Playing Indoors

This weekend, the weather has been very windy and overcast.  It feels so much cooler than the 70 degree temperatures we were experiencing last week.
  
I think Mother Nature is laughing at me, because last week I put away all my winter clothes and hung up my spring and summer clothes.  I think I rushed things a bit, because now I'm cold!  

I've been taking Susan Tuttle's Photomanipulation class online.
Since it wasn't a good weekend to play outside, I spent some time on the computer, in my sweat pants and sweatshirt drinking hot tea and working on my Photoshop skills.

I've seen so many beautiful and inspiring digital collages that I've always wanted to learn more about it.

Here are a couple, (yes only a couple, they took me forever! LOL ) of my attempts at digital collage.

Thanks for dropping by.  I always enjoy reading your comments and chatting with you.

I'm linking up to Lisa Gordon's


Head over there to see some more creative photos. 


Now, I am off to make another cup of tea and get ready for dinner, tonight we're making chili! :-)

That's pretty nifty! I love the bird on a wire - it took me a second to see the man in the moon. Both pics made me smile.

These are amazing Becca!!
You are a true artist!!

I wish you could be in my yard in the morning...I cannot believe the singing of birds and there is an eagle family living across the road in the open field. Every morning I see the mom in the tree and the dad was swooping down at something! It is so nice to feel spring!!
There is also a rabbit in my yard that is enormous!! I have also noticed around the island black rabbits!!
Hope your weekend was great and enjoy that chili yum!

Becca - These are just fantastic, and I'll bet they surely DID take a bit of time to do!! They are surely beautiful, but I also love the fact that you can see just how much work went into each of them.

Thank you so much for sharing these at The Creative Exchange this week!

Have a wonderful rest of the day, and try to enjoy your "coolish" weather. We got 3 inches of snow this morning. I would love coolish!! :-)

Looks like you are well on your way to becoming a PhotoShop master. Nicely done. PhotoShop has such a high learning curve, but it's sooooooo addicting.
These are SO wonderful, Becca! I love them! The Nevada Bird on a Wire is pure whimsy... So fun you are taking this class! I'd like to take one like this soon, too!
Georgianna said…
Great job, Becca! I especially like the first one.

Sitting at the computer in sweats – yes, that's how most of my days are spent.:) – g
