Week 8 Black and White 365 Challenge

50 Steep stairs

51 Workshop shelving

52 Fallen toy soldiers

53 Gloves

54 Stairs

55 Wire netting

56 Barbering

Another rainy week so I spent it mostly back in the workshop again. 

The highlight of my week was when my husband and I went in as models for my son in his barbering course. That was a lot of fun. The barbering photo was shot with my cell phone (a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime) as I didn't take my camera out with me that day. All the rest were shot with my camera as usual.

I'm going to be taking a little break from shooting for a week or two while I have other house related projects going on. There just aren't enough daylight hours in the day at the moment, especially as it's winter here. 

Have a great week :)

Week 7 Black and White 365 Challenge

43 Basket weave

44 Camelia flower

This bush was severely pruned (practically to a stump) by the previous owners of our house. It's started to regrow in the couple of years we've lived here and this year we have been rewarded with

some lovely pale pink flowers.

45 Homegrown Feijoas and some Passionfruit a friend grew.

46 Toolbox.

47 Industrial light fitting

48 Three phase powerpoint

49 Saw blade

This week the weather was cold and rainy and miserable so I spent some time in my husband's workshop looking for inspiration.

Have a great week :)

Week 43 of 365 Challenge Tools Week

This week was tools week and rather than visit the garage toolbox for inspiration I decided to think a little bit about the other kinds of tools we use in our day to day and creative lives.

So, in my art toolbox this week was my paintbrushes and colored pencils. I consider these both to be vital tools in my art supply collection. Both for journaling and for use on stand alone pieces.

  

In my photography toolbox were my camera and my laptop computer. These tools are used most days, usually as a team. Although I can lose time with just the computer if I'm not careful.

I have to say that my mobile phone has become a much used personal tool both as a phone and sometimes as a camera when I don't have my Olympus with me.

That leaves my calculator which I prefer to use over the calculator app on my mobile when I'm paying bills and things. The mobile going to sleep half way through things irritates me.

Lucky last is my fire extinguisher. So far I haven't needed to use this tool but I like knowing that it's handy in case the need arises.

Next week is Fantasy week. So think aliens, dragons, fairies etc. Should be fun :)

Have a great week!
