Photography and Project I am working on

One of the greatest things about having a blog is that it allows me to explore different mediums of art I wasn't familiar with before.  I knew just from reading other blogs the importance of photography.  I find myself gravitating toward blogs that have gorgeous pictures and photo props.  I guess I am just a very visual person.  Before blogging, I have never own a camera.  Right now I am using Canon Rebel T3 which is an amazing camera but I know there is so much more I need to learn.  It truly is a form of art.  I am taking a five weeks photography class in April and I can't wait to share all that I will learn with you.  Here are a few of the photos I have taken...my two passions in life.  Food and my children.

I love this picture.  Photoshop is the most amazing thing.  I am learning as I go but the possibilities are as endless as your creativity.  The girls really love this picture and now they keep asking if I could turn them into mermaids and fairies.  If you know me, then you will know it will turn into a huge production.

 I share a lot of my photos on instagram.  It usually pictures from our everyday life but sometimes it is fun to get to know the person behind the blog.  Right now I am working on a pair of Hollywood Regency cane wing back chairs for my shop but a friend of mine wants to buy them before I even get a chance to put them up for sale. I already started stripping them and forgot to take pictures but here is a picture I found on pinterest of the same type of chair.

The cushions on mine have been chewed away by the previous owner's dogs.  I am stripping everything including the cane on the sides.  Here are my inspirations for what I want the chairs to look like.

 I want to upholster the sides then use the wooden trims to add more delicate details.  I am going to have to come up something creative to add more curves to the legs.  It will be a fun project.  I hope everyone is staying warm.  It sure is freezing out.  I guess it is the perfect day to take out thousands of staples.  Oh fun.


Love,
Victoria
