Can you see it?

Anna, here.  I've been able to get back at my crafting and craft blogging again lately, which has been healthy for my psyche.  A couple of days ago, I set things up to do a shoot of a crown I'd made, that included putting down a piece of red velvet I have.  

I figured it was appropriate for a crown, don't you think?

The crown is on a glass lazy susan, which allowed me to take photos at different angles without actually having to handle the crown.  It worked out rather well.  After I took the photos and removed it, however, I noticed that the little "legs" under the base had left marks in the velvet.  It didn't take long for that to happen at all.  

I moved the lazy susan, but I didn't bother to move the velvet away, thinking I might use it again soon.  Which is why it was still there, yesterday, when I happened to glance at it and noticed something odd.

Can you see it?

I know, taking photos of red is always a challenge for cameras, but it's still there.

Not the dust and cat hair, though that should give you a hint.

Can you see it on here?  It's the same photo as above, but I used post processing to try and bring it out a bit more.

You can see parts of it a lot more clearly at an angle.

Yes, those are kitty paw prints.

And kitty leg prints.

And a kitty butt print.

One of our cats got on my table and sat there long enough to leave a butt print in the velvet.

Along with the hair.

Now I have to figure out how to clean the fuzz off, as well as how to remove cat indentations.

Note for future reference.  Do not leave things out on the table that I don't want the cats to "decorate."

Mystery photo - with a difference

Anna: A slightly different mystery photo this time. Nothing is hidden or cropped. Also, I don't actually know what this thing is called. If you happen to know the name of it, please tell me. Otherwise...

Anna: I think this might be an easy one. Aside from cropping and sizing, this image is straight out of the camera. Click on it for a larger image.

Can you see what it is?

Anna: We got a new toy today. In trying to figure out how to use it, I got this photo here.


This image is completely unaltered. Click on it for full size, though I'm afraid I haven't figured out how to get a larger image with it - at least not one that still looks ok.

So... what do you think it is?

251:365 Last post of 2008 is a mystery

Anna: Happy New Year to everyone. I wish you all the best in 2009, and a fun filled celebration ringing it in.

For the last photo posted in 2008, I was inspired to make it a mystery photo.



Can you guess what this is?

Anna: Philippe took this one and I just had to post it as a mystery pic. Click on it for full size. Can you guess what it is?

Hint: It's actually kinda gross. LOL










update: For those who were interested in seeing the finished sweater I was working on and posted photos of previously, I've now got photos up on my craft blog.

Mystery photo

Anna: I finally found something that would make a good mystery photo. Can you guess what it is?

Bonus shot - mystery pic

Anna: I finally have another mystery pic. This is a crop of a larger image.

What do you think it is?

149:365 Doggin' the Sun, and my first Mystery Pic

Anna: This evening, we headed out for a bit of a shopping trip, finally replacing the mouse and keyboard on our computer. They were both doing some really weird things on us.

Unfortunately, there were no plain, ergonomic keyboards. I've been typing on a split keyboard for years and love it, but the only split keyboard we could find was really expensive, wireless, and had all sorts of bells and whistles we don't want. So now we have a plainer, somewhat ergonomic keyboard (it has wrist support), with bells and whistles we don't want. *sigh* I'm going to have to learn to type all over again.

Oh, and apparently, you can't buy a plain mouse anymore. The plainest one we could find was a gamer's mouse. Right handed, of course. Philippe and I both use the mouse with our left hands, so it's a good thing we don't need the gaming buttons on the side. The scroll wheel glows blue, and the logo has a blue light that very slowly blinks on and off. Pretty, but I'd happily have done without. *L*

As we were leaving with our purchases, we saw a rainbow sundog in the sky. Our younger daughter had her A75 in her purse, so I borrowed it and got this photo.











I've so enjoyed the mystery pics on other photo blogs (visit my links list on the sidebar), I just had to join in the fun. Here is my first mystery pic.




Can you guess what this is?
