Cote d' Azure

This is my entry for the Take A Word challenge where the theme this week is (Beaches). This digital collage is composed of  various vintage posters (graphic 45) along with elements from Finecrafted designs, Google and artistic brushes in Photoshop.

Parchment Notes

This is my entry for the Take A Word challenge this week where the theme is "Insects". I was playing around with alot of color but decided that I really like the clean black and white study for a sense of detail and field note sketchiness for this digital collage.

Birds Of Paradise

Well I had a lot of fun with Toucans and rainforest creatures in these pieces for the Three Muses this week where the theme is "Exotic Birds". I just asked my husband which one he liked best to post and he liked them both so here they are. (He said the top piece would make a great cocktail napkin)- so much for the home critic! Imagery credits go to Beth Rimmer designs and Holliewood at deviant scraps. Tree frog and Toucans were googled. Face image from Dover and background layers of vintage botanica.

Celestial

This is my entry for the Take A Word challenge this week where the theme is "Stars". I took the "Heavenly Body" approach with a cosmic star walker amidst the swirl of the comos. Imagery credits go to Dover, Finecrafted Designs, Holliewood and artistic filters and brushes in Photoshop.

Winesong

This is my entry for the Three Muses challenge this week where the theme is The Written Word.  The image is from Dover and the written word is inspired by a most beautiful love "Poem" or song from the Old Testament/ Torah. Roses from Holliewood at Deviant art and gradient and soft light filters added for depth and age.

Art and Illumination

"Wings " is the theme at the Take A Word challenge this week and I was inspired by label art in making this digital collage. I love old Botanica and the art of illuminated lettering (Celtic) in this case and combined the two here.  Imagery from Dover ,Graphics 45 and Christine Renee.

The Gift

This is my entry for the Collage Obsession challenge "Mermaid". Couldn't help myself from creating a piece with one of my favorite themes. Imagery from Dover, Finecrafted Designs and lots of painting and effects in Photoshop. I learned how to use the Clone Stamp tool in a class that I took recently and it really came into use in this collage. Fun stuff!
