Altered Business Checkbook

I have had this skinny business checkbook for ages. I sat in my studio with ideas percolating when I spied it on the shelf and thought it would make a perfect book for Goddesses. I had my fellow art goddesses over on the weekend and we had a blast. I worked in my goddess journal. I am trying to figure out how I am going to alter the cover of this new Journal. It looks far too new. I think sandpaper will be involved. :) tune in for future updates.
The 50's domestic goddess

The Renaissance Goddess

Earth Mother


And the oldest Goddess, Venus of Willendorf

more goddesses to come . . .

More Digital Fun


Ok, I am quite liking this one. I used a photo of my hubby's for her hair, which I did the poster edges filter. Its a Grape Hyacinth a native wild flower to our area. I did the sketch of the face and it is on a background of an evening sky shot from my yard. Ms Hyacinth is pretty funky, no?

Thank you all for your comments it is so nice to hear from you.
Cheers!

My all time favorite movie

"The Horseman on the Roof"
A tribute to Italia and my all time favorite movie. I lost track how many times I have seen it and yet I would love to watch it again. Adventure, romance incredible cinematography. Here is yet again another digital collage.

Playing around some more in Photoshop making digital collages from my photos and art. :)

Going Digital


Meet Princess Peony. I got inspired after glancing through the new issue of Digital Studio by Stampington. I use Photoshop and am quite enchanted with it. I pulled a watercolour portrait I did and layered it in my photos of my beautiful peony. I used Spanish Wave marble paper from my Friend Jeanne Germani to colour her eyes. This was fun I will definitely be doing it again. :)

wildflowers

One of my favorite wildflowers has got to be the Chocolate Lily. These ones are in my yard. It is finally warming up in Victoria and all the flowers are starting to POP!

This one I played with the filters in Photoshop.

Another favorite is the Erythonium, I have also heard them called the White Fawn Lilies. This shot is by my husband Tim I believe.
These are also in my yard and they are so beautiful and delicate and very prolific growing in the grass on the side of our driveway. Such a nice welcome.

Pears in Pastels


Playing around with pastels again. When I started watercolouring I did lots of pears. This is my first ones in pastel and I did it in my journal. My name is done with ruling pen. Yah its Friday! The weekend is almost here.

Sketching


I want to continue to challenge myself to draw. This is my biggest metal hurdle when it comes to art.
