This week's prompt was to work with diagonal lines that lead the eye to infinity. It was not an easy task. I went out shortly after we got the prompt. We had just had several inches of snow (again!) and I was hoping to find a good fence to photograph. I found one, but couldn't position myself so the line would go into the negative space. My favorite shot from this outing uses the shadows rather than the fence to lead your eye through the photo.
Nonetheless the diagonal is not a strong one, so yesterday I drove up to Charlotte Beach to take a photo of the pier. It's closed to pedestrians now, but I was able to get a couple of decent shots from the beach. (Let me say, however, it was really cold out there!) This one is the best for the diagonal line.
But the next photo shows the waves caused by the stiff breeze that made it so cold.
And here are a couple of shots from the archives.
Yesterday I found a tutorial on making the paper medallions I see so frequently. So this morning, rather than just bookmark it (and forget it) I decided to try it. I just got a 6X6 paper pad called Hello Luscious which I used for both the medallion and the mat on the card. I like the card, but it would be nearly impossible to send through the mail (and I think too thick for a scrapbook page as well.) Fortunately I have a friend who will get this card hand delivered on her birthday in May.
