Comfort and much Joy!
What more can I say than...
RATHER ODD!
Childhood ... Imagine.Imagine….Childhood ... how I made it.
Background: scanned image of a sheet of paper that I rusted, placed a ‘differnce’ filter to change the colour. Used a jagged eraser tool to rough the edges.
Little girl: Scanned image from a children’s story book. Ipod drawn in with fine brush tool.
Pods: made with the ‘eliptical marquee tool’. Added a layer style “bevel and emboss”. Used different brush tools to get the images onto the surface of the Pods. Filter>render>lens flare>zoom onto each pod. Tails of the pods are different brush tools.
In large pod a brush tool “tree” shape was used for dark images, layer copied, flipped vertical and transformed with opacity set at 65% to form a shadow.
Final touch was on background layer, filter>render>lens flare>movie prime, for the blue lines.
Lower left corner .. many clicks with brush tool.
Text: Bleeding cowboy.
This piece was made with many layers, more than 25, so I could have control of what I actually wanted in the image.
Childhood Imagination 4
Same image as Imagine… For this result I used a photoshop Action: Out of Bounds which I download at PanosFX.com I've never tried this before.
It was mentioned on Rian’s blog http://freubel-art.blogspot.com/
that she used for the ‘cube’ to make a recent image…. So I went looking and found a whole manner of stuff on this site… what fun I have had! Thanks, Rian!!
MORTICIA'S GIFT.
I am sure you all know me by now and I like to take the challenge to beyond what is 'normal'(?)!
This is another one of those that just 'tickled my fancy'!
I knew that there would be many 'pretty' works this week.... but how I loved it when MORTICIA from THE ADDAMS FAMILY received her roses and immedialtly cut the blooms off!
Hope it really 'tickles your fancy'!!
Have lots of laughs on me with this one!
RETURN TO SENDER!
THE MOVIE TRIBUNE
Empty Nest!
" Hope it doesn't get to this! 32 December 2513"
CREATURE OF THE NIGHT!
There is nothing I like more than taking a scrap out of a magazine, glue it in my 'art notebook' and scribble over most of it with a black pen! It is MOST satisfying!
ANTICIPATION!!
Me, Myself and I
EMPOWERED. 
Notebook Scribbles!
Have taken a section of a huge piece of work that is in my latest exhibition..... Memory Cloth#12 Numbers Lost.
Leaf Litter!
'From a Grain of Sand...." I chose this as my theme this week as I sometimes think the we come from a grain of sand to return to a grain of sand...(Hope I am not too deep with this analysis!!)
Where in the world is there another consolidated mass of building, like there is in New York!!
Words, letters all flow into one another like a strip of old film!!
As usual, I did not read the caption for this week's challenge!! I went the other way and created this Odd Bird.... my Xray Bird!! Nothing unusual about this creature, other than you very rarely see a bird as unkempt as him!!
Just could not resist this feeling of affections for toadstools in my garden! It just gave me the "AAAAAAHH" feeling!
OOOPS!! not so vintage! Bundled together with an old saftey pin.... wending their way through the atmosphere!
I always image that... all the emails that go missing are out in the cosmos somewhere.... someone will be writing furiously to get them back to us!
"Bubble of Thought"
This image has come from deep in my imagining..... using layers, filters and brushes, Photoshop allowed me the magic of creating what was in my mind for this challenge.
Eurydice .... a Goddess of creation and death....she gives birth to souls, recognising that black is the colour of fertility and all life begins in darkness.
Now!!! this is a challenge that is right up my artistic alley!! I work with rust in all of my art works, using a solution technique that changes the face of paper and cloth and any other stuff that you would like to dip into the solutions!
Just playing with new Photoshop tools late one night when I needed to have some artisitic time!
