The Butterfly man…

I’m definitely going through a strange, busy and ultimately satisfying phase at the moment. The strange is that I am not blogging quite as often, not taking part in as many challenges; the busy is that I am taking 2 classes at the same time… Quinn MacDonald’s Raw Art Journalling  and Shwe Khit’s digital art class, Sweetened Simplicity. These 2 are pretty much polar opposites – Quinn’s being more physical, writing words, creating art in a more traditional way – and Shwe is both a traditional and a digital artist, from whom I am learning some of the finer points of Photoshop creativity. So – a complete journey of discovery!

The ultimately satisfying phase is what I am able to do when I combine those two… Here’s another image transfer and I struggled with him. The image was taken from a glossy Resort guide, which was very high quality and very difficult to work with. I only got him to show up because I am wily and persistent (and I hate waste!!). So here’s the “before” pic:

And, now, using the inspiration of the “story” guidelines to the left, and some of the tools I have discovered recently…

For Take a Word this week…

And now I must go do the “real-life”, mundane stuff of life!! 🙂
