Can you see better through the eye of a camera?





Photography can be an expensive hobby, I'm going to tell you because if you are interested I want you to be prepared to make some hefty investments...
On that note, it's also worth every single penny! Have you ever had a word on the tip of your mouth but forgot it at the last moment, well that won't happen in photography because anything that you want to remember is just a snap away.


I love to take pictures, its a hobby I got from my dad and it's something that him and I use to bond over. Him and I both love the ocean and share many free spirited ideas such as underwater photography. National Geographic has a beautiful display of underwater photos that will blow you away.

SPIN!






Alright guys, last week was sand art this week we're changing projects. Spin art is this weeks topic, also known as blotting. It's an invigorating project. I tried it before and I was infatuated with how free I felt after, I was instantly caught up in the mess and splendor of it all. Try for yourself heres what you'll need:
salad spinner (or a spin art machine)
bottles of paint (washable tempera)
small paper plates 6"

What You Need:
I set my salad spinner on a table in front.
Pick 3 colors and pour them onto the paper plate that you have placed into the spinner. Then you get to spin!
You'll have such fun! No one knows what the outcome will be until I lift the top off of the spinner and then the ooohs and ahhhs begin!
These turn out beautifully!
