This weeks prompt from Kim Klassen is 'organic.'
I'm on holiday from the UK in Cape Cod, so took a walk along Old Silver Beach, where we are staying this week and took some shots.
Luckily I had this blue linen scarf with me.......I like the way that the blue holds the little heart shaped stones and the shells and reflects the sky here at Falmouth ........
I'm officially excited to have found these fabulous photographs at a Cape Cod flea market today. I need to have a good look at them, but think that they may be of the same family, torn out of an album, which is sad. But I will put them to good use and they will be seen again....all in good time, and in the UK.
The coins are transportation coins, used on buses in the past.......
I usually bring too much journaling stuff with me on holiday......
This time, just this little stash......and only used the scissors and glue stick so far......in a small moleskine journal.
Couldn't resist bringing my new fine liners - but haven't used them much yet.......grungy old watercolours also taking a back seat........
Collaging in the USA.......
Have gone from international upbeat vibe Boston to small town America on Cape Cod in one day.......slow now......
Whenever I get my hands on a Vogue all I want to do is collage.........;-)
The Kim Klassen prompt this week is about family portraits..... Not the usual kind, but taking objects that describe or have the essence of a person and building an arrangement with them in mind.
We are now on holiday from the UK to Boston USA, on our way to Cape Cod......
So, not a great deal to work with! I just took these shots which describe my hubby.
We have come all the way to America, and I brought half a dozen books on my kindle.
Not for Paul, he like a proper book - even though it means carrying half a ton more luggage than he needs to! So here is a shot that describes him to a tee........the books in tow, with the ever present Guardian Cryptic crossword.......
In my studio today........using my lovely Rollerco press, making prints for the Northern Print Christmas exhibition (!)
Time for a bit of playing too....here are the results of the play.......Christmas pieces coming, but not quite yet!
The photo of the studio is going to Seth Apters blog thealteredpage.blogspot.com/
He's doing a piece on his blog about artists' studios in use, rather than in pristine condition.
