Mission #10: Make a cup of tea and follow the color saturation of the
water.
This mission was a little daunting for me. I don't drink tea, don't keep it in the house. And I wasn't sure how I was even going to complete the mission.
On a trip to the grocery store at the beginning of the week, I threw a box of fruit teas into the cart. I figured that A) they'd be colorful and B) maybe they'd taste good.
As it turns out, I was right on both.
It wasn't until Friday night that I actually tackled the mission at hand. I let my little guy choose the color (deciding that since I had waited so long that I had better just go simple). And while he ate his supper, I snapped pictures. I decided to use Hipstamatic (of course) and let it choose random settings. I also decided to do a mix of "normal" shots and some abstract shots.

Mission accomplished! As I saved the shots to my laptop, I couldn't help but think that there was a pop art/Andy Warhol feel to some of them. I can imagine them being in a collage, grouped in four, and all the colors changed and emboldened. I started playing with that notion, got distracted, changed my mind, and then came up with this shot which I think is kind of cool:

Now, I sit back, coffee safely in hand and bags of tea tucked away. My brain is off wondering if I could paint with the remaining tea...use it as sort of an organic watercolor paint...
My brain is also wondering what the next mission will be. What new challenge will be presented...
Wow! Nichole! I'm impressed! Especially love Motivated as it looks like a swimmer doing butterfly strokes! And yes, Storm of Negativity is AWESOME! Great job!
