Take a Word: Doors

 

 These houses were digitally collaged with my own patterns and patterns from other sources.  The doors are scanned chipboard doors from Maya Road, altered by me.

Three Muses: Silhouette

Stork image adapted from joessistah. Background consists of two photos that I took at Yellowstone, blended together. I love the way the water in the background peeks through the silhouette and suggests feathers! Another happy accident :).

Take a Word: Organic

In this digital collage, I layered and blended a botanical tulip drawing from vintage moth with an original leafy doodle of my own. The original botanical print was in sepia tones with a little yellow; my leafy sketch was in shades of green on a red background. I like the way the colors of my sketch peek through the flowers, and the way my vines provide a delicate, neutral background for the piece. A fun experiment!

Collage Obsession: Headdress

Quite a challenge this week! We were to incorporate a "headdress" into our collages, taking inspiration from hairdo's of the past. I love these unusual themes, though they tend to keep me up late at night, fooling around with Photoshop Elements. Image of the woman below from magazineart.org. Beehive image from Google images. Bees from Graphics Fairy. Alterations by me :).

Three Muses: Time Quote

I couldn't resist using a circus-related quote for this challenge, since I haven't done a circus themed piece in quite awhile (and, as you know, I love them).
