Talking About Love

Another in my Victorian Love series. I posted the other one yesterday (The Gift)

Words are from my poem Waiting

lost in a sea of
faces that are all the same
with their fear and longing
all waiting to be found
by that one
the only one

I was playing around with feathers and a box full of old typewriter keys and this happened. :-)

Make of it what you want. Sometimes we need to be savage, sometimes we need to see the monsters for what they are. Be brave.

Flutter

This was taken at the park at the other day. It's some sort of vine with little fluffy flower heads and it looked stunning close up against the bright sun. It made me think of the feeling you have when you've just fallen in love and you see the person you're in love with, that little twist in your heart that makes it beat faster and your lips smile....

My Romantic Valentine

 Original hand coloured version below

This is a hand drawn card, or rather the original was. I took two pictures, one of the black and white outlines, and another of the finished, hand coloured one, but the second one didn't come out that well, so I used the outlines, traced them and converted them to paths and then coloured them in using Photoshop and added some texture and colour adjustments. Most of the fill patterns are mine, but there are a couple from Pixels & Ice Cream.

All other images/textures/brushes my own. Edited in Photoshop.

 The perfect card and a cute bag to put in the presents...

For example this cute iPhone cover or

this very cute pillow case

Or, show your devotion on a tee (all available here):

 Or, get a framed print for your first home together (from Redbubble):

Image to illustrate my poem of the same name. The poem can be read here. This is a photograph of crow's and duck feathers arranged in the shame of a wing. I edited the image with textures and colour adjustments to get this 'vintage' effect.

This is a photo collage inspired by a picture of some glass shards I took a little while ago. The shards made the shape of a heart and I added the photo of a hand drawn heart and clouds and lots of textures to create this.

Winter Moon

My first use of my new wide angle lense. I took an image of the sky through the bare rose bushes in my garden and then added textures and colour adjustments and cropped the image to this size. I also added a vignette to exaggerate the sense of cold moon light.
