Photo A Day Sept 1 - 5

Another month has begun, and another Photoaday challenge has also started, thanks to FatMumSlim. I have jumped on board again this month, and I also managed to drag a few of my buddies along with me. A couple of my friends in America have been inspired to join in, as well as a lovely lady from Germany. I love that such a simple idea is helping us creative types find another outlet for our talents.

So here are my first images for September!

Day 1 - You, now. I look tired!

Day 2 - Father. September 2nd was Father's Day here in Australia, and this is what Father's Day looks like in our house... 5 kids.. one dad... muhahahaha.
On a sad note, this was the first Father's Day since my gpa died. A hard day for my Mum.

Day 3 - Far Away. The view from our backyard.. pretty awesome how far you can see on a fine day.

Day 4 - In Your Mailbox. This is what was in our mailbox.... no letters, no bills.. just catalogues!

Day 5 - Bright. This was one of the only bright spots in the sky today. It was cold, wet and windy.

Off to a great start I would say. Cannot wait to see what the rest of the month brings.

Sunday Shopping Spree - June 12th 2011

Next Sunday is Father's Day for some of the world (Australia celebrates this in September), so in the spirit of this my Sunday Shopping Spree post (yes, it went on hiatus) is about a Father, who is also an artisan.

Chris Newcomb is a father of three, IT guy and all around nice fellow who happens to work with wood, and polymer clay, and acrylic. I first met Chris via Plurk (yes, it really is evil and addicting) and then he joined the Smooshers. He had begun to combine his scrollsawing skills with polymer clay to create some really unique items. In recent times he has turned to lathing, creating gorgeous pens, nib holders, seam rippers, razors and other items using wood and acrylic.
So let's go window shopping in his studio on ArtFire - C. Newcomb's Woodworking.

You can see lots more at C. Newcomb's Woodworking on ArtFire. And to all the Dads out there - have a great day next Sunday.
