Earrings earrings earrings...

I've been really busy lately making earrings. It's crazy to see how my designs have improved so much! I bought most of my the stones and ornate beads from local places, which is more expensive than ordering online but at least you know what you are getting. I've had too many wholesale purchases that I didn't measure out the dimensions beforehand, only to find out the beads might as well be microscopic. Oh the foolery of cameras. Anyways, here are the latest batch, with a few in the previous post as well.

Rasta the dog

We went to spend Christmas at the cabin, and although it didn't snow on Christmas day, it snowed on the 26th, which is alright with me. These are pictures of my parent's dog Rasta who loves to catch snow. The pictures were taken at a 1/750" or 1/1000" exposure.

Water Cycle Poster

Here is something I am working on for the Geography Dept. at Chico State. It's for their display case in the foyer of Butte Hall. They wanted the theme to be water. I still have to do one more poster, and I am waiting for feedback on this one... but I like it so far.

Mark Herrera for City Council campaign poster

I entered a poster design contest for Mark Herrera's campaign for City Council. It is a poster contest being judged completely on Facebook. The poster with the most "likes" wins the contest, and also the designer gets an award. The poster contest meant to reach young voters and the CSU Chico student population. My design was meant to imitate the whole hipster/vintage trend. It originally after a few edits looked somewhat like a carnival poster, which I scaled down and changed the colors.

Here is what I submitted:

Here is the Facebook Poster Contest Link to my design.
Here is his campaign website.

Earrings

I've been making more earrings lately. There are about 4 from this summer and the rest are all ones I made today.

Long exposure night lights

Here are a few pictures from the second half of the photoshoot. We used an LED light and a 15" exposure to create the effect. The only other lights came from the front porch or street lights. I took about 40 of these pictures, but I will just put up my favorites.
