New Etsy listings


I have been busy working at my Etsy shop.  I carved out some time this past weekend to update my listings and rearrange my items. I think I am finally beginning to get the mix of photographs, cards, and crafts that I have wanted to do, with the shop. I have been slowly working away at this, but it takes time, so I have learned to work at it in bits and pieces. I'm getting there, slowly. 

Here are two new listings I have added.

Enchanted Woods


Enchanted Woods


When my mother was alive and we would go for walks together, she would often point out faces she would see in the objects that we would pass.  Now I find I do the same thing with my son on our walks together. I like to think of this as the three of us going for walks together  - myself, my son, and my Mom, in spirit, walking beside us.

Can you see the face and the shapes in this tree trunk? Feel free to comment - I am interested in what you see.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Once again, I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. More and more it seems I just turn around and a month has gone by. I have been busy, both in 'real life' and my 'online life'. 

I have rewritten my biography for my site at http://marilyn-wilson.artistwebsites.com/ , with a few modifications for the Etsy shop.

Born and raised in Victoria, B.C., photography has been an interest of mine since my early teen years. In this beautiful area of Canada, surrounded by trees, mountains, and the ocean, I am drawn to photographing the natural and scenic landscapes of Vancouver Island. Lines, shadows, textures, reflections, and architectural details also interest me. Add to this mix the photos I have taken while travelling, plus the animal images I love to take, and I have quite a variety of photographs. I have learned to experiment with different styles and techniques of photography, and I am learning to see the world in different ways. I am rarely without a camera and I can always find something to photograph.
Most of my photos are as unretouched as possible, with little or no post-processing added. I do, however, enjoy playing with the different textures and effects that computer software programs can provide. I can spend many happy hours lost in creativity this way, changing this effect, and tweaking that texture, until the original photograph has evolved into something more.
I enjoy photography, and I hope this enjoyment of my hobby is conveyed to you through my images.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me and to visit my site.
As this site is continually growing and changing, please come back again.
