Autumn Wonderland

This is my entry for the Collage Obsession challenge to use "mushrooms" in our work. Imagery from Dover books, Sherrie JD at Scrapbookgraphics and Finecrafted designs.  All imagery blended and layered in PSE.

Like Clockwork

This is my entry for the Take A Word challenge this week where "Clockwork" is the theme.  I took this photo in my artroom with a fun new app I put on my smartphone called "Paper Camera" and this wonderful "Andy Warhol" filter is one of the many settings. I was able to download it to my computer, bring it up in Photoshop and enhance a bit and add text.  When you  focus on a subject  this app has the ability to turn the subject into a cartoon like version which I think will be a very creative source for digital work. I believe it is available for both iPhone and Android.  Too cool!

DC Dreaming

In your dreams....We all would love to cut the dashing figure, stay eminently calm in the face of attack or peril, always have the perfect retort to our enemies. Sunday Postcard Art has inspired us to  create a postcard this week using comic book heroes.  I loved comic books as a kid and still do have a great appreciation for the graphic novel as a unique and colorful art form.
 Imagery for this post card are from my Postage Stamp collection and back ground elements from Lorie Davison.

Tattered

This is my entry for the Take a Word challenge "Tattered". Love worn and melancholy; don't we all feel a bit tattered from time to time?

Arabesque

This is my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge this week where "Circus " is the theme. Lots of color and whimsy make a circus come alive for me. Imagery from Rebecca McMeen, Graphic 45, Holliewood and Finecrafted at Deviant Scrap. All imagery  assembled, painted and blended in PSE.

Faerie Stories

This is my entry for the Inspiration Avenue challenge" Faeries". Imagery from Dover books, Finecrafted designs and my own painted background all blended painted and layered in PSE.

Raw Umber

Abundance

Here is my August entry for my" Book of Days" calendar art. Beautiful  and plentiful; apples representing the abundance of the growing summer slowly ripening into Fall.  May we all enjoy these full  and rich summer days to the fullest!
