in the beginning.......

ack!

I cannot figure out what is wrong with my camera- thought it was the batteries, but......it isn’t

it was the only one of my cameras that I can take close-ups with......as you’ll see from the photos below from another camera - completely blurry

I tried to take other photos of the postcard and goodies I received from Lorna - but they were so hideously blurry, I couldn’t put them in, so......will retake some photos as soon as I figure out what is going on

the below photos are my start for the new piece (is there another word I can use? am so tired of “piece”; plus, I always misspell it and have to go back and switch out the e and i........EVERY time!!)

uh.......where was I?

oh yes - so.......this is the start of my backgrounds - thought I’d try working on two at once and see what happens

I am also thinking of adding a rook, since this show is in aid of the “Rooks” team

not quite sure how......I have a very vague, fuzzy image somewhere up in the back of my head.....little bit to the left - but when I try to focus on it to see what I should do - it fades away

we’ll see how these take shape.......so far I have used some foreign language newspapers layered with maps, tissue and cigarette papers - I hope once it all dries I will be able to see through the layers enough - but not too much

thanks for stopping by.....
