Collage

Photo Art Friday

Challenge is

Collage

Since I was in a hurry to get this in, I took the easy way in making my collage this week.  I first opened up Pic Monkey "collage" and added my photos, moving the slider where there was no spacing.  Then I went into Pixlr Editor added a few different textures (sorry can't remember the names of them) and added Ruby Blossom's clock texture (that's the only one I can identify :).  I added a glamour glow affect and a grunge ripped paper from Pixlr Express.  I also added the quote in Pic Monkey.

GrAFfiTi!

I took this photo about a month ago.  The area where I have a little boutique at is in The Arts District of Las Vegas.  There are photographers constantly shooting all around us.  This wall gets a lot of attention along with another one down the street and around the corner of us (also inside the garden area of our shop).  

I decided I'd take a photo of the wall (unfortunately we had some "taggers" ruin the wall and it's painted a solid color with nasty tagging on it now)...if I get a chance I'll take another photo and post it here too.

I don't remember everything I did, but I do know I added a glamour glow affect and Pixel Dust Photo Art's texture, "Other Worlds" using blending mode "hardlight" at 100%, erased the texture from the sky area because it just didn't fit.

UPDATE:  Here is the most recent photo of the wall from above.  I'm sure some will still say it's art and that's fine, but I'd rather look at the other wall.

Self Portrait

...in the eyes of the beholder.

I shot a photo of myself and then cropped only the top half of my face (well a little less) added Bonnie's fabulous free texture "Beauty is" on blending mode hardlight at 100%.  But thought it needed a bit more I used the art poster effect from Pixlr Editor and wanted more artistic flare, went into Pixlr Express and used the creative express "Yin" to give it the layered look it has then added a grunge like frame.  

Pixlr's photo editing is a free editing program in case you didn't know or are interested.

I'm happy with the results.

Photo Art Friday

This weeks challenge is to use Pixel Dust Photo Art's fabulous free texture, "Dropped Petal" another one of PDPA's texture and use one or two images of your own/one you can get from the web for free.  You can as always use any photo art of your choice.

Here's my first attempt:

I started off with the texture, dropped petal and added my two photos, 1) leaves on a tree, 2) a church steeple, both at blending modes overlay anywhere from 85% - 100% (I can't remember).  I then added PDPA's texture "leafy landscape" blending mode overlay 100%.

I thought it needed a little something so I added another photo of mine 3) seagulls

using blending mode difference at approximately 95%.

 

It really changed the whole photo.  Here are the actually photos I used...

I love this quote...

Photo Art Friday

This weeks challenge is the word "hardware" definition: the mechanical equipment necessary for conducting an activity,         usually distinguished from the theory and design that make the activity possible.  Or you can post any photo art of your choice.

I used Pixel Dust Photo Art's texture "Age it" and Kim Klassen's "Wonderful Magic Screen" then I used blending mode "difference" at 100%.

I know....I'm still a couple of days behind.  Today's photo is "mom", but my mother doesn't live close to me and well since today is Mother's Day,  I pretty much have done nothing...I did call my mom.  I'll come up with something, until then....
