who knew feathers could be dramatic?

this scanagram thing is really fun. and it's super simple. just lay items on the scanner, leave it open and scan. leaving it open is what gives the dramatic black background. the fun is in arranging the items on the glass, just so. it's rather addictive. i love how the feathers turned out, especially the little dotty woodpecker ones. beautifully dramatic. perhaps something for our upcoming spring exhibition, where the theme is tæt på (close up)?

reindeer games

i took sticks and twigs and little bitty aspen cones and acorns and moss to the library today and turned anyone who wanted to loose making charming little twiggy reindeer. the materials from nature seemed to set everyone's imaginations alight and the idea expanded and became something even more than it was originally. young and old seemed to be happy and delighted to take their deer little deer with them.
