can have it's rewards - I didn't get round to cooking this artichoke, but when I came to guiltily throw it away I found it had flowered inside - such a stunning shade of purple!  I've teamed it up with the delicate purples and greys of the sari silk.

I am linking up with Mary over at Mosaic Monday.
