Ribcage Heart

Another in my vintage hearts series. This one was created from an upside down ribcage (yes, I know it's the wrong way round but it fitted better with the shape I wanted to create), and ivy (several public domain images) and lots of textures, mostly bought but I think one freebie. 

Subtitle for this one is: love grows in the strangest places. 

Don't forget, hearts are for forever not just for Christmas. :D

I went for a magical, fantastical theme this time. Not quite finished with it yet. It's great fun coming up with simple ways of telling a complex story. :-) 

Kiss Me

Photograph of a (not quite so) common frog. Isn't he cute? He stayed completely still and let me take pictures of him from all sides, maybe because or despite the bright light I shone on him (her?). I love the golden ringed eyes and the lips ready for a kiss. I can see why they came up with they idea of kissing frogs. Who wouldn't want to kiss this one?

the magic of the leaf

I always felt leaves were magic - the way they begin from simple little buds and then the way they change their colour through the year and fall to the ground to make a rustling carpet of leaves to return on the tree the next spring. Wonderful.

Blood Wood

This was an ordinary picture of a spring wood with wild primroses and bluebells and trees... however, then I got my hands on it and turned it into a blood wood inspired by the TV series of Game of Thrones. I wanted something a little ominous and magical.

Spring Magic

Found these lurking in my garden and couldn't resist, especially with all the snow this morning and the cold this time of year. You wouldn't believe it is Easter if not for these littel guys hiding away or the buds on the trees... Brrrrr....

This is the second in the "The Woods at..." series. I used 66 critters (butterflies, bugs, beetles and dragonflies) in this image; they were all public domain images from old books. The trees are hand drawn (by me) vector graphics and the ferns and grasses are brushes. I've added colours and textures to create depth. :-)

Each and every evening and sunset all the beetles, bugs, dragonflies and butterflies congregate to watch the sun set in technicolour and to catch the rays for their own colourful wings to keep them bright and pretty.

Now for something different - The Tail

This was an experiment. I recently bought a CD full of vintage images and found some more on the net (all public domain) and then I played with them all.

There is a photo of the beach in the background and I mixed up the vintage images to create the mermaid and coloured it in and added textures.

The image is inspired by one of my recent poems which I am not ready to show yet because I am considering entering it in a contest. :-)

Taken in the park a couple of weeks ago. I changed the colour and added the mist and the slight tilt-shift-blur.
