Recap

I just realized I was a few days behind on a few things. It’s a good weekend to catch up and get back in step.

Photography Journey Day 28 & 29 Recap – 11/29/24

I started this last night and fell asleep. New shooting has been limited but progress is good on the editing and uploading front.

I’m going to brave the cold temps today and try to get some new images. Concentrating on some of the early Xmas decorations so I can start the month of December off with some seasonal spirit. I found a map of some homes in the county with light displays.

I’ve got to finish a few pieces that I’ve been lingering on in the workroom. Mostly for the family so I really should complete those. This one below is just a freehand cut I did from this shell as an example. I haven’t decided how to use them yet. They are pretty good size. The shell is 6.5 inches long and the board I cut is 11.5 inches long.

I thought about burning the wood a bit which gives an effect I’ve seen look interesting. But the grain of the wood seems to match the shell’s flow, and I might emphasize that. I should have taken a shot without the shell on top.

I’ve started carvings of two other shells, much more detailed but also decent sizes. But today I will try to finish a Dolphin and Horse for my granddaughter.
