Camera Lucida: Garden Treasure
I don’t think it is any secret that I do not have the gardener’s gift. I don’t have the patience, nor the memory (!), to be a good caretaker of plants.
So when I designed this pattern, Topiary Fingerless Mitts, I found the solution to my problem. A garden is a thing of beauty, and this one is a joy forever. This is where the trees are never harmed by winter, drought or neglect; where the leaves are always green and the jonquils are always in bloom.
This week’s theme: Garden Treasure
- a piece of ground adjoining a house, used for growing flowers, fruit, or vegetables
- a quantity of precious metals, gems, or other valuable objects.
This week your challenge is to share what is your garden treasure…it is your beautiful and personalised box of gardening utensils…maybe your secret corner of heaven…a rare flower that makes you proud…your dirty boots and gloves…
What is your garden treasure…how does your garden reflect you?
Share this week a piece of you…maybe a little secret that you’ve kept hidden behind a beautiful evergreen pot:)

Camera Lucida – Reflections
The ocean is always fascinating to me, and on days like this one, the lighting was perfect for capturing reflections in Yaquina Bay. I love this photo taken during the photoshoot for the Salishan Cowl – precisely because of the beauty of the reflecting sky and the shimmering reflected fishing boats. Even the colors reflect. In this picture, everything is more important than the cowl – hence it did not end up in the pattern. But I love it!
This week’s theme: Reflections
- the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it
- an amount of light, heat, or sound that is reflected by a body or surface
It’s always interesting to look at reflections…are they really the same as the reality?
How many times did you look at your own reflection and wondered if that’s how the world sees you…?
This week’s theme is: Reflections…show us how we look at the world upside down…how we see ourselves from the other side…how water seems to be the borderline between reality and imagination…show us who looks back from the mirror…make this week your own and tell us a story that will make us reflect:)
Two other photos taken at the same time:

Camera Lucida: Metal
As promised, my Camera Lucida entries are knitting-related in some way. This rusted remnant of days gone by stands beside the pathway to the Salishan Spit. It was on my second hike to the Spit, the photoshoot for the Salishan Cowl, that I took this photo. The water pump had caught my eye before, and I thought perhaps it would be an interesting way to style the cowl. None of the pictures of the water pump made it into the pattern or onto the Ravelry pattern page, but I still think the elegance of the line of the water pump juxtaposed with the rusting iron makes an interesting image, and I share it here as my entry in this week’s Camera Lucida photo challenge.
This week’s theme: Metal
- a solid material which is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g. iron, gold, silver, and aluminium, and alloys such as steel).
This week I am brining you into a new world…a different way of looking at something that all of us have around but rarely would we consider it art…the use of metal. Take a look around you and find that simple and maybe insignificant, sometimes even dangerous piece of rust that brings to life emotions…a different spark in our eyes and a modern interpretation of rudimentary.
Show your unique view on this weeks’ theme, bring us your best art…might that be a bridge of locks that tell a story, the old barn door with nails sticking out, a sculpture covered by rust but full of character or your personalised DIY tool box …this week anything metal goes 🙂
