This guy was pretty cool, sitting there minding his own business, and I just had to get the shot. But as I lifted the camera and looked through the lens he just broke into this mean stare into the lens like he was gonna hurt me. I saw it and quickly pressed the shutter. Later I complimented him on his tattoos and showed him the shot and it was then that his frown turned into a broad grin…phew!
A single fairy with teensy water drops :) I squirted my dandelion seeds with water from a syringe with needle, and some really tiny drops caught on the fallen fairys. I chose this single fairy to focus on, as it was easy to isolate it away from the rest. I simply used my son Levi’s blue cap as the background. The dark bit at the top is a shadow. I used natural lighting….... by the window in my kitchen. Hand held. Nothing fancy done during post processing. Full view please!

Water beads on a glass patio table. / /
Rain drops on a window, forming a beaded-curtain effect with golden out-of-focus orbs from the patio outside. I had my camera with me while in a cafe with my daughter and my sister, and I spotted the raindrops … then those golden orbs appeared in the viewfinder too. A lucky bonus! / . / I’m delighted that this photo has been featured on RedBubble’s front page - / . / / .
A compilation of photography and illustration for something new and fun. This photo was turned into an advertisement for a condom company.
He stole the heart (the strongest one) / The one with wings that would have flown. He stole the heart (before it grew) / No note the harm deceit would do. He stole the heart (and sad to say) / Filleted its soul with fork and knife. He stole the heart (the one with wings) / But stronger souls can trump a King. Actual artwork is 12” x 12”. Mixed media mosaic, framed in 2” deep, distressed brown solid wood shadow box that can be opened. My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use leather, brass and silver charms and hundreds of Czech and Japanese bugle beads.
Acrylic on masonite board.
Green beads
the “Je suis” paintings: first the outline is stitched onto the canvas, then I stretch the canvas and paint…this background is gold pigment in Japanese size, with Gold Leaf / then i hand bead a lot of the patterning onto the canvas. The hair is made from wools with beading etc.Shoes are all hand beaded. They’re very tactile, 3D and lluscious.
Day #65 of my 365 days project – a self-portrait a day for a year.
“I believe that in our dreams our hearts are healed.” The cool blue color palette gives this piece a peaceful, meditative feeling. Actual artwork is 11” x 11”, Mixed media mosaic, framed in 2” deep, white lacquered solid wood shadow box that can be opened. Dreams Heal is hand-beaded using vintage Swarovski crystals, ceramics, brass embellishments, glass beads, rhinestones and hundreds of Czech bugle beads.
An homage to my hometown, Pacific Beach California, and to the mother of my soul, the awesome Pacific Ocean. Emerald green was my mother’s favorite color so I chose a green heart.

Arcylic painting with mixed media. This idea was taken from my young childhood days sketchbook . / Sometimes i used to go in a big field, away from it all.. / with my skecthbook and paints, looking up at the sun, to me the sun’s rays used to look like all these sparkling, and dazzling rays, coming towards me. With the fields and corn everywhere, i used to see patterns and images , as the breeze blew them into this and that shape, or is it, and always be, the fact i just have a creative head with illusions in me, .............. don’t know, will anyone ever understand how i see things….......
