Digital Scavenger Hunt- October 2010

Whew!  I am the type of person that is never late for anything, and I was starting to worry about getting this month's scavenger hunt up in time!  Many thanks to Antonia of Lifting Me Up, who writes a fabulous blog that I really love to read, for sponsoring this scavenger hunt.

We were given a list of eight themes, which we could interpret in any way.   After you're done checking out my pictures, please take a moment to check out the other participants!  I always find the variety so interesting, considering we're all given the same words to work with. 

Here we go!

Concrete

One of the parks we like to play at has this cool rock climbing playground made of concrete.

Energy

This electrical grid is almost art in itself.  It reminds me of the quote by Blaise Pascal "Symmetry is what we see at a glance."

Lost
My daughter, who's only six, already gets lost in books.  I love that we have instilled our love of reading in her.  (On an aside, she just peeked over my shoulder and saw that I'm using this photo for lost.  When I tried to explain the phrase "lost in books" she said that I should use that for confusion, instead, because she doesn't get it.☺)  This was the first time I found her asleep with the book covering her face, but it hasn't been the last!


Dance
I love this photo I captured of my daughter dancing.  The music was loud and she was twirling, twirling, twirling.  You can see the movement in her swinging curly hair, and she's having a great time!

Autumn
The leaves, they are a' changin'.

Smile
This is the shy, quiet and serious younger daughter...  you know when you get a smile out of her, she really means it!

Confused
I understand the concept of the sundial, but I'm just so confused! There are fifteen "buttons" on this sundial.  People can really tell time off of these things?  It was approximately 2:10pm when this photo was taken...

Funny
Those that are regular readers of my blog have seen this sign before... I posted it a couple of weeks ago after our trip to the mountains.  The play on words really tickled me!


Hope you enjoyed my interpretations of these eight themes!  Please be sure to check out the other participants at their blogs! The Scavenger Hunts had to be posted by October 10, so if you don't see it today, please check back again tomorrow!

Learning How to Wire Wrap!

Have you been thinking about learning a new skill?  I love the look of wire wrapped jewelry, and that is something I've been wanting to learn!  Thanks to the Wire Wrapping for Beginners group on the new Etsypreneur site, I see some wire wrapped stones in my near future!


This group was started by Jenn Stuart of JennStuartCreations on Etsy.   Jenn is a self-taught wire wrapper, and learned a lot of her technique on the web.  She wanted to form a group that allows anyone to post links to websites, tutorials, video, etc. about the art of wire wrapping.


In the first video I watched, I learned how to wire wrap a Briolette Pendant.  The video was simple and easy to understand, and I can't wait to get the supplies to try it myself!  Check out the video and learn for yourself!







Jenn also posted an awesome tutorial explaining how to make a wire wrapped ring.  This tutorial is thorough from beginning to end.  You can learn how to make a wire wrapped ring, too!






Many thanks to Tim and Kim for starting the new site Etsypreneur, an uplifting and helpful community of Etsy sellers!  And thank you to Jenn, for creating the wire-wrapping group.  I'm already feeling helped, and that is very uplifting!


Have a great weekend, everybody!
