It’s 3:11 p.m. on Friday, and I’ve *almost* finished my to-do list for the week! To celebrate, a happy little project I’ve been meaning to post…sunprints! These require no camera or film or batteries, just some objects, special sunpaper, and the sun. You can pick up kits online, and I recently spotted the kit at Terrain locally.
When you’ve arranged your objects and exposed the paper to the sun, you get nifty little square prints like these. Just rinse with water when the paper changes color. So get out there, grab a kit, and make art with the sun, lovely people!
The left example is an old 120 film negative. The example on the right comes with a confession at no extra charge: I have an assortment of terrariums all over the house, and they exist solely to allow me to act out stories with model-railroad-sized people. (Think 1.2″ tall figurines.) Right now, there’s a murder mystery going on in the ivy, a shady deal going on behind the fern, and a goat guarding the moss.
I nabbed those little people from their homes for this sunprint, which ended up a lot like CSI: Railroad Figurines. That wasn’t how it looked in my head, but I still dig it.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
I heart heart heart these images — the atypical portrait wardrobe, the hugs and love and the way Liam knows he *owns* these two. Shana has started training for marathons since the last time I saw her — insane! Insanely awesome, too!
Ridiculously-long hugs upon the three of you!
We headed outside and, due to the 3,426% humidity level, decided to let Jack commandeer the hose.
It was totally worth it:
A little sprinkler-running-through-ness never hurt anyone, either…look at that giggle, and that tow-headed fuzzy goodness!
Yes, his eyes really are this gorgeous. (Boys always *always* get the longest eyelashes and most sparkly eyes. So jealous…..)
