art links

My first attempt at working with the Dualflex Duaflex.  I can't wait to work with it on a tripod and at the beach.  I'm still figuring out which digital lens is best to use and how to drape a cloth over me while I'm shooting, etc. (so as to prevent excess light leaking into the photograph).  I love how dreamy and vintage this looks (even though it's blurry and rather rough and the lens could use some cleaning).  I'm just excited that I pretty much centered the black border and was able to crop out the excess (except that now that I've published, the photo has been cropped.  How do I fix this?)  Fixed it!  Can't wait to learn more about how to do this.

You probably can't tell, but those are hand carders, in the foreground, with a bit of wool in them, and thats my messy office/studio in the back.  I'm currently enjoying making batts of wool, combining all the colors I want to work with and then, when I'm satisfied with the colors, hand carding the batt into smaller, more manageable bits that I can spin into yarn.
