I've joined a new flickr group - it's *gulp* a 365 project. One photograph a day for the whole year. I'm sure you don't need the concept explaining, the italics are more my own incredulity. I am both excited and terrified, but I really want improve my photography and the challenge (and discipline) of making one beautiful image a day really appeals.
Oh! And so now would be a perfect time to tell you that I did get a DSLR. It's a new (to me) Canon EOS 300D with a 18-55mm lens.
I've yet to read the manual, but I will. I will, and I will unlock the secret language of RAW and just generally become really good and whizzy at photography. But hopefully not at the expense of everything else. Hmmm.
So here's days 1, 2 and 3 - let me know what you think! Or even better, join in! Come on, join in!
You can look here if you want to know any more about any of the photographs.
Well, I was going to start this blog in the new year, but I have been making lots of things and photographing them so I thought I may as well get on with it!
I haven't managed to keep a diary this year at all, despite having a very handsome one in my Christmas stocking last year. I thought this blog might be a good way of diarising the forthcoming year. And hey, no one even knows I'm here yet...
So, secret diary, I really like making things. Yesterday I made some lavender bags to give as gifts - three in the shape of Babushka dolls pictured here, the others (not shown) were a pair of pears and a sequined shelled snail. I sewed them by hand, and they are all a little bit wonky, but that is the nature of (my) handmade work. I try not to mind too much, although I do strive for perfection. Sigh.
