This is my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art Challenge where the theme is "Magic". A Book of Shadows is a magical compendium of spells and charms that is passed on from generation to generation. Part herbal lore, part myth with a mixture of science and nature - a journal of observations and beliefs. My spell caster is from (e-vint.com), book is clip art from (Stampington)- I added old script and gradient hues. Postal stamps from (Provo craft) and raven image is from (Dover).

This IS magcal--and fascinating. I love the symbolism in all of your work, but the magical and mystical pieces are my favorites. This is so deep and rich.
ReplyDeleteYes Lori this is magic.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful interpretation. Loev this one.
I love this - it is so pretty. Im inspired to Try to create a digital image, however, I need special software dont I?
ReplyDeleteAm I able to do something like this with the software that came installed on my MacBook? I think it's called iPhoto - presumably that is Not what you use.
Suggestions that won't break the bank? I am loathe to pay a jillion dollars for Adobe Photoshop.
Any advice is welcome because I really want to try out digital collages!
