Memory Garden - Photo Manipulation

 

 

 

Inspired by the novel Little, Big or The Fairies' Parliament by John Crowley and the memory garden described in the novel. The memory garden idea is itself inspired by the method of loci, also called the memory palace, a system to help remember things. The idea has always fascinated me.

(Not so) Little Red Riding Hood - Photo Manipulation

 

 

MCN:CXCN7-JJM4A-RS54U

I love fairy tales and have been reading fairy tales since I was little and I use a lot of themes from them in my writing. Sometimes I like to wonder what happened to them after the tale finished... this is my interpretion of Little Red Riding Hood all grown up with her tame wolf.

Heart World - Photo Manipulation (Secret Series)

This is the latest illustration in my Secret Keeper/Secret in the Wall series:

 MCN: C9VFN-UEHC9-GYJU7

It was created completely with my own images/textures/brushes. I first made a 'topography' using many layers of images all mixed up and 'cut' each planet from this topography before arranging it on a background and editing it to give it a 3D feel.

There are also two new installments in the story line: 
The Secret Keeper Part IV: Chosen
The Secret in the Wall (Part VI) and The Secret Keeper Part V: A Promise Kept

The latter story is where the two story lines come together. :-)

The Story so far:

• The Secret Keeper
• The Secret in the Wall
• The Secret in the Wall Part II
• The Secret in the Wall Part III
• The Secret in the Wall Part IV
• The Secret in the Wall Part V
• The Story Weaver
• The Secret Keeper, Part II, Pandora
• The Secret Keeper, Part III, Alexandra
• The Secret Keeper, Part IV, Chosen
• The Secret in the Wall (Part VI) and The Secret Keeper, Part V, A Promise Kept
