“Cockadoodle Cluck”

This was a bit of fun for The Three Muses challenge this week… and you can probably tell that I’m well into “Strictly Come Dancing” again this year!! I’m especially fond of the extremely eccentric, but lovely, Claudia Winkelman, host of SCD: It Takes Two… bizarre and very fun half hour, behind-the-scenes look at the [...]

Long ago…

Lovely challenge from The Three Muses this week – “long ago… and oh so far away…” just like the Carpenters song. Talk about flights of fancy! I chose to go digital because I am simply too full of cold/flu to go upstairs and get creative with paints, paper, etc. So, next best thing, I used [...]

Spreading my art wings

Inspire me Thursday – “Winged Things”… I couldn’t resist playing with one of my painted backgrounds in digital form. I just added a few googled butterflies and brief text, et voila!

Isn’t that pretty? I’ve also written my first Studio blog post on my ArtFire Studio Blog this evening! Yes, those great people at ArtFire have [...]

Taking liberties…

All for the sake of The Three Muses “Give me a head of hair!”

Well, the head of hair is a tree from Dover, cropped to fit his head. The leaves are Photoshop brushes in autumn colours. The fancy brush bottom right is from a blogger who wrote a fab tutorial on making your own PS [...]

“Angels with dirty faces”

The Three Muses is one of the most fun challenge blogs in Blogland (IMHO!). Anything goes, every week and they have such a great sense of fun that it’s a real pleasure to take part. I try not to miss it!!
This week’s challenge is “Wings on Things”… I’ve made this digital collage, using winged inchies [...]

Inspirational people

This week’s theme at The Three Muses is to use people who inspire you in your artwork… and I couldn’t think of a more fitting subject:

The main man in these pics is my DH, my best friend and soulmate. You don’t have to tell me how lucky we are to have found each other – [...]

Three Muses – Surreal

My idea of “surreal” art is probably that typified by Salvador Dali. However, times have changed and so have I… This one – set by The 3 Muses – got me thinking and subconsciously, I chose these particular images. Consciously, I chose the way I have put them together! Egg-Heads:

I am very grateful to Rian [...]

Just Peachy!

TGIF this week – Sandy’s challenge was very unusual (for me!) and involves “apples, pears and/or peaches”. As I had some website maintenance to get done, I stayed in digi-mode and created this collage, using 20 different layers. I know, that’s a whole lot of layers, even for me!! I also cut images from one [...]

ACF#22

Another gorgeous image provided by the gals at Art Creations Friday today! I have been really good – packed half the kitchen down, been to the Council offices, done a little shopping so we eat over the weekend – so I rewarded myself with an hour or so on Photoshop creating this little digi-piece! I [...]

Easter!

MMM’s theme chosen by Sue this week, is Easter. I have been working over the weekend and packing boxes since last week, so I haven’t had much of an Easter, but I did produce a bit of digital collage with an Easter theme, so this is my entry! I used the image supplied for us [...]
