This is my entry for The Three Muses challenge this week where the theme is "Numbers". This was a good challenge for me as I rarely use numbers in my art work. When I do choose to use numbers I like them to be subtle and natural for the piece and to not look added on. I used an image from (vintage-spirit) and layered old document and ledger images to give an archival feeling to the piece. I converted the photo to black and white (to get rid of the yellowing) and added pin light and soft light filters for ageing.

This looks fantastic....love the numbers ...I am a numbers/alpha freak:)
ReplyDeleteI love this one, Lori. It is so creative and gob-smackingly gorgeous. The textures you have achieved are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour numbers merge into the whole of the image. I do not see them until I actually look for them. This is an ingenious interpretation.

I can't believe I've been so wrapped up in a project I've been working on, I failed to check your blog for days and days. I love your take on Numbers and I really love it when you use a lot of white/cream in your palette. Wonderful and mystical piece.
