Take a Word: Roses

Marie, also known as "Ozstuff," is the woman behind the "Take a Word" weekly challenge. In her part of the world, Australia, roses are in full bloom right now. Thus, this week's theme of "Roses."

The woman's face in my digital collage below was created by me, using my graphics tablet and mouse in PSE 10. The roses and frame are from holliewood studios.

Sunday Postcard Art: Retro Halloween

I can't think of anything more retro than a photo of my kindergarten (or first grade?) class in the 1950's, all dressed up for Halloween. It was at Mordecai Gist Elementary School in Baltimore. I'm the bunny.

Take a Word: Crime Film Poster

The word for this week's challenge is "Poster," and it was suggested that we design a poster for a crime movie or TV series. Here's my digital poster design for a very good, but very creepy movie. (I read the book and then saw the Swedish version of the film, but not the Hollywood interpretation. Once is enough!) The drawing of the woman is mine (a combination of hands-on and digital);  the dragon image is from Wikimedia Commons; and the grungy texture overlay is from Obsidian Dawn.

Sunday Postcard Art: Raven

The raven image in this digital collage is from Theresa Martin. The background is one that I created by hand, scanned, and digitally altered.

Collage Obsession: Brown

Our challenge this week was to use shades of brown in our art. Here is a flower image from Last Door Down the Hall, blended with various backgrounds (some of which were created by me).  I love the mix of fall colors captured here.
