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

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

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

I've finally caught the cold bug that everyone seems to have been getting. But this photo cheered me up. 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

First photo of the Macro photo challenge. I thought this looked like shag carpet fibers up close. Tweet Follow @kellymedina
