Collage Obsession: Pattern Play

This week it's my turn again to host the Collage Obsession challenge (http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/).  The theme I've chosen is "Pattern Play." Participants are challenged to incorporate one or more patterns ("man-made" or natural) in their collages, hopefully using them in some unexpected ways.  Here are my two patterned digital collages:

Collage Obsession: Thanksgiving

This digital collage features my own Zentangle-inspired design and patterned border.  The golden background was provided by Kaylene for this challenge. To all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish you a hearty and happy celebration.

I used the figure from Cezanne's "Harlequin" painting against a background of my own creation. Theater curtains are from Fiddlette Designs; text design is from Anna Corba.

Collage Obsession: Science

We were given a photo of Albert Einstein as inspiration for this challenge. I've made him into an astronaut, using the galaxies for his chalkboard (the astronaut was my idea; the rest was suggested by my engineer husband, Nelson). Image credits: NASA photos, iktupilli, holliewood.

Sunday Postcard Art: Poppies

The theme of poppies is in honor of Veteran's Day (U.S.) and Remembrance Day (British Commonwealth), both observed on November 11.

 

Image credits for this digital collage are: Chinese poppy photo by Ryan Pollack; woman by Stampington; red patterned background image by graphics fairy; border by Hero Arts.

Take a Word: Moonstruck

Marie gave me the honor of hosting the coming week's TAW challenge. My digital collage is shown below. The eye was from original art I painted in Golden fluid acrylics; the celestial background is from Google images; the moon is from paperrelics; and the heart is from Photoshop elements. The star digital brushes are from obsidian dawn.

Three Muses: Windows

 

 

As often happens to me, I completed this collage and then found the quote that seems to fit it perfectly. Image credits: holliewood, flickr creative commons (pareerica), irene alexeeva.

Collage Obsession: Black Cat

Here's a very pampered black cat. Image credits: google, milla, flickr creative commons (pareerica and ms. bailey), dover, holliewood.
