Today I thought I would find a new palette for my new filters in the mirror world, so I strung some new lights and moved the mirrors, but by a happy accident, I found that I really enjoyed the effects I found with no filter at all.

#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 21: Cracking the Code

Today, I finally got to another process I’ve had in mind. I used “crack” to come up with some Yes or No questions for my Oracle, and wrote the questions with oil pastels on butcher paper. It was sunny, so I thought I’d try my concept outside before putting it in the mirror world. NovemberContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 21: Cracking the Code”

#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 20 & #SoCS: Overlapping Gray Areas

After yesterday’s fun discovery, I created a family of new filters to try. Stream of Consciousness Saturday Today’s #SoCS prompt,”black, gray, and white,” inspired me to take some rich black and white photos with my new filters. It changed how I perceived the shapes. I was more attracted to juxtaposing different shades of brightness andContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 20 & #SoCS: Overlapping Gray Areas”

#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 19: A Shadowy Future

I thought my idea for shadow wasn’t working. I created a paper shade for a lamp, thinking it would make cool patterns on the ceiling, but the paper was too thin. But then I used it over my lens hood and took it into my mirror world and got some really neat effects. November PADContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 19: A Shadowy Future”

A short, syllabic, non-rhyming form that is new to me. She also challenged us to use onomatopoeia which fit well with my notes of the sounds of this Thursday morning. ThisContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 18: This Unknown Thursday”

#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 17: Off Objects

Today I finally have the day to myself and the prompt “Off “should fit well with my mirror world–images reflecting off so many surfaces, and the tilt of the mirror making everything a little off–but the sun came out, so those plans are off. I decided to go see what was popping off outside. AContinue reading “#NaNoWriMo & #NovPAD Day 17: Off Objects”

Today I got to play in my mirror world a little bit and worked at smashing reality. November PAD Chapbook Challenge Today’s two for Tuesday prompt is to write a form or anti-form poem. That pretty much covers: write a poem.
