Summers Past

Some lavender from last year's summer. I loved the simplicity of it and played around with until it looked like a pinhole image.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

Snow White

We finally have a bit of snow even if Christmas (and therefore a chance of a White Christmas) is long gone.

This reminded me of Snow White. One of my favourite fairy tales.

Blossom

 

 

Another experiment after watching another interesting PS tutorial.

This time I went for a different kind of effect. I've always had a thing about Art Nouveau and the way they create something almost magical but in a simple way with subtle colour and ornamental effects. This is my version of an Art Nouveau poster.

I've used a stock photo by M3ment0M0ri of an actress (I believe) called Maude Fealy and a texture by Dazzle-Textures called Destructive News.

The rest of the images/textures are mine, namely a photo of a cherry blossom and one of my Victorian Wallpaper textures.

Ghosts - Altered Art

A memory of all those gone...

I've used several components for this - my own Victorian wallpaper background, several of my own textures and photos (flowers, branches) plus textures and stock from other people.

Over the Sea and Far Away - Collage

My latest collage.


This time I have used:

- a picture of the sea
- a picture of the sky, both taken at the Suffolk coast.
- a picture of ivy growing on a wall
- a picture of a tree trunk, both taken at Sawston Hall.

I've painted the flying ladybird and used the following textures:

Big Light Textures by HinataTentenAnkoRul

Grunge Nebulae Textures by Fudgegraphics

Textures 117 by Sanami276

Water/Ghostly Textures by Lithium0916


Here is the flying ladybird by itself.


The title of the image is inspired by the song Other Side of the World by KT Tunstall.

The image is available from either my Redbubble or DeviantArt sites.
