This post consists of a couple of my projects, mostly still life.
Or rather I should say the nature that I killed in order to satisfy my hedonistic side.
Do you remember the herbarium?
That project was mandatory for us in the eighth grade of elementary school, as well as the insectarium (for which I can't remember if I managed to impale and arrange a couple of unfortunate butterflies), while enjoyed pressing the plants!
It's time to take myself back in time, I started collecting and pressing the varies herbs, and this is a shot of the wild chamomile while it is still tucked between the thick books.
The pages will mostly be decorated with herbs that I use and will use, short description, blooming season, purpose... Perhaps a few random flowers that I got from dear darling, will find it's place in it.
Today I hung parsnip leaves, I need them dry, but not pressed, in some winter days I will revive them again as tea or homemade soup. Until then it will (another recent project that we started, a summer kitchen or prep kitchen), decorate the wall.
One could say, too many projects - too little time.
The golden rule is that when you're clearing out an underutilized space, or a space that's mostly used for storage - you'll find a ton of wonderful forgotten items.
The soup bowl that lost its lid in that lair soon stepped in the role of a luxurious porcelain vase for marigolds and roses.
Located on a cherry shade chest of drawers from the Art Nouveau period, behind which rises a brick wall, that wall is also one of the projects.
Still life should not be difficult to photograph, but there are so many angles, so many details that it seems to me that the more you look at them, the faster they multiply.
Like our projects - amoebas.
