My favourite rose in my garden. Every bloom is a different shade of color… it is just divine!
This macro was done using the reverse lens technique.. Amazing! I can’t believe it worked!!
As Paul would say.. Something outside the square!! ;-) ~Just for the record.. this is pretty much straight out of the camera! :) No manipulation!

Kind of makes you feel special :)
Grand Ma passed away six months ago it seems like yesterday. / She wanted to live to be one hundred she was just a year away. / I loved to visit with Grand Ma to me she seemed so young. / She had away about her that made time drift away. / She told me silly stories about when she was real young and men wore hats and courted her from a long long time past. / She talked about what it was like to be young way back then. / When simple things like a summers swim or riding on a bike would make conversation last long in to the night. / And an auto was a rich mans toy that really brought strange smiles. / She told me all the stories about how they use to dance. / And put on all their fancy things to maybe find romance and a man would come and take a bow an asked her for a dance ! / The hand was all that ever touched but that was strong enough! / And then when the Charlston came to town the people went real wild! / She talked about the first war and what it did to everyone, hiding in the basement crying as bombs fell all around! / She said that was a living hell! / And then she talked about the second one and running from the Russians in to the arms of the USA that was for her a blessing! / But of both she was afraid! / She liked it back in the days when men wore hat’s and dressed real nice not like these kids today! / She looked at me and said poor thing these times are really crazy!! / You’ll never understand the life we lived back not too long ago. / How reading by a fire made a spooky story oh so frighting! Not like sitting at the TV as your brain cells fall to sleep! / She talked about all the things she did with her three dead sisters. / And the one thing she loved the most was planting roses. / She talked about the fun she had and the laughter they all shared in the German Black Forest planting all types of roses. / She told me that the rose to her was the strongest of the flowers! / Because it learned over many long years how to protect its beauty! / She said a thorn was there to keep a man fingers from the attack! / And that the Rose to her was every woman’s sweet young heart usually broken by a man! / She said until a man took extra care to gently take the rose, he would be forever bitten by that neckless that she wore! / Grand Ma’s house was full of roses and that was her special bloom! / Not one time did I come by was a rose not in full view! / So there I was in my Kitchen looking at this rose today, and then it looked right back at me oh God I said no way! / It scared me half to death! / And right then and there I knew exactly who was looking straight at me!

You know who you are. / You always know who you are. I have dearingly treasured this rare light I always find in you. / Thought it time to tell you so.

You know who you are. / You always know who you are. Nikon D60~18/55 / 2008.
Mullo (Muli: female, Mulo: male) is an undead, revenant, or vampire of gypsy (Roma) folklore. ‘Mullo’ means ‘one who is dead’. A dead person would return and do bad things and/or feed on the blood of a living person. Perhaps a tattoo design? I wanted something purely black and white. Something that represents an aspect of the vampire, vampyre. 8×10.5 / Sharpie.

The Queen of Hearts. This is for the entry in the Victoriandustrial challenge “Your Fellow Bubbler”...we had to draw a fellow group member. I chose Vicki Yeager When I was sketching out her portrait I had no idea what I wanted to do with it…to Victoriandustrialize, or vickydust her. But I was looking through some tattoo reference photos and saw the roses and thorns…and it came to me. Paint the roses red…the Queen of Hearts. Then I went to Vicki’s profile and read her blurb and saw unicorn. Drew that up and made it a bit like a cameo. I am very very happy with how this came out. 9×12 / Ink.

This is a VERY old drawing of mine done about my grandmother Rose back when I was still in my BIG EYES phase. (Although in fairness, Rose had very big brown eyes herself – quite lovely.) So I exaggerate! After I had this framed, she was over one day and actually made the trip up my stairs into my studio to see this a few years before she died. She never knew what to make of my work so it was especially interesting to see her reaction to this. C: “Grandma, I drew this about you and your sisters.” R: “Hmm…I don’t understand it.” C: “Well, you, of course, are at the center and your sisters are each of the roses around you. Because you have such different relationships with each, I tried to represent that. Anna, (who is deaf), is at the top left in the closed rose. The sisters that you fight with have a few extra thorns on them. Josephine is the fully opened one because you get along best with her. And YOU – well, you – have great mystery so that’s all I can show are your eyes and the darkness.” R: “Cynthi, (long pause) show this to your aunties.” I laughed to myself silently. And that was that. (I guess she liked it.) / I knew Rose would leave us with many untold stories and confessions, (and I was right). You can see the original framed on the far left in this shot: / In my Clothing section: /
