Photo Blog - and trees... #iphoneography

See the full gallery on Posterous

Over on my website six weeks ago, I started an iPhoneography challenge. I want to try and post a photo every week for 52 weeks.
Some weeks, there may be an old photo given a new treatment because of my Fibro body, my hope being that a little flexibility will help me to achieve the challenge. I need to feel like I can achieve something right now...

(I'm in the middle of a really bad flare, so über apologies for being so behind with correspondence and Twitter etc.)
Here are some of my recent photos - all taken during October in North Wales.

Loggerheads, N Wales - more trees

Variations on a theme -
using 'shock my pic' and '
Camera Bag' (Lolo)
on some of the photographs I managed to take at Loggerheads.

Pay it Forward

See the full gallery on Posterous

A lovely Twitter/Facebook Fibro friend posted a status update about 'Pay it Forward 2012'
Were there 5 people who wanted to receive a handmade gift from her? On condition that they in turn would give 5 gifts.
I responded, and received a lovely hand knitted hat (which I'm in awe of, even when my hands worked that well I didn't have the patience for knitting.)

Two of these ACEO sized paintings have been 'Paid Forward' to folks who accepted the challenge. Which means...I have 3 left to give...

Let me know if you want an original painting from me.
They're not scanned when finished - you'll own the only version, besides photos like those above.
I mean, who knows - when I'm dead they may be worth something ;) Especially as my hands and I aren't well enough to paint very often...

But you have to pay the kindness forward to 5 people.
Are you prepared to take that challenge?

It's entirely possible that I'm watching too much Fringe...

Canvas prints #helloCanvas

Some prints just arrived. They look great, I'm really impressed with the quality and the service from 'Hello Canvas'. This is the second time I've used them, using Groupon vouchers as a way of trying various printers. Even without a voucher their prices are competitive and the website is easy to navigate and gives scope for choosing exactly how you want your print to look.
If you live in the UK check them out, and keep an eye out for their Groupon offers.
I'll add links to this post when I'm able to.

(Print is available for purchase, contact me for further information if required.)

Twilight haze, follow your dreams english tea mug from Zazzle.com

via zazzle.com

A couple of peeps mentioned yesterday that they'd like to see my 'Twilight' image from yesterday as a card or mouse mat or something...so your wish is my command.
I've created a variety of items from magnets to prints to this mug with a customisable message.

There's free postage on orders over $50 at the moment, but I suspect that's only for US customers.

When ordering from zazzle always use your county's site to get the best postage rates.
