Last of the cybercrop LOs

Here are another couple of things I did at the cybercrop at the weekend. This first one is a journal/notebook class by Annette. I have done it in masculine colours as it is for John to use with his Warhammer army. I now have to make another one for Andrew!


This LO was for a sketch challenge and the photos are of Gordon and John visiting Andrew and I in hospital when he was born.


I have not been doing any scrapping this week as my next essay is due in for my OU course - I have only written half of it so far and it is to be handed in on Friday - so guess what I'm doing tomorrow!

Mystery Kit

Every cybercrop there is Mystery Kit which you can buy and make something with, this year there was also a theme to the challenge. As I was in Musical Melodies I had to make something with a musical theme, the kit came from A Trip Down Memory Lane. I decided to make a star book using the song Do-Re-Mi as inspiration.

Cyber cropping

Its cybercrop weekend again at UKS. Was away all day yesterday so didn't get quite as many LOs done as usual, but am pleased with what I have done.

I managed this LO on Friday night, it was for a class by Clo. The photos are from Ballinoy Harbor, Co Antrim. It was a fabulous place and the waves were spectacular.

Next class was one I had the kit for, by Bubbly Funk, I am going to make it into a canvas. I have still got some other bits from the kit to finish.

This next one is for a class by Louise. The photos are of the Emperor Constantine in the Capitaline Museum, Rome. Papers are Basic Grey Hang 10.

I shall upload more later. There is a birthday boy here wanting his birthday tea and cake!

PWL - Module 3

I haven't had a lot of time this week to go and take photos for the module. This week it was about framing a shot. Here are my 3 shots.

This was taken in the garden.

I know this is a bit blurry, but was getting fed up by this time, and had run out of willing models.

I like this one, which is a bit of a cheat, as all the photos are supposed to be taken this week and this was taken during week 1 while on holiday, but it fitted the module perfectly.

Giants Causeway

As promised here are some holiday photos. We got a really nice day when we went to the Giants Causeway, which is a fabulous place. We spent ages just clambering over the rocks which we all enjoyed.

Another place I would recommend is the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, which gets put up every year for the salmon fishermen to cross over.

And just to prove that we all managed to cross it. It looks a bit scary but isn't really!

An Oscar Cybercrop

UKS are having a cybercrop next weekend with the theme of Oscars, I am in the Musical Melodies team, I just love cybercrops.

I was trying out crochet on holiday and decided to do an Oscar to sit on my desk for the cybercrop.

I have also managed to do my first flower. I quite enjoyed it, so will be practising lots.

I have also done a LO for a pre cc sketch class. This is another LO for my Rome album

PWL - Module 2

This weeks module was to look at texture. Here are my three favourite photos. I was out in the garden for ages with my tripod to get the first two shots!

Fab Holiday

What a brilliant holiday we had last week. Country Antrim is a fabulous place to go on holiday. It had just about everything we could have wanted - rugged coastline with fantastic waves, sandy beaches, places to visit, plus 10-pin bowling, cinema and shops for the kids.

We visited the major tourist places - photos to follow - when I get them all uploaded!! The weather the first weekend was freezing and windy - we went out for a walk and just about got blown away!!! Then it got a bit warmer and was lovely and sunny and dry.

Here are my 3 photos for Module 1 of the Painting with Light course. It was titled Changing the viewpoint.

This is of part of the Giants Causeway.

Taken at ground level at Dunluce Castle.

All packed!

I'm now all packed up and ready for my weeks holiday tomorrow. We are getting the 10 am ferry over to Belfast so have an early start. I am really looking forward to this. Got my PWL module 1 last night and have packed my camera and manual!!!

Painting with Light

I have signed up for Cheryl Johnsons Painting with Light course which starts this week. For our precourse homework we had to take a selfportrait and this is mine! I am really looking forward to the course as I have yet to take my DSLR off the auto setting - but now I shall have to!

I have also signed up for Shimelle's No Place Like Home course, which also looks really good. Not that I have actually done anything yet but I do have ideas.
