Text of the page (random words):
nd for about 10 years who have lots of beautiful fabrics created by lots of talented artists i have thought about put my work onto fabric before but you know how time is it disappears and one thing leads to another and before you know it it is another thing that is sitting on the backburner waiting for you to rethink it so it was a wonderful opportunity for me to revisit putting my work onto fabric i was a bit nervous i have to admit but after exchanging emails with the company and getting some much needed advice i uploaded the image and drop shipped the fabric to the customer then it was nail biting time because i was watching the tracking to see when the fabric would arrive at the customers home about a week after i saw the fabric had been delivered i was getting nervous these customers had been great communicators in the lead up time so i was just about to send them an email and the photo of the finished rocking chair arrived with a lovely lovely thank you from the happy customers what is so awesome about this is now i know i can put my work onto fabric with confidence and am excited about a new avenue for my work but most of all i have happy customers who have a one of a kind chair unique to them their home every time i look at this photo it makes me smile and i think it really is a work of art with the yellow accents too and the artist in me is very very happy

photography shop pretty peony st john s bridge teresa chipperfield studios wall tapestries wednesday march 23 2016 hurricane warning on the oregon coast hi all i hope spring autumn for our s hemi peeps finds you well 2 weeks ago i went to the oregon coast with my two sons we stayed in an amazing house on a sand dune right above the beach looking out at the amazing vastness of the pacific ocean we have stayed in this house before and knew it had awesome views with lots of windows facing the west for amazing sunsets ocean viewing what we didn t know was how bad the weather was going to be rain had been forecast hey this is early march in oregon so no surprises there but we did not expect the hurricane warnings that started to show up the day after we arrived oops these are basically unheard of in oregon it definitely made for an interesting experience i have experienced some strong winds in my life but for about 18 hours this was crazy and the rain just pouring down like tomorrow was going out of fashion and the winds whipped the waves into a frenzy the windows of the house were literally shaking thankfully they were not glass and we were happy to be indoors with a gas fire to keep us warm you can read about the hurricane winds here i went outside onto an upstairs balcony a couple of times very briefly to take some photos of the very high waves but nearly got blown away trying to hold my camera steady with a zoom lens was challenging but i tried so as fuzzy as some of these images are i wanted to share them with you because they have their own beauty the following day the waves were still high but lovely blue skies appeared there was some flooding and some of the local coastal rivers were close to or at flood stage we drove thru a few big pools of standing water along some coastal roads still not really quite believing what we had experienced click on photos to see larger images the pacific ocean by early afternoon 1pm the winds had picked up and the high tide was churning the sky was grey and the drizzle turned to rain next 3 photos are early afternoon too i couldn t resist adding a little colour to this photo and a few following ones to see if i could show the brewing storm in a different light the pacific ocean at 3pm the sky was so dark it was hard to see the horizon the waves were powerful and swirling it was amazing to hear their thunderous crashing 1pm march 9th 1pm march 10th it was amazing the transformation within those 24 hours same shot above and below 24 hrs apart mother nature is so awesome again pretty much the same shot taken 24 hrs apart the ocean is beautiful majestic frightening and reassuring all at the same time high tide both shots looking out at the calmer ocean at high tide and the blue sky if we hadn t lived it we would not have believed it had been so incredibly rainy and gale force winds less than 6 hours before and howling all night but as the camera was pointed south there were still glimmers of those rain clouds moving inland towards the coastal range i have to admit i was just so excited to be by the ocean again it has been the longest time ever for me between trips to the ocean i had missed it so much i m a water girl i need to see the ocean and be by it on a regular basis or i dry up lol well i guess i got more water than i had bargained for but it was thrilling to be at the coast to experience this storm call me crazy but i felt a kind of refreshed sense of renewal after it but i am also the kind of girl who likes to open the windows and breathe in deeply during a thunderstorm hope you enjoy my photos happy wednesday happy painting creating t posted by t poppyplacepdx at 3 18 pm 11 comments labels beach with my sons coastal road crazy weather flooding high

poppyplacepdx spring blossoms photography spring giveaway wednesday february 24 2016 being grateful hi all i hope i find you all well and your wednesday is going well so a few weeks ago in my blog post i started to tell you a bit about our failed move to san diego i thought i would hold off talking too much about it this week as i can only handle so much of it so i am sure you could possibly feel the same way i will get back to it but i truly have to process it too i don t want to sound too whiny so pausing for now but if you read that week s blog post you know that my 2015 sucked so i wanted to share with you a simple process i go thru every day that makes getting out of bed in the morning a whole hell of a lot better noticed i didn t say bounce out of bed as i can t remember the last time i did that except when i needed to go a pee urgently lol anyway lying in bed after i wake is a troubling time for me as each part of my body wakes i become aware of the pains and challenges going on in my body and sigh i think well here we go again another day of dragging thru life it would be so much easier to just pull the covers up over my head and go f it i ain t moving i m just going to lie here and feel sorry for myself all day but that is just plain selfish don t get me wrong there have been plenty of days when i wasn t physically able to get out of bed so that is where i stayed but there are other people to consider not just me so after a while i give myself a little pep talk in the form of being grateful of course it would be so much easier to stay in bed than getting up and pushing myself thru each day so much easier to feel sorry for myself than to be grateful but i count this as a good exercise for my mind it might not be earth shattering but i do believe that there is a slight paradigm shift and a motivating message to my body that it is worth it to push thru and try and live as best a life as i can that day so i tell myself 10 things i am grateful for they don t have to be big things they shouldn t be the same things as yesterday although of course there is a constant theme to this my number one gratitude statement is i am thankful i woke up this morning simple but so important right followed closely by being exceptionally grateful for a loving family being grateful is not a new concept i know but being consistent with it is what makes it worthwhile and strengthens my resolve i try not to be grateful for superficial things in my 10 morning gratitude statements but i will include being incredibly grateful for a roof over my head i never take that for granted one of the things i am very grateful for is still being able to be creative and i love to share my photos artwork for you to enjoy here is something i have been working on recently my children found this feather one year while we were on vacation at the beach they kindly presented it to me and it has been a part of my art space for a long time now it has been used for drawing lessons writing and even to move paint around a surface notice there are a couple of tips that have ink on them a few summers ago i decided to work on an outdoor still life photography project the feather was a part of that this year i finally had some time to work on creating the images i wanted from that shoot hope you enjoy these click on photos to see larger images

usually do things like that but in 2016 i am trying to embrace a few things outside my comfort zone this was the premise post nature photos one a day for 7 days tag the person who nominated you to participate and then tag someone else to join in simple i guess i do not like to feel pressured to do something also as a professional photographer i feel i have to come up with something special to fit this label that is attached to taking photos for a living well if i made a living out of photography by itself that would be one things but i don t lol anyway i thought i would give it a go especially as it was amount friends on facebook here are the photos i shared day one icicles hanging from a maple tree in my garden january 2016 day two sunset from our street i have never seen a cloud formation quite like this march 2015 day three white pelicans on the salton sea california november 2014 day four beautiful silhouette of a tree against a california sunset poway park 2014 day
