Wow Week 4, and we are right at the backdoor of Christmas, but that's not stopping me. I know I'll pick up my phone and capture a photo here and there over the next week, but be warned, there may or may not be a lot of food photos for the next few days as I have 2 birthdays, Christmas and Boxing Day to indulge in, so watch for those. You never know, it may be the starting of a beautiful Still Life!
I am loving this journal creating, I can already see lots of inspiration for quilts in 2025. Let's jump to this week's collection of photos....
My week 4 photos
Day 1: Pink dahlia in my daughter's garden in Canterbury
Day 2: It is very dry in Canterbury as you can see by the brown grass, but the wire fence gives me a quilting idea.
Day 3: My grandson was making candles for a market, look at this cool pinecone candle!
Day 4: Here is the water race, this flows year round to supply needed water to farmers. You can see how the grass is green directly next to it. This is right next to where I took the wire fence photo above.
Day 5: As I'm taking my granddaughters for a walk, I took this photo looking down on the side of the road. I like the idea of having a large area on the left and small particles on the right - of course you could flip that or rotate it too. The concept is a great quilt layout idea.
Day 6: Today we have lots of grey sky with a forecast of much needed rain. I love the way the green fir tree has great contrast against the sky.
Day 7: A good dose of rain sees a beautiful poppy appear along the wooden fence.
Sketches and/or Notes
I choose the pinecone candle to draw, but there are a number of others I have ideas for too. However, I love the shape of the pinecone. It could be used for applique or quilting, or it would also make an interesting still life piece.
What a fun week as I transition to a new location for the holidays. It is definitely a different look. Remember, it's never too late to start this challenge.... Instructions for our Photo Challenge
