Photos and Friends

I'm totally buried in recording right now. And I'll not have a lot to show for all my time in the short term. You'll get more entries with new recordings fairly soon.

I thought I should at least post some new photos to get your opinions on. So at the bottom are six macro photos I took of flowers. I want to know which photo you'd most want to look at in large on your wall. I wanted to round it down to four as usual but this time the best I could do was six choices. Last week's winner was my shot - Autumn in the Lake District, UK.

Before you move on to the photos, the highest voted of which will end up as Etsy listings in a month or so, I'd like to mention some other friends of mine on Etsy and elsewhere.

These are people who I think do incredible creative work and have a distinct creative personality, something I'm continuing to strive for but do not always feel I yet possess. For this reason, as well as them being lovely people, I encourage you to take a look at their pages. These people are putting themselves and their work out their for the world to see, all by themselves - no mass advertising or promotion budgets - just good products, so show them some support and spread the word!

I've mentioned my lovely friends and appreciated supporters Megan and Janice before. So I won't repeat myself as I'm always writing too much. Just click on their names and you'll soon find your way to their work.


Here are some more I've not mentioned before.


Kerry Cole Fine Art - Card & Print Shoppe



Kerry has some very vintage-styled and emotively-driven work. I bought the post cards above and Kerry very kindly through in some extra cards. The next shot shows some of her card designs, although these ones are specifically gift tags.



And this last one is my favourite painting of hers, that she has incorporated into card form.




Sora Designs

I really like Wen's original approach to jewelry. The mix of colour with the metal has such an original and vibrant feel. Here are a few of my favourites. Quite bold and different. Unique and beautiful. A must-see/must-buy Etsy shop for any hip and individual jewelry lovers out there!








A Foodly Affair

My good friend Hannah is a very creative and original chef (specialising in raw and vegan), blogger, teacher, foodologist (I think this is the title), and healthy eating advocate, not to mention mother of 1.5 (she's expecting her 2nd). I've done a guest post on her blog this week so go check it out, make my recipe and tell me (and her) what you think. It's easy and healthy.

Here are a few other of my favourite out of her blog posts.

Vanilla/Chocolate Fudge Biscuits (YUM!)




B is for Beetroot




Watermelon Candy (and more)
