New Blog Banner Image

My new blog banner is a digital collage I created several months ago (not sure if I've posted it before). It combines a paper-napkin decoupage background I did in art journaling class; digital images of a robin, nest, and butterfly wings; and digital stamps in a music pattern.

This Is Why I Love Digital Art

I took one of the images from my previous post, converted it to "negative" mode, then cropped random square sections and assembled them into a "digital quilt." It didn't take very long--with no mess to clean up!

Accents of Red

As the day outside gets grayer, I feel the need for some color. So I added red accents (via PSE) to a couple of black/white/gray Zentangle-style doodles I recently finished. It cheered me up!

NYC Energy, Part II

One of the photos I took in NYC at night didn't "turn out." I don't remember why- it may have had something to do with my camera flash (or lack thereof). Instead of buildings, signs, etc., I just got vertical streaks of light. Just now, I altered it slightly in PSE, and will probably use it as a background for a digital collage some day. Sigh...such fun!

Have an Artful Memorial Day!

"Waiting"

I think I've been remiss at crediting blogs and websites for the images I've adapted for my digital collages. (The images are usually offered free for artists' limited use.) Here, the mermaid and the shell behind her are from graphicsfairy.com, the clock is from lastdoordownthehall.blogspot.com, and the fish and starfish from Dover Designs.
