Things that bring me joy

These are things that are sitting on my desk that bring me Joy. But frequently are buried behind stuff on my desk.

So Today I unearthed them and took them out to my studio, I really only wanted the inspirational glass stones, but everything needed dusting so why not photograph them and then concentrate on my idea.
A couple of years ago for a photo challenge group I photographed the inspirational glass stones with some peacock feathers… I liked it so much I used the photo for my phone screen. Today, I felt it was time to rephotograph them especially since I had replaced the peacock feathers this last month.

This is similar to what I shot a couple of years ago but different because I now have more feathers… and a studio area to work in. From this basic shot I began to add things.

I started simple with dried bracken ferns and pine needles. things that bring me joy in the forest.

Then I added a little chartreuse moss that brightens up a drab juniper forest.

Added some fairy lights

Then got some closer shots.
My plan for these shots are, to pick a few of them have them printed by a local printer into Notecards, and eventually try to sell them on Ebay.
It all starts with an idea from things that bring me Joy
