Faces in the Forest
StellaLuna and I (aka Me) love to go on hiking adventures in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. While we hike we look for faces in the trees (they tend to hide). When we spy one, I'll take a picture of it. StellaLuna likes to pose with them if she can, but some of the faces are high up in the trees. She says she can talk to the tree beings. She likes to tell me what they are saying since humans don't know how to listen to them anymore, but I think she's making it up. Here she’s with her new friend Stumpy and according to her he really likes the hat I gave him.

The Pareidolia Forest (a photo book with words)
Using some of the photos of StellaLuna with her forest friends, we wrote a short story (based on a true story) called The Pareidolia Forest.You can check out the free to read version (with photos) by clicking on the link below..

Silhouettes
For some of the-photos I’ll use the graphics program Freehand to create a silhouette, to frame the photograph with, to accentuate what we saw. I turn these into high quality 8x8 photo prints. You can see the collection of silhouettes I created so far on my flicker page, by clicking on the link below. If you like to buy one I sell them for $25 plus shipping. If you order 5 or more they are $20 each. Contact me at
tjgames.com@live.com if you are interested.

Face Gems
One of the ways I like to share my pareidolia art is by attaching small prints of the silhouettes to
cabochons and then place them randomly while I go about my day. I call them "face gems." Did you find one? I love to know where it ended up. Email me a message at tjgames.com@live.com (Please include a photo if you would.) I'm also active in the Facebook group

Art-o-mat
One of the ways I sell my pareidolia art is through
Art-o-mat, which are old cigarette vending machines that have been converted into art, and now sell art that can fit in a box the size of a pack of cigarettes. I am one of the many artists who have their art in an
Art-o-mat. Currently I sell my art three different ways through Art-o-mat. If you happen to buy one of my pieces I would love to hear where it ended up. Email me a message at tjgames.com@live.com (Please include a photo if you would.)

Note: A real Art-o-mat machine is much bigger
than the mini one in the picture.
