Lens-Artists Challenge #190 – Close and Closer…

Posted on March 16, 2022 by mvobsession | Comments Off

Gay Head Lighthouse, Martha’s Vineyard from one side and walking around to the other side I looked closer and there was my daughter.

I didn’t realize that shown in the window behind the bike were my daughter and our friend until I looked closer.

Sailing home from Martha’s Vineyard if you look closer out the window of the ferry Island Home you can see West Chop lighthouse.

Not a fly on the wall but on a window of the Gay Head Lighthouse, Martha’s Vineyard.

RDP Wednesday – WOOL…

Posted on March 2, 2022 by mvobsession | Comments Off

From the shearing of the goats and sheep to the final product, this is the story of wool. My daughter and I went to our first shearing event several years ago and it was beyond interesting. The way the animals sort of zone out while they’re being sheard to the softness and warmth of the lanolin drenched wool fresh off the sheep and goats. The last picture is of sweater my daughter made.

The shearing…

RDP Monday: SPATTER…

I love this picture of Mickey Mouse seeing himself as Walt Disney in his version of the Norman Rockwell self portrait. I did this in counted cross stitch and when it came time to have it framed there was no question in my mind that this frame spattered with paint was perfect. It’s still one of my favorite cross stitches.
