Teapots & Toadstools

I glad found a new Happy Place, and it's Called 365 Project! Thank you @Joysfocus and @Weezielou for telling me about forum where NICE and TALENTED artist share their photography!

This a photo of 3 needle felted hedgehogs in their natural habitat. I waited until the natural light shined directly on all three furry critters. It was hard to get the rascals to cooperate, but thankfully I got one good photo out of "several" to put it mildly shots. I was trying to get the tallest hog on the log to be centered in between the teapots. I also wanted to have the teapots forming a flow to go backwards diagonally toward the upper right corner and the lines of the counter to have movement toward the right part of the foreground. Not really, but that's how it turned out. Then my husband taught me how to edit on my phone. Lastly, I practiced my editing skills by editing out some dirt, so not to embarrass myself on this new forum. How's that for transparency? I wanted to frame the bottom right and left corners with green moss or do an oval around the whole photo but I didn't want my husband to think I was spending too much time on this new hobby. I would love to learn photo editing (which my husband is good at) soon. Right now they are next to nill.

Feel free to edit my photo and share back with me. I would love to see a cool oval around it or cute talking bubbles come out of the hedgehogs. I would love that!

I did not make these. I just appreciate cuteness.

The ceramic leaf that they are on, was made by adults with autism! So great!

Good shot and good description to go with it

How cute. I love craft projects and so nice that adults with autism had fun making the leaf. Beautiful teapots too. Natural lighting is the best. :) Fav. (I think I might have the same tile...haha!)

I forget how long I have done 365...maybe almost 7 years?!? Louise was one of the first people I met! :)

@gardenfolk Thank you for your SWEET comments, CC! I'm not surprised that you met Louise. My husband and I are THRILLED to have met her and Ken. Thanks for the love! Thanks for helping to know I'm not alone with my tile. It's not my favorite, and I wanted to change it to white quartz in the photo!

Welcome to 365. It’s my happy place. I love the nod to adults with autism. I have a 7 yo non verbal, autistic grandson. The hedgehogs are adorable and I like how the focus puts the nosey chap in the middle right in our face.
