Monthly Art Prompts - May 2023

Thanks so much, Terri! And speaking of softness, I intend to try zoneplate - another lensless technique - photography one of these days. I've been lazy on the photography front these days :-(
Me too! My husband has been busy for both of us, at least. He's been buying old Bakelite cameras, Kodak Bullseye and Hawkeyes, plus more "modern" ones like the Argus, and is having a blast restoring them and shooting them.

Me, I tag along on some of the shoots and that's about it. I've spent most of the spring trying to get a garden going in the new house. My artistic brain cells have apparently been sidelined for now. ;) I'm okay with it - and the back yard looks a lot better.

Zoneplate is something I've never tried, either!

This is a piece of sedimentary slate from the beaches of lake Champlain, New York.

About 2 inches or 5 centimeters. I incised the design with a power carving tool with a small diamond bit. Filled in with acrylic paint and finished with a sealer. Small red seed beads for the eyes. My wife used to make beaded jewelry to sell at craft shows and farmers markets. I made these amulets with leather cords as something different for her inventory mix.

Thanks CaliAnn. Love pastels.

Alabama, cool. Love the yellow painting.

Anne, thank you. Beautiful rose, not so easy to do.

Zen love your yellow. Cool idea for the beads.
