Three Muses: Grunge/ Print Background

The Three Muses have challenged us this week to create a "grungy" collage with a print background. For my digital collage, I altered and combined various elements to create this face. I used digital brushes (Obsidian Dawn) for the eyes, hair, and splatters/spills; a nose and mouth from SJD; text background from flickr (Norma Frances) ; and background paper from Holliewood Studios. Challenging but fun!

Black, White, and One Color

This week I'm hosting at Collage Obsession, where we're asking you to create a collage using shades of black and white and one color of our choice. Please visit the challenge site and add your work to the array of beautiful art that's sure to appear! Here's my own digital collage below, which incorporates two images that I altered and combined-- a painting of a woman from Dover designs, flower image from artfreebies.com.

Soartful Challenge: Trees (Orange plus one color)

This is for the Soartful November challenge. Image credits: allfreedowload.com. I had lots of fun playing with blending modes and filters in this piece, although I tried so many combinations that I doubt I could ever reproduce this effect. Serendipity.
