yesterday, last thing as I left the studio I went to the creek to see if I could see the platypus. I didnt see her/him although I did film the turbo chooks as they swam across the creek ! first time I have seen that and as I was watching to see what they may do, having reached the bank on the other side, I dropped my phone in the water. aaaargh ... (a momentary lapse in concentration).
I cannot even retrieve it because that part of the creek is about 4m down from the top of a steep bank. I went to look this morning but I cant see it in the water as there is very little light on the water at that particular point. And now, no video of the turbo chooks swimming!
It is midday right now and I must admit I am feeling a little 'all at sea' - I used my phone to stay in touch with V who is out and about with car rentals and he only does old fashioned kinda phone thing and no fb or messenger, etc.
I do have my iPad so took a few photos this morning using that (as far from the edge of the creek as I could be) !
Tis true I have been occasionally 'mentioning' in my videos that I am in need of an Iphone as my phone was a Pixel2. Considering we are now up to Pixel7 that tells you how old it was - however it had a great camera on it and worked fine !
So, for now, back into sorting through my reject pile to gesso before an afternoon of painting.
just added this one to the 'learn with me' page
There is a huge amount of gum trees here and i have spent this first year collecting the most amazing leave in a variety of shapes, colours and varying stages of decay.
This video touches on this idea of stitching found leaves onto handmade paper - ideas of works in progress ...
I often begin with 'what if' ... and end up with 'what now'?
I put it onto the 'learn with me' page here. Slowly over time this section will build up - as i continue on this blogging journey.
Beautiful leaves Gina and I love what you've done with the stitching around them.
