Yaya! I am very happy with my last photo for the 30 Day Macro Challenge put together by Karin at Orange Flower.I was a bit nervous when I started - as I always am about sharing my artwork - but found a lot of encouragement from comments via my blog and flickr that inspired me to trust myself. I really enjoyed learning, sharing, and pushing myself to look at things differently. I will continue sharing images like these - it is too fun to stop.

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments people have left on my blog and flickr they really mean the world to me. :)


The last one! I love this, especially how the countertop blue turned out.

This is an old Litehouse Salad dressing jar that I re-used to hold my Q-tips. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Illustration Friday - Wrinkles

A quick idea for this week's topic. I have always liked the wrinkles on pig's snouts.

Thanks for visiting and I look forward to reading your comments :) Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Lots of green in my recent photos! But I'm definitely not complaining, all the green cheers me up. Only a few more photos left.

Eek! :)

It was a gorgeous weekend here. We went to the dog park - toting my camera along, of course - and snapped this photo. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

I have been eying this fence for a while during my walks and finally decided to take a picture of it. When I was finding the right angle I noticed the Rhody flowers peeking through and was so happy I had waited and caught this image when they were in bloom - amongst the muted wood fence and subtle moss they really pop! I also really like the hardware in the fence. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

I found the missing piece! :) Found this laying on the sidewalk near the flower bed I was taking photos of. It's one of my favorite shots. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

I took a little walk today and got some great macro shots to share. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Happy Earth Day!

I always want to lay on a lush bed of moss like this.. nature's carpet - it is the best!


I hope everyone had a beautiful Earth day.

I don't have much time tonight to share what I wanted to on this post. But since I strongly believe every day is Earth Day I will just share them over the next few days and continually on this blog whenever I come across them. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

I liked this macro photo for the angle and the reflection in the glass. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Bunny in a Skirt

A quick doodle I found on a scrap piece of paper and thought I would work on that during my lunch break at work. I am thinking of using this for a greeting card. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

I loved the texture of this post and the old metal letter. Which also plays into Blog Catalog's theme of the month - Letters. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

My new Shinzi Katoh bag. I love close up shots of fabric and the illustration just makes me happy!

My photo assistant decided he wanted to make a cameo appearance in one of the photos. Think he did the trick? (ha!) He completely covered the monkey! Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Illustration Friday - Save

Save our beautiful earth by making changes - big or small - and spread the word.

Earth Day is April 22, but really every day is earth day for all of us. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

This is probably my favorite sentimental "knick knack" in my house. I have loved her and played with her since I was a little girl. She is a bell made of clay in Puerto Rico and has moved around with me many times. Her neck broke years and years ago - but with lots of love she is mended and sits proudly on my living room shelf.

A flurry of white flowers on a sunny day. I was tempted to crop out the house and sky in the background to make this photo have more direct focus, but it really lost something when I did. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

A little different feel than my previous photos, but I thought it was interesting all the same. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

My 2 cents: I love the gorgeous green and the sweet lady bug's complementing color. The little fuzzies (for lack of a better word) on the leaf are cool to see.

I am REALLY enjoying this project. It is a nice break from illustration – don't get me wrong I love drawing/illustrating, but it is always nice to mix it up. I might skip a few Illustration Fridays to take a break and enjoy this challenge.

Luckily, the weather has been gorgeous here, though I believe it is due to change back to our normal rainy and overcast weather. Boooo! Tweet Follow @kellymedina
