A moss-covered metal cannon mounted on a wall fills the foreground, with a quiet street behind it featuring a green bicycle with a plaid seat and pale buildings under an overcast sky
Someone installed a historic weapon system just to supervise a quiet alley and one very polite bicycle

The Book of Hearth Magic part 2 (WiP): a found object sculpture in a book of three shelves. Part 1 is on the left, has a translucent purple background, and the shelves are filled with small bottles of natural objects. Part 2 is on the right, and has a yellow-green translucent background with sprays of bronze metallic paint on the wood, but no bottles or objects yet. The sculpture is photographed with light from behind, to highlight the colours in the back.

Part 2 of The Book of Hearth Magic is painted and ready for the pieces as they’re found. I plan to join them (maybe hinged; haven’t decided).
(We were out all day doing stuff far from home.)
A vertical street photograph focusing on the base of a weathered wooden utility pole and a weathered metal standpipe on a patch of dry grass. The metal pipe is marked with black graffiti lettering that reads vertically. In the foreground, a pair of crumpled navy blue boxer shorts with a grey "Hanes" waistband lies discarded on the grass. The image uses a shallow depth of field, with the discarded clothing in sharp focus against the slightly blurred, industrial textures of the wood and metal. The composition captures a gritty, overlooked moment of urban detritus, highlighting the contrast between the permanence of the utility structures and the transience of the personal item left behind.
Walking past. This tableau caught my eye. Out in the open…was somebody “pants-ed”? Is the tag related?

Green box out in nature.
Industrial moss meets tangled branches.
This utility box looks like a silent observer waiting for the woods to reclaim it.
I love how man-made objects clash with the wild. A quiet kind of harmony.

A colour photo of a purple-backed miniature 3-shelf box (about 14 inches high, 5 inches wide), standing upright on plain paper. To the lower right, a collection of corked glass bottles filled with nature finds from my garden/woods. A pair of tweezers in bottom left. Background is my floor, and the mat in front of the door to the deck. This will be a found object sculpture.

This… will be a found object sculpture. Soonish. The paint is drying.

Recipe.
Someone lost their shopping list.
Pizza flour, iceberg, tomato, ajvar, dressing.
I found a photograph instead.
The best subjects are the ones nobody else stops for.

Missing: one navy blue glove.
Left behind on a cold pavement.
A small mystery.
Who dropped it — and did they notice?

Found this little guy while cleaning out my office — a Fujifilm FinePix J38.
12.2 megapixels of CCD goodness.
No hype. No presets. Just that early digital color science.
This is going to be fun to play with.

Some small pieces of metal and plastic found along the road have been laid out to resemble a strange looking figure wearing a hat.
Small pieces of metal and plastic found along the road have been embroidered together onto a brown background to create a figure wearing a green hat. He will be cut out and placed on a different background.
Found some trash along the road. Made a caretaker for an estate. No glue used. All hand embroidered. I did add some beads, a brooch and a bit of broken chain. #foundobjects #artsky
