I marked November with photos I have taken lately. I spent so much time sorting images and capturing new subject matter that I decided to make November’s Artlets like a small photo album.
Materials: One camera, imaged downloaded to the computer, cropped to the Artlet size (approx. 4″ high and 2″ wide), photo paper and printer! Voilá, November’s Artlets were born!
Hope you enjoy the pen-ultimate installment of 2012 Artlets! 29 days and counting and I will have fulfilled my personal goal – I can’t believe the year is almost over…
Meanwhile, celebrate with me: I arrived in Canada 33 years today!
Congratulations on your anniversary 😉
I love your photos – I’m a dreadful photographer, but I’m slowly learning…

Thanks, Dianne! Taking great photos is just practice! Take that camera everywhere you go and start clicking. Once you get home to the computer, download the images and delete what didn’t turn out – no use “wasting” memory on your computer when the images are not so great.

Thanks, Bonnie! I am glad I ended up in Canada, too.. I keep joking – what brought me here was a first stop on my trip around the world – I am still here and enjoying it!

What an accomplishment – 11 months of artlets. Love-em! Oh my, I think I will miss them in January but, “onward and upward” as they say.

Gwen, I am sure I come up with another challenge for 2013… just not artlets this time! Glad you have enjoyed them so far!

You certainly succeeded in making me hungry. The pictures take on a whole new dimension when cropped. Wish I could come close in capturing my quilts in photos. Always, always look forward to your postings.

If I made you hungry I must have captured the essence of the food. My special interest is actually close up (macro) photography – there was very little cropping involved, in fact I only re-sized the images to the Artlet size. So much fun – so little time. I am embarking on some holiday baking soon… there are more images in the future!

Thanks, Alice! I had a lot of fun with the pomegranates… from individual seeds to the way they are safely embedded in their “shell” – they provided countless hours of photography joy!

Hi Anna,
Canada ia certainly the one who benefitted from your arrival !!!! Your enthusiasm for the art world and life in general is contagious and I feel lucky to know you!
I love the artlets – the food is such a unique subject in so small an object!
Is that the art piece out in your yard that you were mentioning in your blog? It is indeed beautiful and adds a burst of colour on grey days.

Thanks for the enthusiastic feedback, Karen!
When days get dull and grey I look to the yard for my kinetic sculpture and capture food up close! There is so much color in the world – we don’t always have to travel to exotic places to find it!
