Coming back to AM3 after a long hiatus. I hope to be more active in the coming months.
What's the matter, bad weather? :)

Very creative! Those stars are incredible. Are they just reflections? Or...am I missing something? Wonderful image!
3 Mar 2009 12:29pm
@Marcie: Thanks...They are just reflections from the silver star-studded wrapping paper that I placed under the spoon.
Clever idea, I must try harder with the reflection thing, this result is just fab.

Exellent!!!

Cette composition est très originale dans son graphisme. L'effet de matière en N&B est saisissant, je l'adore. Un très beau travail de recherche.

This is BRILL! Love it - looks like a spoon from a bakers shop, must be used for sweet star goodness.

This is terrific, Laurie ... a very clever setup.
Happy to see it in the resonance feature.
21 Feb 2013 11:27pm
@Judy aka L@dybug: Wow...thanks Judy. I hadn't been here in a very long time so I missed some of the new features like resonance. I had stopped updating AM3 due to time constraints with maintaining more than one blog site.
Excellente idée ce thème, magnifique création !!!
