Daily Dog Challenge 1306. "Ready For My Closeup"

From the movie "Sunset Boulevard", the full quote is: "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up". Show us you and your dog's interpretation of some aspect or all of that famous line!

#7 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Move Quote list.

Fun with the iPad Fingerpaint Magic App...

Fingerpainting
As with all images on my blog, click on image to see larger

Hard to believe how easy and fun it was to create that.

I give the app, which is free, two big thumbs up.

I splurged and spent $0.99 on the in-app upgrade to get more colors and brushes, and that was also worth it. (Seriously, for just a dollar how could it NOT be worth it?)

Zachary sported something a bit different...

... but I had him positioned a bit too far to the side and he exceeded the length of my backdrop.

(sigh)

Henry, modeling a knitted collar with a Woven pattern Around his neck.

I really enjoyed making this colorful collar, and knitting cables in general.

Zachary's is a braid from three separate beaded i-cords, which was also fun to do.

Today was one of those days.

I've had this guy for 20 years or so.

I have no idea what you are supposed to do with him, but he sits atop an old index card box on my desk and glowers at me most handsomely.

The ice cream dish was one of a dozen used to hold small flower arrangements at our (Hubby, that is) wedding reception, ~28 years ago.

Behind the Scenes


Here's the basic setup...

Henry!

The ice cream dish is held vertically in a sauce pan by a pair of small bean bags.

The camera is positioned 3-5" away from to the dish for most shots, except the one above where it was far enough away that you could see the setup.
