Photo Montage

This weekend I spent some more time practicing in Photoshop. 
I don't think I'm as happy with these as I was my two previous photo montages in this post,
but I thought I'd share them anyway.  After all, it's about sharing the experience, 
and improving right?

Have a great week.

I simply love photoshop ~ the possibilities are endless aren't they? A person really does have to sit down and play with it.

Looks like you are creating so many beautiful photos ~ good for you Becca!

They're beautiful Becca. I just got photoshop but haven't even dared to play around. I ended up getting a Nikon D90. I absolutely love it but am terrified of it at the same time. Thanks for asking.

Wow...so pretty these montages. I too am in the process of learning PS. I like it, but have to step away when I get frustrated. I'm sure this is a lot of work and I like how you're combining the different elements.

This is really amazing, Becca! Montages are the hardest part of Susan's class and your results are really fantastic! I hope to get round to try it on my own photos, too! Have a wonderful week!

I don't know anything about photoshop but I'm sure it requires much patience-these are lovely and I like how you have used an image of your mother, it makes them very personal.

Both of your photos turned out terrific! You keep right on playing with photoshop! I signed up for the skinny mini at Kim Klassen Cafe and learned how much I have to learn!

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the...

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

It's a Crochet Thing….

Image
Hi friends!   Well, I said I'd be back with some crochet stuff I've been working on,  I just didn't think it would take me so long.  So, I found this cute coaster pattern on line that uses "jute"  and yarn. They were easy to make, and the yarn adds so much to them,  don't you think?   Look at the back, I think even the back looks interesting!  Click  HERE  for the link if you want to make these.  I've been working on this afghan for a while now.  I love it because the squares have been pretty  easy to make even while watching TV.  The colors remind me of the blue hydrangeas I love so much!  Finally, I've been going nuts about adding crocheted edgings on things.  I made a couple of tea towels for gifts, and I'm still  working on more of these.  Don't you just love ticking fabric?  Well, there ya ha...
