Okay, this is the last silly background for my four-headed giraffe… before we start making it really weird…

If you don’t know what this is, go back and read the first post in the series… part 1…

Okay, obviously the title is a little confusing when this is the first post in the series… but it will be funny by the time I get to part 12 or so. Also, it will keep me from having to explain what me and the crack squirrels that live in my head are doing over and over again in each new post.

And what are we doing, exactly? Well, we are taking some photos I took of my two first glass blowing projects from that class I took, and doing some fun stuff with them in Lunapics, a free program that any of you can use on any photos you have on your computer.

So there is the photo I chose to use first.

And with a few simple mouse clicks, I made all these.

So there you have it. Glass objects that I made myself, photographed on a table that I stained myself, upon which I write and edit my books, and carve tikis, and paint pictures, and then digitally altered.

Doesn’t get much more multimedia than that, does it?

Oh, don’t hurt yourself trying to figure out what it is… just wait and see what kind of weird stuff I do with it.

I decided to do some more fancy backgrounds on my weird, four-headed giraffe thing… you know… before I start doing weird stuff with it.

I don’t suck at blowing glass!!!… the final chapter… I mean, until my next two classes… (with gratuitous baby photos!)…

These are the last photos I took of my first two glass projects.

Glass is awesome. You work it when it is the consistency of honey… molten-hot honey. But what other artistic medium can you look through and in to?

a 3

Every color you added is in there. So it every twist and swirl and bubble, as well as the imperfections.

Also, I babysat the twin boys today, as well as Miss Olivia. The twins have some kind of stomach bug. Stuff was shooting out both ends. I do not get paid enough for six-and-a- half hours of that. And I am going back to my friend’s house tomorrow and Thursday too… sigh…

Don’t let me forget that I am going to do some cool, artsy stuff to some of these glass project photos.

a 5

Man, I did a pretty good job, for a newbie.

Yeah, these are not the usual happy faces that my little buddies have when I am over there playing with them.

Poor little guys.

a 6

That is not a bad photo of a not bad piece of art.

a 7

I love the light bulb shape.

a 8

And I like the bubbles. One looks like planet Earth.

Awwww…

They really do look alike.

Okay, see you soon.

Also, you should totally go see that Thor Ragnarok movie…

It is hilarious and full of adventure. Also, it is a chance to remind you that I saw Chris Hemsworth at Comic Con.

I know, right?

A weird, foggy sunrise in San Diego…

I took my youngest daughter, Mollie, to the train station on the coast this morning, so she could get back to college.

She took these pictures with her cell phone as we drove on the freeway. The sun was just coming up behind those clouds…

Except those aren’t really clouds. That is the back side of a big fog bank that we had driven through. Also, note the mist hugging the ground over a small lagoon at the bottom of the valley.

I know, but I did warn you that I had more photos of my first two glass blowing projects… although, I suppose, technically, the paperweight thing on the right, my very first project, didn’t require any blowing at all.

a 2

I was so excited when I got them home that I took them out in the yard and took a bunch of photos, trying to get the right angles and the right lighting to show them off.
