Scanner art by Craig Cramer, gardening & more
My monthly efforts with plants and a cheap scanner.
I know, bloom day isn’t until Tuesday. But I had some time on my hands last night to work on these and time tonight to post them. Sorry to jump the gun. Holler if you want IDs. There are some weird things in there.

Some folks have commented that they like the old-timey effect of my bloom day scans. That’s not intentional, I assure you. It’s due to using a crummy hand-me-down scanner and not having good imaging software on my home machine.
I took yesterday’s scan to work with me today and adjusted it with PhotoShop to try to get the colors closer to what the flowers actually looked like.
This is an improvement, but the bleeding heart still isn’t near as vibrant as it is in real life.
This month’s installment. It’s getting to be a little much for a single platenful.
Update [5/15/2008]: See new and improved version above.
Mostly small stuff from outside fleshed out with some florists cyclamen from the kitchen windowsill. Larger view [700K].
And this abstract work I call Cleaning the platen.
