TWiP: Elements and Earrings ⋆ Polka Dot Cottage

So many people slow down in August, take some time off. Maybe I should have done that, too, but instead I decided I needed a creative project to shake up my polymer clay world a bit. That has turned into the Earring of the Day, which you can see in my shop.

Then, just for kicks, I signed up for a photography project. I am taking part in Picture Elements, which is a prompt-based photography class, which explores 7 visual elements of art: color, line, shape, form, value, texture, and space.

Each day, as a new photography prompt comes in, I find myself thinking “I could do something in polymer that would fit that prompt.” I wish I had thought ahead and just committed to combining the two projects! That would have been an interesting twist, and it would have meant that I only had to think about one creative thing at a time. Ah, well. Live and learn! I’m still having fun so far, though ask me what I think after I’ve been at it for a full month, and we’ll see what I have to say then 😜

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the little (and big!) moments I have captured all week. Some of these images are posted on Instagram, but many aren’t posted anywhere but here. Some days there may be no photos, and other days there may be multiples.

Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S9).
