Take a Word: Song

This week we were challenged to use a song as inspiration for our art piece.

I can't give image credits right now because I'm still having computer problems and sometimes cannot access my Photoshop Elements files.

Three Muses Challenge: "I've Been Zettied!"

Our challenge this week was to transform a famous person into a Zetti figure. Mine ended up being Frida Kahlo (I know, I've been using her a lot lately, but her face is so dramatic and recognizable, and she fits in well with art-type themes).

Collage Obsession: Honeysuckle

"Honeysuckle Beach", my digital collage

Honeysuckle

Collage Obsession is starting to give us some color challenges instead of theme challenges, which I think is just wonderful (see title of my blog!).

The first color challenge is Honeysuckle, the color of the year for 2011, according to leading color guide Pantone.

“In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color red, the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum.”

I gave my honeysuckle-themed collage a beachy theme, since it's summer, and my heart is still at the beach, even though we've been back for over a week.
