Neopaques

So, I Read about Neopaques ...It's  Suzi Blu's Fault

Looking Like Aliens at this point,

But I know they'll get better...

It's all about Layers...

Patience...

And a stiff brush for Canvas...

Isn't it all about trying something new?

Paint Party Friday - Week 11

Working on This -

Letter "F" for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday

"F" is for "Fun Fotos"

Last week I posted Flowers and got some questions about how I got a particular eFFect.

Here's the Fix:
Picnik
It's a Free online Foto editor

Here are a couple of tricks:

Original Foto

Same Foto uploaded on Picnik
Select "Create" Tab

Select "Heat Map 2.0" Effect










Furthermore....

"HDR-ish" eFFect
One of my Faves











Finally For Fun

"Neon" EFFect













Frolic...Fiddle....Fabricate....
and Forgive me for spelling Photo with an "F"

 Say Hi to Jenny From Me

Do You Moo?

Well, not as in cow "MooOOOooo"
as in business card Moo
Specifically minicards which I LOVE

and have been thinking about forever getting my butt in gear

and making some on their website

However.....

 After spending umpteen hours on this "Project" today....

Editing, cropping, resizing.....(because you can use 100 Different Images - HeLLO)

Learning about "safe areas", "bleed lines", etc

I am pretty sure they should change the name....

To "Humpback"..."Hunchback"..."Camel Back".....I think you get the idea

I guess it's not as cute as "Moo"

Happy Editing!!!!

I Know This Girl.....

Acrimboldo style as taught by Pam Carriker - 90lb watercolor, acrylics, neos

I know this girl who works at Starbucks

She's a coffee connoisseur

She can rattle off those coffee orders that are like a foreign language to me

She tests me on the acronyms that are on the side of the cup

My memory is usually not so good

Yesterday I met her and one of her coworkers for lunch

There was alot of Starbucks chatter

It was interesting being with her in this environment

listening to their connection

and Starbucks Stories

This is only a tiny part of her world.

She goes to school full time

Most mornings she is up at the crack of dawn

If she is not scheduled for work at Starbucks, she's exercising her body and brain

She's the most organized person I know

She always makes time for her friends and is usually the one doing all the driving

She is the best friend I know

She likes singing to our dog

Our dog tries to sing with her

It's funny

She is the funniest person I know

She always does her best

I am so proud of her everyday

She makes me want to be a better person

BUT

Don't tell her this...

I'm a Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee drinker.

Letter "E" for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday

"E" is for Enjoy the Garden

The Reward

 

So much of the time, I feel like I am "spinning my wheels"

I don't always know if I'm spending my time wisely

What is My Purpose?

I am still not sure I know

But I want to give attention to things I can accomplish

and feel satisfied they are a "reward" 

Give myself credit for growing

and keeping on the path

of creativity.
