Pole Star

This is my entry for the challenge at The Three Muses this week "outside the frame/birds".  And a challenge this was!  The wonders of digital art and the tools of Photoshop lend the magic to make fanciful dreams come true.  Layers and layers on top and underneath; outside and in; create a sense of depth and expanding outside the confines of your picture.  Not an easy task but fun!  I learned how to get rid of those dreaded border lines around my art in (advanced settings for blogger template) and I created the piece 12x12 on a complete black background so to fade into the background color of my blog. Hence creating an effect of floating or moving beyond the frame.  Imagery credits go to Dover Books, Beth Rimmer and Hollie at (Deviant scrap) and photoshop brushes.
