Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

You are very organised. I can remember making a needle case at school.

Both are colorful and creative. All the needles I inherited are in plain cardboard holders. Now what are they used for again? {;->

Glorious image. Love that you made it from scraps, love the boldness of the hues, love the topaz treatment, and how the needles flow out like they'r part of the design. Your filter gives a flowing-river feeling to it; and makes the needles part wisp/part needle. A stark image, and I'd put this on my wall. Love it.
(I watched a friend of mine felt about 6 old sweaters, and it was terrifying! I was so trained never to heat wool, that to watch her take 6 beautiful sweaters---they were holey and worn, but still beautiful---wet them a bit, then stick them in a dryer? I almost passed out. She said, "relax!" I still get jitters thinking about it. I think in the original 10 commandments, one of them was, "for god's sake, don't put wool in the dryer! Your clothing'll fit a chipmunk...")
