Altered Self Portrait

This one is my contribution and believe me when I say that this is only the body of my dreams!

DAQ Quirkle Challenge 88 - Wish You Were Here

The Quirkle challenge at Digital Art Quirks this week was hosted by Donna who challenged us to use 1) a butterfly, 2) something yellow and 3) a triangle in our work.

There's no denying I was stumped this week and got caught up in the triangle bit and eventually this is what I produced.

Credit to Muddled Mind for the face, ATheeC for the body (both free to us at Flickr) and to Valerie Brincheck for the stamp.

Fonts used : Palsu and Vilma Handwriting.

Thanks for looking.

Make a Moo Or Two - Kiss

The theme at Make a Moo Or Two this week is A Kiss and this is my interpretation.

The statue is one from my own collection of photographs. I added a blue background, duplicated the whole thing and and blended first with multiply and then with a second layer blended with screen. After flattening the whole image I added a posterize filter, followed by an outline filter. Finally I made a drop shadow and added bevel and emboss to give the whole thing a raised edge.

The font is Dakota Handwriting.

Thanks for looking.

Theme Thursday - Masculine

Clarence is ALL man, except when his morning newspaper arrives, then he gives way to reckless abandon.

Clarence and his wonderful legs are images courtesy of Valerie Brincheck. The chair is cyber surfed and the backgrounds are my own.

Font : Floydian.

Thank you for looking.

Stock Photo Challenge 74 - Hands

Over at Digital Art Quirks the stock photo challenge this week was hosted by Cindy who chose the hands by Straymuse from Stockxchnge.

This is my interpretation. The map and the lady who shops (both much altered) are courtesy of the very generous Valerie Brincheck from her blog Sum of All Crafts. The shoe and hat boxes are by Kubivet.
