- John Lennon, The Beatles Christmas Record, 1963
It's Round Robin time again, and the topic is "Variety Show", as suggested by Nancy of Nancy Luvs Pix. The idea is to photograph "something that comes in different varieties." I didn't know what I was going to do for this one until about Thursday at work, when I suddenly realized that these oft-used tools fit the criteria:
Pens akimboThat's a little boring, though. Let's rearrange them:
Latticework of pensHmm. Perhaps I should clean them up:
Pens on a tray.Still not terribly interesting. Time to break out the photo editing effects!
"Light marker" and magic mirror" effects, x2There's also a "dark marker" effect. Seems appropriate!
Dark markered highlighters! Kind of an oxymoron!Oh, one more. Pointillism, solarization and negative.
Thursday in the office with pens.And if that's not enough, I can show you these as well: assorted gift bags in a variety of patterns and colors, purchased for 50 cents each from a dollar store that's going out of business. They're rather pretty in their natural colors, which I've boosted just a little below:
Gift bags for all occasionsAw, what the heck. Let's throw some effects over these, too!
Dark marker and solarized, I think!Oh, that'll do. They're only pens and bags, after all, not High Art! But I've had fun getting artistic with them.

Now go see what a variety of photos the other Robins are posting this weekend!

Very clever, the edits of pens! I like Pointillism, solarization and negative. Now that is how they get that look! Thanks for sharing..TJ

You had fun with the pens. That cool. I like all the effects.
I like the bags that have been edited. Looks like you had fun with this.
I think you were having a little too much fun with this!
I just remembered I haven't done your Monday Photo shoot yet! ::going to grab the camera::
Would I have liked to had a camera shooting you shooting all those. I will never look at pens and office stuff again, with the same attitude.
Good job!
What awesome creativity you have! You turned something simple and mundane into very interesting art. Great photos!
Pointillism, solarization and negative turned out pretty cool!
Love your photos and the special effects give a lot of variety to mundane items.
Wow, your creativity never ceases to amaze me! So many things you did with pens and bags. I was going to ask you if you were bored that day at work, as the pen thing looks a lot like playing. ;-) Great effects and ways to show variety!!
Nice variety of markers....love the colors & the different effects you used, Karen!
Marie
What an opportunity many of missed with the variety of pens at our desk! I like how you had fun with this!
Monica
Very colorful. :) The metalic bags are really neat, I like that deep vivid blue, but the gold is nice too. Hmmmm.
You know my obsession with office supplies. Those pen special effects are just marvy. And the colors of those bags take my breath away.
Very creative karen! Who woulda thunk writing utensils could be so pretty!
Nancy
creative idea!
I love the gift bags, don't mind keeping them for myself.

Very creative !! You show that even with "stupid" things you can make artistic pictures !!
Wow, these are really cool! I love the special effects ones. You've turned the ordinary into the wonderful, just like magic. Nice!
You know, I think I liked the ones in the tray best! Simple, but very colorful :-)
