Summer Cloud Watching
A beautiful day in southern Ohio... perfect for engaging in a little nephelococcygia- looking for shapes in the clouds.

Crafty Con
A few weeks ago, the Dayton Circus Creative Collective held the 2nd Annual Dayton Crafty-Con to raise funds for their 8th annual Sideshow. It was basically a craft show & sale, but with a bonus "Battle of the Crafters," a kind of Iron Chef-style crafting competition. I got some really awesome goodies, talked to some great people, and managed to take a few pics along the way. Oh, and had an awesome mac-n-cheese gourmet hot dog from the Zombie Dogz food truck. Love them! I didn't get pics of all the vendors, because there were a lot, and they were all awesome, and my camera battery died in like, the first half hour. (I can't seem to stop saying awesome. It just was.) I did manage to get some fuzzy cell phone pics, but there are a lot more pictures on the Crafty-Con Facebook page, so visit the links below.
The theme for the second round was "music" and resulted in this Deadmau5-style headgear. |
The winner of the second round. Dope! |
The third round crafters created a decorative mirror, a mobile, and the winning entry, a tote bag in the "circus" theme. |
The championship round winners and their Sideshow donations vessel, to be used at a future Sideshow event! |
Food truck love |
I tried the "Calling in Dead" and it was delish! |
Loved the knitted can coozies with a handy handle. Loved them enough I bought one as a gift for my sister. More beer, fewer beer fouls. Win-win! Thanks Blue Planet Creations! |
Cute knitted monsters. Grr! |
The fairy gardens were extraordinary. My camera just couldn't capture them right. See FairyGardensByLori on Facebook for more pics. |
Macabre art and pins by Sunny Skye Creations |
Witty cards by Cathartic Slant. (I bought one of her art prints as well.) |
Rubber stamps from 100 Proof Press. |
Lissa Lush makes stuff! |
Amazing reproduction of Starry Night using soda cans! By Metal Art Xpressions. |
YAY for recycling! |
Be awesome to each other!

Neon Trees!* (*not the band)
A while ago (January 19th, to be exact), I took a bunch of pictures of trees, then realizing that bare naked branches in picture after picture are not exactly the most interesting thing in the world, I edited them in Paint, Picasa, and Picnik (old-school, now defunct Picnik, not the g+ photo suite version), taking a lot of liberties with the color, saturation, exposure, etc. I've had these photos hanging out on my computer, not really doing anything, so I thought I would post them and get a little color and texture up in here.
I have plans to go to the museum this weekend, so hopefully I will have a more legit "arty" blog post in a few days, but for now, enjoy some highly manipulated pictures of trees!
Oh, and the photos were taken at Woodland cemetery & arboretum, so if you notice grave markers or ghosts or something in the pictures, yep. That's what it is.
