Day 21 – Crafts
I think these are the most adorable flowers. I love the simple look of them. I had to snap a shot while I was shopping tonight. Check out my other photographs these places: http://instagram.com/onthehunt365 http://onthehunt365.blogspot.com http://www.pinterest.com/elusiveblue/on-the-hunt-365/

Day 17 – Blue
I was so excited this afternoon when I found my new ring light waiting for me on the front porch (thank you Amazon). So today’s photo session was a string of still life, mostly just dolls and trinkets and things.

Day 12: late > never
A bit late, but I should be able to catch up later for Day #13. So this one is a bit better background and shade wise… I still need to work out how to add the details for

Day 9: Floral, 1st attempt
Ouchers… this was hard. I tend to be very controlled with my drawings and paintings and I wanted to try something a bit more… freestyle? I think I got it OK for the flowers but the leaves/greens need A LOT

Carving AND Cutting Day 10
Flower themed again. I drew some flowers and scanned ’em in. My magical machine has saved them and will be able to draw them for me in any size (well, when I buy the pens that fit it will!) I

Day 8: Duct Tape Flower
I would have made this flower even bigger, but I ran into problems with the tape not sticking very well because it is old and there’s dog fuzz everywhere.

Day 24-25: Flowers and flowers

Day Fifteen…
I was away at a polymer clay conference and didn’t have access to my computer (I was unable to upload pictures to my tablet–oh well). I did make something every day, so I’m posting them all today. First up:

Day 15: Different Flower Variation
This flower is a variation on the one from yesterday. I made the loops for the petals bigger on this one. I like this one better than the other one.

It’s spring, Charlie!
It was such a nice day today I planned to try a very long walk with Charlie to the Baltimore Museum of Art. It just was too far to go (and walk back!) so we ended up turning and

Day 14: Different Crocheted Flower
I absent-mindedly made another flower while watching TV today. It’s a bit rough and I don’t really like it all that much. Ah well.

Day 12: More flowers
Busy day today, so didn’t have a ton of time for making stuff. So just made another small pile of flowers. Going to try to do something else tomorrow, just for a change of pace.

Day 9: Paper Flowers
Had my M.O.H. over tonight to watch movies and make paper flowers with me. Got a fair amount done. I think it’ll go faster in the future if I get more glue for my glue gun. Spent a lot of

Day 8: Test Paper Flowers
Testing out a pattern for paper flowers. Thinking about doing a little three flower arrangement attached to some ribbon for pew decorations. Didn’t want to potentially waste my good paper, if I messed up so I just made these using

Day 4: Paper Flower
I used to make paper flowers when I was little and it appears that I have forgotten how to do it. The ones I used to make were far less twisty.

Cut Flowers
Today I have had my (nearly) two year old granddaughter to stay so it has been a bit challenging to find the opportunity to get any ‘thing’ done. While she was distracted watching Mickey Mouse I had a go at

My nine-year-old neighbor Ariel came over today and helped me make a bouquet of pipe cleaner flowers. My cat Rex also “helped.”

Day 1: Flower Columns
Hey, it’s another Thing-A-Day! Let’s see if I can go the whole month, like I did last year. Today’s thing is a painting that I don’t particularly like. I was trying to play around with negative space, but with all

4 & 5: hats
I found three plain black felt hats on the clearance rack at an Urban Outfitters. I have embellished two of them for things number 4 and 5. Maybe the third hat will be number 6. Number 4 has wool flowers:

TAD 2
Here’s what I learned today. Using the “good” paper is even harder than the cheap newsprint. You have to move faster and yet be very controlled, or else it bleeds – a lot! After an hour of practicing the movements
