This tells you I will post examples with different ISO settings but I haven’t managed to do that yet so expect that really soon (as well as the shutter speed example I mentioned last week.)
Feel free to let me know if anything is unclear or if you have questions. Next week is shutter speed. I am still planning on writing these up, please bear with me if you can’t watch YouTube videos.
Photography Tips is a weekly feature and is posted every Friday. You can find all of them here.
Aurelia decided he wanted to help me work. Actually it’s been a rough day. I am tired and worn out today and so is Aurelia. He didn’t take his naps well and he’s just frustrated which makes me frustrated and it’s a vicious cycle from there on out. Here’s to a better tomorrow.
This was easy for me. Making these tags brings me so much joy lately that I wanted to celebrate them. Celebrate art. It’s such a joy to have the luxury to create art.
I’ve been stuck on fabric lately. Took a bunch of my favorite ones cut little squares, glued, stitched, added a few jewels and metal joys, punched a few eyelets with twine in them and here we are.
I now sell some of these tags in my etsy store. If there’s a tag you like and are interested in, email me or leave a comment and I’ll be happy to add it.
I am combining Emily Falconbridge’s art journal questions with trying a new technique each week. You can see the full list: here.

Aurelia’s been grabbing at and playing with everything and anything. I don’t think he’s going to be anything like David. He will shove everything into his mouth.
But I love him anyway!
I can’t believe September is over already. I am not ready for October yet.
A flower from our zoo trip two weeks ago. Quite an interesting one.
And here’s today’s Aurelia shot.
A quiet, uneventful day today with not much accomplished. But I did make a new tag (coming Thursday) and did a lot of work. I just wish I could focus better…
Today’s video is on how to resize a photo. It shows several ways and talks a little bit about resolution. Hope you like it.

i thought about this one for a long time. i wanted to make it about someone different. I’d already made so many of these about him. it was getting rather ridiculous but anyone else would just be lie compared to him. he’s the one who’s with me night and day. crazy and sane. success and failure. the wonderfully amazing thing is, i managed to find someone who understands what i do and can support me intellectually. can push me. but also he gets me. he’s there for me when i go dark and become the worst part of me. he’s there when i win and i want to celebrate. he’s not jealous, he’s not scared, he’s not angry. he’s always there. with those arms that wrap around me and envelop me tightly make me feel secure and loved. so loved. how can i choose someone else when he’s the one? there’s no going around the truth. he’s the one.
btw, I got this wonderful idea of scattering the sequins from the amazing Gigi Kennedy. I just love its whimsicalness.
The greatest thing about the age in which we live, if you ask me, is video chat. Today, Jake, Aurelia, David and I got to chat with my sister, my mom, my nephews, my grandmothers, and my dad all at the same time. It was the most awesome, wonderful moments I’ve had in weeks. I just love that we can all see each other even though we’re miles and miles and oceans apart. So thankful for technology.
I had been waiting for today for weeks. For the last two months, I hated my hair. I hated touching it. Looking at it. I just hated everything about it. I hadn’t been able to dye it cause of the pregnancy and nursing but the doctor finally gave me the go-ahead and I needed this cut so badly. So today I finally went to the hair dresser and it was worth every single penny.
So please indulge me as I share a few photos of me and Aurelia.
This one was homework for the great Mondo Beyondo class I just finished. It’s important for me to remember this. I am not alone.
Don’t we both look so happy?
On Friday, I made this long, scary list of todo items for the weekend. I was so stressed just looking at it. And you know what? I did every single one of the items on my list!! Wee!!!
