Fire and Ice Face

So, I've been working and lost my muse for a while.  Seems that is happening alot lately.  I am seriously always trying to get something done, but never in the art department.  I made this ATC a while ago and am now just getting around to posting it.  The really funny thing is that I can't bare to give it up for trading.

I love the porcelain masks with the different pictures painted on them and that is what inspired this particular piece of art.  I think I might just keep creating ATCs with more like this and then I won't feel so guilty about trading one.

Day 45 - Oh Opposum!

This is a drawing I did last year when we found an opposum on our front porch!  I think they are cute in an ugly sort of way!

This is Day 45's ATCs that I submitted in the 2010 Project ATC 365.

How I See You!

Me and my 2 daughters sat on the floor in a triangle and then proceeded to draw each other. Molly, Sierra's cat got her portrait done since she decided to walk in between all of us. Sierra did not like how her portraits turned out, except for Molly's. She has decided to stick with just drawing wolves.

Photo Manipulation Lesson 1

I am taking a photo manipulation class online in one of my social networks. I am really enjoying it and it is being taught by a 13 year old from the United Kingdom. She is seriously talented and the nicest person. She also happens to be a very kind and patient teacher. Here are a couple of the images I have done using the layers, erase, and merge functions in Gimp 2.

This is the photo we used for the class. There are 3 layers here: horse, landscape, and transparent.


This is a photo of a House Sparrow I took where I live. There are 2 layers here: house sparrow and background.


This is an image I drew titled "Self Portrait". There are 3 layers here: my drawing, text, and background.


This is an image I took of one of my pieces of jewelry. There are 6 layers here: my jewelry image, (2) flowers, flip flops, glitter sun, and background.
