Winter Bird Series

I got an itch to create some winter bird ornaments, and this is the result. 

These ornaments measure 3-7/8 x 2-7/8 inches - collage melded with beeswax, mounted on heavy mat board and backed with decorative paper. 

All are available in my Etsy Shop. 

What's in my studio

Besides a mess, I have tiny bird ornaments on my work desk - getting ready for the holiday shows!
I am so behind. EEK!

I also have some hearts in blue that will also become ornaments... although you can't see them. Just the one little red heart in the corner leftover from last week.  

The bird ornaments will be similar to these...

In other news, our internet modem went out yesterday late morning. After calling the Comcast "help desk", then their "specialist", it was determined we needed to go get a new one. Waited in a long line, and then when we got home it wouldn't stay connected. Reset, reset, and another call to Comcast. Most of my yesterday was working on that bugger, and getting all our devices connected to the new Wifi setup.  And then this morning we had to reset again to access internet. Sheesh! :)

Anyway, I'm feeling a bit behind today. One of these days I'll feel caught up. Really I will. :)

Mini Art Birds

Busy working on my "inventory" for the Holiday Festival... when I'm not taking photographs for my online class. Actually, these three little birds will be added to my Etsy shop over the weekend. There will be a series of very similar little birds at the Festival again this year along with other fun things I'll share along the way.

On another note, here's a photo from a class assignment showing shallow depth of field. I got a good note from Steve, the instructor, so at least I did this one correctly. *grins*

 

Now to go take photos showing motion and blur. Regarding online courses... it's nice to be able to listen to the videos a few times to really get what he's talking about. (and so I do it right the first time too...lol)
