Wednesday Wonders ~ Cat Ludwig Studios

Wandering through Cat Ludwig's photo studio on Etsy feels like a stroll through the streets and gardens of her hometown...warm and friendly and full of beautiful architecture, flowers and and distinctive visual delights! She captures light and pattern in a uniquely creative way, helping her audience believe they are with her, seeing what her intuitive eye also sees.

Cat describes her search for her subjects as a treasure hunt...and treasures she has found!

Cat is not only a talented photographer, as a person she is encouraging and generous...I am inspired by her and happy to name her among my etsy friends!

Cat's garden photographs are simply beautiful and fill me with flower-love!

New Hoops!

Check out some new hoops I listed in my etsy shop this week! I've been spending so much time in the garden, all else has been on the back burner, sooooo....today I'm attending to Wild Woman business! I LOVE the teal and red mix in the earrings above. They are the only pair unless I can find some more of these pretty matte red lucite beads. The white and seafoam green are a cool classic for summer!

Recently I discovered Picasa, free software used to manipulate and work with photos. Maybe I've been living on another planet but I have never encountered it before and it is absolutely amazing! It's been so much fun, I've made new banners for both my Esty and Zibbet shops....hmmmmm....maybe a new photo for 'reserved' items...and a new gift certificate...between 'fixing' my photos and making treasuries and keeping the shops current, my husband thinks the computer is just another of my very attractive (I must say) body parts...(heeheeehehe) Happy Friday all....have a great weekend!
