Something
new…
Some
of you may know, I enjoy a number of different artistic endeavours besides
making jewelry. I’ve taken a few courses
in painting & drawing, which I never seemed to catch on very well, at least
in my mind I didn’t…the paintings were not fluid or natural…I can draw a mouth,
nose and eyes individually but trying to put them together as a face was
awful…trust me you would think so as well!
I know practice makes perfect,
but frustration takes away the want to practice!
I crocheted and knit many years ago…did nicely
there, made many sweaters, shawls, mitts etc., but moved on from that.
One
challenge I’ve had for the last 7 years has been taking photos of my
jewelry…that has always been a trying task for me…the photo was never sparkly,
or shiny enough or it was too dark or too bright… too something, you get the
picture….but…I find I enjoy taking photos of many other things, especially
nature, in particular water, sunsets and trees… sunsets never cease to amaze
me! I love the look of trees in the
fall/winter with all their leaves gone…”naked trees”…the silhouettes are
beautiful! My new year’s wish for you is
done on one of my silhouette photos with of course some interesting
manipulation done to the photo…

I
will be including photos in my baytoday.ca articles from time to time…I hope
you enjoy them! If you are interested in
seeing more my site is www.heathercote.com
For
many this is a time of reflection, resolutions and expectations…for others it
is a time for family and friends, whether at a small or large gathering! I’m sure we all wish for more kindness,
generosity and hope…
Whatever you choose, however you celebrate…all
the best to you and yours in the coming year!
Happy New Years!
Cheers
