GIFTS REMEMBERED

 
Photoshop enhanced ONce
 
 
 
 
The real piece
EXPLANATION:
i printed part of my painting of a face and flower onto cotton and then learned in DJ PETTIT'S workshop how to paint the cotton.
then added fibers and fabric, words...
 
 
 
a CLOSE UP of the words...i have used these words before in more than one painting...they are POWERFUL and hold much MEANING for me :)
 
 
 
i was given birthday money in july and put it toward PHOTOSHOP...something i have desired to attempt so many times. with Joanne Rose's encouragement, i just "went for it" and will never be sorry.
i want to learn how to enhance and come up with creative ways to tweak my artwork and this will be one avenue, i'm sure of many...one thing leads to another...GRATEFULLY, THANKFULLY...to alllll my teachers, those giving persons, including the ones we don't pay...they just INSPIRE our DESIRES and spark our IMAGINations to no end!
another GRATEFUL day!
 
 
i am wishing you creative paths, sparked ideas, ANY POSITIVE CREATIONS, today and EVERYday!
 
 
XOXOXO

    I can't even wait to see how much more more more will unfold now for you with the addition of Photoshop as a tool to play with. You've already managed some wonderful effects with this beautiful piece. Hooray for learning new things!, hooray for giving when and in ways we can, and hooray for love and support in our creative adventures. :)

    This is spectacular. Photoshop really does do wonders. I think I'm going to save money to buy the authentic Photoshop CD. Its a good investment.

    You have put the technique you learned to good use. This project is very creative. I can't wait to see what you come up with using Photoshop. I've never tried it but might want to in the future.

    I love your blend of media, especially the cloth and the stitching. I really like Photo Shop too and I just acquired a Wacom tablet and was thinking of getting painter. I think it is so cool to mix media from real paint to digital and back to paint again.

    Beautiful work Wanda!

    Cheers
