2 Photographers 1 Inspiration : Spring

 

This weeks promopt is Spring....and again I am a day late....

My excuse it was my oldest Spring concert at school last night, and what a totally enjoyable time we had..... I love seeing them in their concerts mainly as its a firm reminder to myself how far they have come since we became a family...and last night was a sure reminder. 

So Mellisa chose the prompt this time and she chose Spring.... well I wish Spring would come.

It has done nothing but rain here now for days...its cold .... that cold that for to days now Ive had to light the wood stove.

But in true mother nature style the daffodils have come to visit 

Its about the only thing that has may I add.....

Pay a visit to Mellisa and Kristi ....... Their imagines are wonderful.

2 Photographers 1 Inspiration : Color

 They say better late than never, and in my case I would have to agree.
So yesterday was 2 Photographers 1 Inspiration : Color.
and I'm a day later...... but I have an excuses ....I have a sick child in the house and she is keeping me on my toes.
So in honor of coloring because we are bored...lets face it there is only so much TV you can watch and only so many books you can read. My photo for Color is pencils....bright shiny pencils which Miss Kayla helped me arrange.

If you have time why not hop on over to Kristi's and Mellisa's and see their take on Color ....worth a visit

2 Photographers 1 Inspiration : Blur

This weeks Photo Prompt over at A Life Through The lens is the word BLUR ....

Ideas, Ideas.... far to many of them, until we had a ice storm and I went outside in the middle of it (crazy I know) with my camera (wrapped in a plastic bag) and snapped away .......

It was freezing out there but the results I think were worth being extremely cold

 

There is something really beautiful about ice on trees.

Hop over to see Kristi and Melissa's work and their take on the work Blur.

2 Photographers 1 Inspiration : Around Town

This weeks Photo Prompt over at A Life Through The lens is to take a photography of the city or town in which you live....

And in true TatterBean style I couldn't just give you one ....

 It was two hard...

Also this is a mixture of the town in which I live and the neighboring town ...

Mainly cause I love both...

Being a city girl and being from across the pond, where I live now is so different... so I'm often just blown away by it all....

So here it is 

And you really should pop over to see Kristi and Mellisa's work ... stunning ..and not to be missed

2 Photographers 1 Inspiration : White

Each week I join in with Kristi over at A Life Through The Lens and the photo prompt she does with another photographer called Mellisa.

This weeks prompt was the color white .....  

Kristi added this to the prompt

White (adj)

A: Free from color

B: The color of snow or milk

C: Free from spot or blemish

I am in love with the images that Kristi and Melissa have taken and posted this week. You really should go over and have a look... both photos have a dreamy feel to them.

For me the color white screams snow... but as Im a little bit sick of snow right now the thought of posting a photo of it is unthinkable.

One of my big loves is Pearls and the other week when sorting out a craft box I found a string of them, why they where in a craft box I have no idea but never the less I found them. 

You all know my other love is Teacups .. so the two together go very nice.... 

When I look at pearls I do think pure, white also says pure to me to ... so here is my photo prompt for this week 

 If you fancy join in with the photo prompt then make sure you follow Kristi on her blog and look out for the prompt each week...

2 Photographers 1 Inspiration : Texture

Every Wednesday to of my favorite Photographers do a photography prompt .....

I recently joined back up with them to take part....

This week the prompt was Texture......

How excited have I been all week..textures are what I love about what I do ... I don't think I have anything in my shop that isn't textured in one way or another ...

I'm crazy for textures...and have recently started working on making and taking my own to use as over layers....... not has hard as you may think... anything can be used..its just what you do with it to make it work I guess...

So as we had a huge snow storm today this throw me slightly... I normal take the photo of what I want to enter the day I'm going to do the prompt... yes I am  totally organized.

Well that didn't quiet happen today two children at home and between shoveling and everything else you do with two kids home..when your not use to having them home ..it well went a miss...

But not a complete wash out ... I have a file of photos that are all textured so I went and had a look .... and this has to be one of my favorite...

I took this sitting at my work desk at home... The thing I love about it is the tree ....... this is the view I have and its even better in summer... and that tree has been featured in so much of my blog posts its untrue....

I am a tree lover also 

 It is a texture I do plan on using at some point....

 Now hop on over to Life Through The Lens and see what Kristi and Mellisa came up with

2 Photographers 1 Inspiration

For along time now I have wanted to join in with Kristi and Melissa and their photo prompt  ... I use to do to join this prompt sometime ago before I opened my own Etsy shop...

Kristi is one of the reasons I started my shop.. she has for sometime been a source of inspiration to me ... and a great encouragement.

Her work is featured in my daughters room, and that room was decorated around the prints I picked out from her shop .. Lifethroughthelens

So this weeks prompt was your favorite imagine from 2010

This was hard there was so many

In the end I went with a favorite of some of my team mates on Etsy and a favorite of mine... both involving water a favorite activity of both my children

 

Both my children are awesome models and will send hours letting me take their photos as long as its something they enjoy doing... 

Do you have a faviorite Imagine of 2010

if so go join in with Kristi and Melissa

they would love to meet you
