Up Up and Away!


This was a fun challenge at The Three Muses this week and the theme is "Up Up and Away". I couldn't help but hear that "5th Dimension" song playing around in my head! This is a digital collage made up of a scanned background-DCWV decorative paper, a Dover image and a lot of playing around in Photoshop with different gradient hues and layer effects. The balloon is actually a photo I took of a balloon x-mas ornament that I have and erased out the background. The colorful pixels are sort of an accident- that I liked! Thanks again to The Three Muses for wonderful inspiration!

  14. Hi Lori~
    It is so exciting to cruise blogland & then discover someone in your own backyard. Or are you in my front yard? :)
    I had to come see when I saw that the name of your blog was Ravenpainting. I have a DEEP connection to Raven.
    Your work is incredible!
    Now I must go & explore your blog further since I looked over at the title of your blog posts & am drawn in....
    Much Light~
