'Ugly duckling'!

Back to the piece of vilene plus molding paste - not very exciting to look at -

but can lead to some interesting digital effects!

Still finding out how to place text and photos in Blogger - thanks to Su and Emma for suggestions.

Take a piece of vilene ...

I took a piece of vilene, about A4 size, made a pattern with molding paste and a sequin waste template, added acrylics and treasure gold .. and made a cover for sketchbook.


Using the same piece of patterned vilene I  created a digital image in Photoshop.  Now I need to work out how to put script below the image - help gratefully received!

Moving on

Using the image of the crop of the cut glass jug, I played in Photoshop and added  a topaz filter.  The selection was  made with the magic wand (sounds very Harry Potter-ish!).

Too easy!

No fooling you lot!  A glass 'jug' with drops of food colouring added to the water.  Must find something more difficult!

What is it?

Really stuck for something to photograph!  Here's something I did this morning - can you guess what it is!?

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!  May the year ahead be filled with surprises and adventures!  Here's a quote from a good friend (Paul Leader)  - "Replace the fear of the unknown with curiosity".  I'll drink to that!
