Jake

This is my favorite subject - Jake. He is the sweetest boy there is!

On-line fun!

I've been taking an on-line class with Cindy Powell at AnArtistsWorkshopRetreat. It's learning how to use Photoshop Elements. This was a photo I took a while ago - just so-so.

Then I put it through it's paces and shazam! So, I couldn't leave well enough alone....


I printed it out on transparency, used alcohol inks, mounted on a wallpaper backing, used copper tape, used more alcohol inks, added iridescent pearl, silver and copper. It looks so much better in person.


If you're interested, I have listed it on etsy.

Frozen Ice Boating?

Very surprised to see folks ice skating and ice boating on the river Sunday. Why you say? Because the river wasn't all frozen and the temperature was about 50. The first shot is at about 2pm. Can you see where the ice ends? The next one was about 4.30pm. Look at the melt on the ice. There is no way I would've been out there!

Been Listing on Etsy

You have no idea how much stuff to sell that I've been making. When I get home after work, I sit at my desk and watch TV, surf the net and make jewelry. The hardest part is getting them listed. I also have loads of photos, ledgers, old correspondence, game pieces, etc. They are all like my children - hard to let go. I guess its my new years resolution to start listing and to start blogging again.

Wow - has it been that long?

I've had major issues with my computer - I really hate when that happens! I've been busy with my new favorite - making jewelery. I just put a new necklace on etsy... please take a look. Here is a photo.

I've been doing alot with beads and my soldered pieces. I just can't sit still - always have to be doing something. And not being able to play backgammon on-line has been killing me. Stayed tuned - I will upload more soon.

Feeling Crabby!

Mix of all kinds of things done digitally of coarse!

Jake The Man

I love my boy Jake and I love to alter, so here he is! Jake the man.

Butterfly Sky

My latest digital with all my photos and a little paint shop pro thrown in!

Stormy

This church is a photo I took and altered. The background is something I made a long time ago with embossing powder, ink and photo paper (so it melted a bit) and of coarse its altered. Love to alter!

Choices! Choices!

What shall I pick? is my newest digital. A little mix of all sorts of bits and pieces make up a cute little collage. Which one would you pick?

Fortune Cookie Message Generator

I saw this on Lisa Vollrath's site... I can see how this could be a fun image to play with! See it here.

Make it Monday - Fairy Girl!

Lisa's picked a fun challenge this week. You've seen this little girl before (she is my favorite) and I added one of my flower photo and made some leaves too. And of coarse it's digital!

Carmen Miranda she ain't

Poor Aunt Mary Bush. And she thought she looked fabulous! Just found out that this photo is now the new home page for the month of August for Altered Cab Cards. What a surprise!

Solitary

This is new - three of my photos that have been altered and altered and altered...

And now for something different!

This was a lesson in transparency. I am amazed at just what this program will do! This is "At the Beach".

Variations on a theme

I tried to do something different, but kept a lot of the same elements. This one I call "memories".

Digimation Challenge

Just joined a new group specifically for digital artists. This works better for me since I don't have to use anyone's collage sheets and everyone is digital. The group is Digimation and they have a terrific group of artists. The August challenge is "hope", and this is my entry. What do you think?

Sisters digital collage

Here is my latest digital. This sure is fun. Hard to think I used to use a pair of scissors!

Go Make Something Monday - Green

Here is this weeks challenge. The bunny and the flowers are my photographs. The flowers weren't very sharp to start, so they have a very soft look to them. Much different from my vintage collages?

Time flies when you're having fun

This is my latest digital collage. Still learning how to use my program but I think it's getting much better. What do you think?
