Experiment

I'm experimenting here, I've wanted to print my blog posts for ages and have worked out that if I send them to my email address it makes it easier to print them. So I'm hoping this post will end up in my email box. There's probably an easier way to do it and if you know please tell me, there is some sort of widget you can upload but the whole thing is very confusing and I'm as thick as two short planks when it comes to computer stuff. Anyway thought I'd put in a few photos just to make it a bit more interesting. Below is a section of the 1.5 metre square "studio" that I have to work in. A small corner of the family room. Here's my messy desk.

This is a collage of green photos I took around the house. Thought I'd challenge myself to take photos of objects with a colour theme and try to improve my photography skills......'skills', who am I kidding. I'm a photoshop dropout and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Anyway green was an easy colour for me because it's my favourite and I really have a lot of green things in my house. Too many maybe. You can tell I'm photoshop challenged because the colours in these photos are terrible. The chillies are from the garden, the shadow of the frangipani tree is on our green sun umbrella, there's a green cushion, candle, one of my art pieces, a section of a collage I made awhile ago and the stripey thing is actually a green platter that I placed in front of window that's covered with wooden venetion blinds, hence the shadow stripes.

Photo Collage

I just did this today so thought I would add it to this post. It's a sheet of canvas sprayed with white webbing spray then spritzed with "graphite" Glimmer mist. Some images, transparencies, german scrap, corrugated cardboard stamp, and some rubons and some strips of scrapbook paper for her dress.

Nothing terribly exciting but I just wanted to try my hand at the Picasa photo collage (needs some work) . These are a few pages from some of my art journals and the the cover of one, also a snippet of the inchie canvas I did a few weeks ago. Not sure if you can click on the individual pictures for a larger view. I'm supposed to be making a few Christmas cards, but it's been such a long time since I made one that I think I've lost my card "mojo". I've got so many things started and not finished. Whenever I start something it seems to lead me to something else that I want to try so I tell myself that I'll get back to the original project once I've for instance, made a few clay pieces (my latest craze) so while they are drying I'll continue on, but while I'm making the clay bits and bobs something else pops into my head that might compliment the clay and I'm off on another tangent. Oh well I guess that's the nature of creating, one thing leads another and so it goes.
