Lost In Love . . .

So the new year has begun and I am having trouble shaking off the difficulties of last year.  I know I need to just move on, start anew but my anxiety is high these days.  I am not sure why.  

The only thing that keeps me focused and calms me down is creating.  I am not sure what I did without it in my life.  I need to get lost in something.  I need to create something from nothing, I need color, grunge, love.  

Yesterday I bought one of those olloclip lenses for my iPhone.  I love macro shots and this little lens clips on your iphone and allows you do shoot macro as well as wide-angle, and fishbowl.  The above image is a macro shot of a very small pendant I wear.  I used snapseed for the altering affects.  

What I loved most about it was getting lost for over an hour in the world of digital art.  

I loved getting lost in love . . .

  3. Love the photo~~you have such a strong eye for finding just the *right* amount through the lens!
    Keep busy with creating; it lets the mind wander peacefully and keeps other things at bay.

    XXOO~~

  4. I am so with you these days, Cathy! Anxiety is high - not sure why! It might be the time of year or the weather. But, like you, when I create, it all calms down for a while.

    That is one gorgeous photo!!

    Hope you are recovered from the flu!! Love, Silke
