  • 10 Day countdown, Cover Debut and Contest!

    {drumroll} For the 10 day countdown to the release of Resin Jewelry, 2nd Edition, I’ve decided to do 2 fun things. Show off the new cover! That flower is called a ‘Painted Tongue’, isn’t that awful? It’s also known as a Velvet Trumpet Flower and that’s the name I shall stick with. The bezel is handmade…

  • The Brooklyn General Store and Lovely Discoveries

    Before I dive back into book and resin related goodies I’ve got to show off the little bit of fiber touring I did while I was there. The Brooklyn General Store doesn’t sound like a yarn shop, does it? I suppose because, strictly speaking, it isn’t. Nestled on a quiet street in a residential area…

  • New York City II

  • Mini-Getaway to NYC

    Last weekend, Tito and I took a quick (and desperately needed) getaway trip to visit my cousins in New York City. We needed a break, for the end of the summer, and also I really needed to step away from the book. My editor had it for the weekend, so that seemed like the right…

  • Interludes – The CNE

    Every year, for about 7 years now, Tito and I have had a tradition of going to the CNE on a work night. Some years we went on every single ride, some years we brought heavy DSLR cameras, and some years we brought heavy DSL cameras … on rides ;) There were also quiet  years where…

  • San Francisco and Fibre Stop 4 – Imagiknit

    San Francisco is very awesome. We were sorry that we only had one day to explore it – and we decided (we’re not sorry about this bit) to leave the big cameras checked at the hotel rather than carry them with us. I couldn’t resist having a bit of fun with the hills. Everything we…

  • The Avenue of Giants

    Water and rocks may be where my heart is, but Tito loves giant trees, so a trip along the 101 Coastal highway would not be complete without a visit to see the giant redwood forests. We stopped at the roadside attraction ‘Trees of Mystery’ with its giant Paul Bunyan statue and bizarre tree formations, then…

  • Bandon Beach

    Bandon Beach was one of those places that was high on the list for Oregon; I’d seen photos of the amazing rock formations and was really looking forward to shooting there, especially during the dusk, and at nighttime, where I was hoping for great sunsets and stars with low light pollution. Unfortunately that wasn’t to…

  • Sunset Yachats

    Just a few shots of the sunset in a small coastal town called Yachats. Yachats is off the 100, just north of Cape Perpetua, and it’s where we stayed while we were shooting Thor’s Well. The colours in these shots are straight out of the camera. I am using my Lee Filter system with a…

  • Bullards Beach OR

    I was going to bundle these pics in with the photos of Bandon Beach, but when I looked them over I realized they deserved their own post-the landscape is so very different. Bullards Beach is an area that we passed through while looking for Bandon Beach. It’s white and sandy and sunny and that’s where all…
