This week's theme was difficult. I decided to make salt crystals from recipes I found for science fair experiments. It didn't work. I had taken photos of the pot I boiled my salt solutions in, but they were ugly. So I made the photos into kaleidoscopes and amazing circles. Then, suffering from mid-winter break boredom, I played with these creations in GIMP. I learned some but not much. I offer them here as my final result. I really look forward to seeing what other people post today!
I used dumpr.net for the amazing circles and krazydad.com for the kaleidoscopes. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for visiting!

Wow! Very creative picture. And beautiful! I was stumped with mine and my twisted train of thought took me to Woodstock.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and unique choice for "salty!"
How creative!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea. Salty wasn't all that easy, was it?
I know what you mean when you mention midwinter break boredom!
I am stuck at home having to wait for my daughter and have been photographing anything that's around ;)
You know they make sugar in different colors... wonder why they don't make salt in different colors... that would make for interesting kaleidoscope pics too. This was a difficult theme.
