Theme ; Challenge The Three Muses / ZETTI




I tried to approach this style but to be honest..It's not my kind of thing.
I do NOT mean that I don't like it but somehow it's just not me.
This picture was such a struggle, it took me hours AAARGG and when I finally finished I realized that we had to add a famous person !! Whaaahaaa.
Well, I'm sure you will forgive me LOL
PHEW DONE :)
CREDITS

All the rest ispersonal and YEP painted by myself ! YEAHHH I did it.

Theme ; challenge Take A Word / SEPIA
My entry for this week. "The human body defies gravity".
It must feel as heavy as a brick :)

And my final result; a digital journal page,

Credits ; Mostly images from my latest collage sheets
Tassels are from Jaguarwoman

Theme ; Challenge The Three Muses / ORIENTAL

Inspired by the art of *STROODY (Bob deviantart), JAGUARWOMAN and the summer gardens of MELKOR, I decided to make my own premade background.
It's not so difficult as it seems, the only thing you need is time and patience :)

CREDITS:
First I searched for relevant images on the Internet !!

Okay, that took me an hour or so :)
Then it was playtime !!! (you can CLICK to Enlarge.)
Printscreens "WORK IN PROGRESS"

You see ?
Did I say to much ?
I'ts realy possible to create these premade backgrounds by yourself and perhaps you want to try it once. As you wish you can grab this
FREE PNG COLLAGE SHEET with most of the elements I've used.
TO DOWNLOAD
Click TWICE on the picture to get a larger image!!
Right click and "save to" your computer. SUCCES !!

OOPS...almost forgot to mension...The POSER found Here
and the Cherry Tree PNG Here

Theme ; Challenge Take A Word / FLIGHT
My thoughts took me along on this....F-light :)
Fly away from the Light to an uncertain future.
***********************************
I came to this idea because I wanted to practise word-art
in a more striking way.
And ! Because I discovered this website ! http://www.designfreebies.org/
Mostly I use my own textures or images to create (with a clippingmask) my word-art but when I found these fractal and abstract styles,
my greed took over :)
I had to download and instal them into my PS version. So easy !!

Yesterday...Johan went to camp with the scouts for one week.
Today...Mama would have celebrated her 86th birthday but now we all go visit her grave. We received the news that the tombstone was ready
just intime !!
Precisely at this moment...I control this post before publishing and suddenly realise that the letter F (from Flight) could symbolize Mom who's flying away ! My subconscious took over :)

Theme ; Challenge TheThreeMuses / I'VE BEEN STEAMPUNKED!!
Ann asked; "to choose a recognizeable character" !
Well I wonder if you still recognize my famous lady on this piece :)

Today I've upload, special for BEGINNING DIGITAL CRAFTERS,
two new vintage collage sheets to design your own striking scenery.
My goal is to show how easy it can be to design your own detailed images with just a few clicks in your editing program and perhaps this two (cheap !) collage sheets can stimulate or encourage you to take a first step into the digital world.

No difficult techniques are necessary to achieve a design as the sample above.
Just use your fantasy and try to imagine a scene from the Victorian era.
As always you can click on the images for a closer look.
Enjoy !
