Early Saturday Start

3 Comments

Feeling the juice this morning. Decided to stay up late and tinker around with crafts and maybe a photo or two. I don’t have a studio but that isn’t going to stop me. Its time to challenge myself a bit.

Actually I was moving a box of shells to a smaller box and getting some out to use with some stones I’m etching on. I don’t have a huge collection but there are a few nice ones in there. I was starting to sort them when I just started laying a few out on paper. I guess I got a bit tired and started playing with designs using shells.

Well I played around with that for a few minutes and took a couple shots of the few designs I came up with.

An idea is born.

Should have worked on my lighting more. And also set them up on the floor instead of the table.

But it was late and I was lazy. At least I got some thoughts out on paper so to speak.

I wonder what my sister in-law would think of my floral designs?

She would probably say more color.

Random Thoughts of the Early Morning

I always get a bit loopy when I’m tired late at night. As opposed the nut that I am during the day.

Nothing like a little music to cheer you up. Well at least it works for me.

Option 1 – try to go to bed and struggle finding a comfortable position for hours. Option 2 – Stay up and try to find a comfortable position while working for a few more hours.
