Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
making a cast? it has a weird texture....
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie,
DeleteYes, and yes! We very successfully made a cast of our hands entwined, so husband Gary wanted to give his face a go - perfectly normal thing to do in your kitchen on a Tuesday afternoon? But we made the mistake of ordering the alginate off the internet, rather than going back to our usual art supplies store, and it was very odd stuff indeed! More like bad porridge than anything, and didn't set terribly well. Still, we (daughter Rebecca and I) had great fun trying ...... and I'd like to say it kept Gary quiet for 10 minutes, but it really didn't!!!
By the way Kylie, where/what is your blog? I'd love to drop by and have a look or a read sometime.
Hope you're well.
