Amused
The cats have different beds to sleep in, most of them quite fluffy, and a couple are like igloos, which might be quite warm now spring is here.
I have a laundry ‘basket’, a tube of material with round ends, and a slit at one end you put your laundry into. It has a spiral wire spring, so if you undo two toggles that hold it flat it springs up to a cylinder a couple of feet in height.
I don’t use it much because it’s a bit cumbersome to carry when it’s full. But last night inspiration struck. I undid one of the toggles and one side opened up, so it was at 90° to the base. The slit was at the front so a cat might get in… I also put a cloth shopping bag inside because the wires would be uncomfortable to lie on… This morning? A little nose peeking out. It must be like a tent for my cat, and it will not be as hot to sleep in… Successful experiment I’d say…. Plus when not in use I can fasten the toggle and put it away…
Atoms?
Atoms surge
Vibrate and link
Molecules appear
Crystals, compounds
Quanta of energy
Scrambled electrons
Muons and Gluons
Barely existing.
Tiny and powerful
Forces pulling
and pushing
Making, creating
And destroying
Conservation
Of energy
Universal
Tweet bird
Drew over yesterday’s monster to create something else. A little parrot or budgie? If I don’t do anything else artistic I’m still doing doodles. Still using Artrage app to draw interesting images. It’s just an imaginary bird. Tomorrow is a new day, perhaps I can do something more than a sketch. X
Manipulated images
Both these images started out the same. One I adjusted to add texture. The other I used a mozaic, fisheye and inverting tool. It’s fun to digitally finger paint. I need to get my PC working so I can do something more complex and finely manipulated. I’m learning all the time.
Stylised
I’m having fun digitally altering that old painting. It’s given me an idea of what I might do to it. One thing about digital manipulation is that you get a regular pattern across the whole piece. It looks much more modern. I may do thus in reality.
Doodle to face
I decided to play with my latest doodle, I used a sketching app to add the facial details, then photodirector to smooth out the rough edges. I do like to experiment with analogue and digital images.
Frog
A friend gave us a frog
Ceramic and cold
Eggs or snails it holds
In its mouth.
Halfway up the willow
Crawling and hopping
But static.
I, startled
Backed away…
Then realised my hubby
Had placed it there
For amusement!
Strikes
Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was strikes. Here I am again with a sideways idea. Strike a rock with a hammer and you might find an ammonite or another fossil within it. I have been to Lyme Regis and cliffs near Whitby and found fossils there…
Glasses and chalices?
Glasses and chalices,
Like mushrooms
Growing in the cupboard
I like the curves
Transparent and opaque
Grouped together
In the right place.
Come out at Christmas
Easter too
To have a drink
Of some old home brew!
