29 August 2012 - Painter Kaleidoscope

28 August 2012 - Freak-me-out Freckle & Photoshop

 

I added the brush-strokes in photoshop

after having failed with drawing on my hand

with a watercolour pencil.

 

I know I didn't have this freckle when I was younger

and it's disconcerting that I can't remember when it did appear.

 

My Mum made me the beautiful Bargello

embroidery cusion cover (it's one of a pair).

Olive Leaf Drops are to help boost immunity

and ward off winter colds.

to the plain tissue-paper background

21 August 2012 - Hot Chocolate & Painter

Made in Painter using a photo of dregs of hot chocolate at the bottom of a cup.

Used Painter's Elipse and Eraser to get rid of everything but the chocolate dregs,

then Layer Effect to change the hue,

then added flares with Inverted Airbrush, Distorto FX and Eraser again.

19 August 2012 - Google Doodle Guitar Tune

I discovered the Google Doodle that celebrates guitarist Les Paul's birthday

http://www.google.com/doodles/les-pauls-96th-birthday

http://www.google.com/logos/2011/lespaul.html

The Doodle lets you play tunes, record them and play them back.

I created a small tune by typing words based on the haiku I wrote for 9th January.

Don't know how long they store the recordings for - we shall see.

It's fun - I recommend giving it a go even if you're not musical (I'm not!).

Another one based on typing my name

http://goo.gl/doodle/7mfON

and "Once upon a time"

http://goo.gl/doodle/3Ti0P

The treble clef design was made in Photoshop by erasing part of a spectrum photo.

18 August 2012 - Tea Tonic Sampler & Photoshop

Tea Tonic's Sample Pack has 21 varieties (25 tea bags in the box)

bought from Romeo's Healthfoods in North Adelaide

I was getting rid of background shadows in Photoshop

and did a doodle on the background while I was there.

12 August 2012 - Crossing Button Cosies Out & About

A collaboration in creating with yarn.

Thanks to Liz for suggesting this

and to Roxanne for joining us.

We had a beautiful, mild, sunny Sunday morning,

relatively quiet in the city - bright and early.

Afterwards Liz and I went for brunch

and Roxanne went to decorate cakes.

After brunch I went to the SA Museum to see

the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize Exhibition,

an annual event which is always worth a look
