Strawberry Planter

I bought a crochet strawberry bag a few back in Northern Thailand for the grand total of 40p and decided I would utilise it as a planter (Its a wee bit small for me to fit my phone you see).

The bag and succulent plant

I was in town this morning and came across this little Succulent plant; I was drawn to its haywire growth and decided that it would look perfect in my little crochet bag.

I had to fold over the bag straps as it would be lopsided when the plant was hung, so I have used a sneaky safety pin to attach the straps to the other side. 

I am so happy with my new little planter, it is in a temporary residence at the moment, hanging on my windows handle. There is a lack of hanging places in my room which saddens me. I am always on the look-out for cute plant receptacles so there may be more of these posts!

Camera Review: Wide Pic Panoramic Lens

I bought this "Wide Pic Panoramic Lens" camera a few months back for £1 in a local charity shop. It was light, bright red and looked very easy to use, so of course I purchased it! I recently processed some film from the camera, and the results were brilliant! I'm so impressed that it works so well. If you can get your hands on one of these and like the spontaneity of film photography, I would definitely say try one out.

It even features a little in-built lens cover at the flick of a switch!

Key features:

• Takes 35mm film
• No flash
• 200iso film is recommended
• "Panoramic" format (a.k.a you have very thin, long photos)

Here are my first photos from the Panoramic camera...

The camera produced a lot of red light leaks across some images, but I find these to be beautiful; I don't know whether it was the camera itself or the film I was using, but I like it!
