Months ago I entered some photos in a contest to have them picked for a local coffee table type book of photography. Just thought of it a few minutes ago and looked it up to see who won. I did! So to copy Doc Creed format about his quiz on SK books yesterday. Which do you think should have won, in order of numbers. (I think they picked the worst one, and wondered what you all thought). Thanks :smile:
#1 Snow,branch and pine con
#2 pink rose
#3 Purple flowers

Wow, Sandra, they are all exquisite but I would actually number them in the exact order you listed them. That pinecone photo is beautiful. I admire your artistic instincts.

Thanks Doc,I consider them lucky shots. There are so many beautiful spots in this province, it seems like endless picture taking some days. Most of the flower pictures are taken when I walk downtown. I have to use my regular camera because I still do not know how to download the pictures I have on my cellphone.

Will be going to the PEN gala in May and wanted a wrap to go with my LBD. Have thought about trying nuno felting for a while now so this was my excuse to make a nuno felt wrap as I didn't want to spend a lot for something I may not use that much. I still plan to sew a decorative edge all around and then trim the excess felt. It's usually left as is with the raw edge but I thought it wouldn't be fancy enough for this type of event. Here are pics of the process and the almost finished piece. It started with a piece of silk chiffon for the base and looks almost furry with the wool roving before it's felted. :smile2:

Nope, no suspense :smile:

#4 The Creek won and it goes on the front of the book and somewhere inside too. #2 Pink Rose and #1 Pinecone was given 'honourable mention (whatever that is) and both will be somewhere in the book. #3 Purple, I disqualified it myself. I had taken that in Vancouver and only local pictures could be submitted. Not sure what all of you see in #4, I think it is the worst of all of them, I am missing something when I look at it I guess. Thanks for your opinions, ALL are appreciated. May re think making up some note cards to sell....

Another one who sees something I am not. That's great about Tracy, does she still like photography? Would like to see some pictures :smile:
....she has been a photo buff for as long as I can remember, but lately has fallen out of the habit because of family obligations and such...pics wise.....let me see....
