A photograph of a top down view of a whole wheat loaf of sourdough dough sitting in a lump on a heavily flowered green counter. Due to how it came out of the proofing container, it appears the pile of dough has two small eyes and a diagonally slashed mouth of a straight line lightly carved into its surface, thus giving the dough the appearance of a disappointed looking face

A photograph of a mediocre looking Monstera with at least one happy shiny new green leaf. This new leaf seems to have a small tear in it as is common in Monstera leaves. All the rest of the leaves on the plant are fairly dark green, a little bit dusty, and a full heart shape with no tears. For the record, I’m not sure what the correct term for is, but when I say tear, I mean the space created in a Monstera leaf that is not the full shape.
A photograph taken of two cats who are both facing away from the camera in alignment in such a way that their heads and bodies create a line in perspective away from the camera. Presumably, they are aligned this way because they are lying on the photographer’s outstretched legs. The cats are sitting on a white blanket on a green couch and what is presumably a living room.

Photograph of image shows six cards which have different images printed on them with turmeric and the sun. The original turmeric Inc. is not applied to the paper very cleanly or evenly creating a messy framework. The turmeric ink is set with sprayed baking soda, which creates a sepia tone, due to the spraying of the baking soda there are also patchy gray colors on some images . The images have almost an old Timey historical feel . From top left to right across the rows, first two prints are of mallow flowers, still on the branch. Second row shows a print of an ornate glass sample and lines of clothes pins.. final row is an abstract image of strips of paper and rubber bands, and the final card is another mallow branch with flowers and buds
