fall colors
we went out (a little late this year) to try and capture the beauty of the fall colors. a lot of the leaves are already on the ground, but there are some beautiful golds and yellows to be seen. i got some scenic views that i really liked but wanted to capture some of the reds and burgundies that you can only see close up. so today’s pictures are of roses. not the flowers that you normally see in pictures, but rosehips and leaves. hope you enjoy them as much as i did.
first we see a rosehip glowing in the afternoon sun
stepping back a bit the leaves begin to come into view.
who needs maples when a rose has this much color?
the leaves deserve their share of the spotlight.
pukifee swap
noni is happily modeling a mix and match set of clothes i made for a swap.
the hat is a very bright pink mohair that was hard to capture on film. it matches much better in real life. the ribbon is hand dyed silk, the skirt is cotton and the t-shirt a cute cotton knit print i found. she is also wearing the the short leggings n this photo but you can’t see them.
so here they are.
a sundress and longer leggings, which i apparently forgot to photograph before sending them off. the are turquoise blue with darker blue/purple dots
and if she is chilly, the t-shirt can be reversed to make a short jacket.
funky crocheted hats
i’ve been busy making crocheted hats for the little ones. they might need to wear warm hats as the weather cools, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring. we took a short trip to banff to see the fall colors and 4 of the kids came with me to show off some prototypes for a new line of hats i’m making
crystalorn loved the frog prince hat and said “its a frog princess!”
amberglas pretended to be a swamp creature rising out of the marsh
when they quit giggling long enough the girls posed for this shot.
then they climbed up with kiri so i could take a picture of all the girls, i think crystalorn was getting tired, ’cause she was getting really snuggly with her big sister
digory like the muppet style hat but didn’t want to be in a photograph with the “girls”. he says quinn needs a hat so the boys can hang out instead.
btw kiri and amber’s lovely new hoodies are from spampy’s stuff
seed head
many flowers tend to look bedraggled after the blooms are spent, but this one has a most intriguing seed head.
tickled pink
subalpine spiraea
hollyhock
twinflower, tiny little flowers shaped like fairy bells
indian paintbrush 2
back from holidays with tons more flower pictures. if i’m not careful this will change to cailyn’s flower blog 😆
fun with photoshop
i was editing some of my shops and started fooling around with some of the editing tools. i got a couple of pictures that i thought were kind of neat.
here is one of crystalorn posterized
and one of amberglas turned into a painting
now if only i could paint that well!
