I've had an idea for a new photography project. Unfortunately, the garden table I've used for a few of my previous projects has seen better days, so I've had to sand it down before giving it a fresh coat of paint. DIY definitely isn't my forte! 🤦‍♀️

It was my birthday a couple of days ago! I went on a short trip to the seaside in Exmouth and had such a lovely day. ☀️

Went to an Alanis Morissette gig a recently. She was fantastic and gave an incredibly strong vocal performance! Seeing such an iconic artist from the 90s felt like witnessing a piece of pop culture history. I can’t claim to be a longtime fan but it was a privilege to see her perform nearby.

It's too hot for anything other than a camisole at the park. My dog isn't a fan of the weather and demanded to be carried. 🐶☀️😂

I had a few peel-apart film photographs which were taken at the seaside in Exmouth a few years ago published in Moonlit Getaway last summer. #polaroid #expiredfilm #filmphotograpy #vintagefilm #analogue

It’s a wonderful day here, so I took a short trip to the park with my dog. 🐶

Here is another photograph from the series: #Polaroid #peelapartfilm #vintagephotography #artphotography #art #analogue

A heavily blue Polaroid image depicts glass bottles and bell jars on a table, along with some butterflies and feathers, which are partially obscured by dense cyan colouration. The photographic surface appears cloudy and worn, with visible chemical marks and an irregular border. A bench is faintly visible behind the table.

Here is another photograph from the series: #polaroid #filmphotography #analoguephotography #vintagefilm

A peel-apart Polaroid photograph shows two glass bottles on a table, as well as a bell jar, rendered in green-blue tones. Small yellow light leaks appear on the image surface. The photograph shows chemical drift and soft focus, with frayed edges framing the scene.

Here is another photograph from the series:

A cyan-toned Polaroid photograph shows white lilies arranged in a glass bottle on a table. The image surface is uneven, with chemical streaking and torn edges visible. A wooden bench appears faintly in the background.

Here is one of the images from the series (taken on Polaroid 669 film). #polaroid #peelapartfilm #vintagefilm #analoguephotography

A green-blue Polaroid image shows several glass bottles on a table, one holding feathers. One butterfly is visible under a bell jar; another appears on the tablecloth. The image appears faded and speckled, with visible chemical residue and torn edges. Background elements are softened and partially obscured.

A photograph of peel-apart film cameras, captured on 35mm film. Their clunky design is part of their appeal for me. #analogue #vintagephotography #vintagefilm #filmcameras #peelapartfilm

Spring sunlight and green spaces make everything a little lighter.

Royal Mail lost a handmade clay item I posted via recorded delivery, spent two months investigating, then compensated me with £13 worth of stamps and a letter saying, “I hope you are happy with the outcome.” Reader, I was not. 📮

Ellena D@eld208· Jan 16

I made this little resin turtle with shell fragments and semi-precious stones, and I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. I also made a sea-themed coaster using resin and black sand. I’ve been finding crafting really helpful for unwinding lately. #crafting #resin
