Hidden in Plain Sight

The Artarazzi challenge this week was to alter a painting by
Faye. The faces were altered using PSP's enamel filter, the original painting was rotated and masked.

Jaguar Crossing

This was made in response to a "Wild Things" challenge at
The Three Muses.

Message in a Bottle

This is another quote challenge from
Paper Whimsy. I really liked this poem.

WHEN MOONLIGHT FALLS
—Hilda Conkling
When moonlight falls on the water
It is like fingers touching the chords of a harp
On a misty day.
When moonlight strikes the water
I cannot get it into my poem:
I only hear the tinkle of ripplings of light.
When I see the water's fingers and the moon's rays
Intertwined,
I think of all the words I love to hear,
And try to find words white enough
For such shining...

The rules:
- Use something that evokes moonlight (I used silver embossing powder around the moon, but it doesn't show up well).
- Include something that suggests music (my violin playing angel)
- Include a pocket, into which tuck words you personally love to hear (my pocket is the waves and the words: dreams, secrets, mysteries, ethereal, whispers, effervescent, and magical are in the bottles)>
- Include two other PW images (the words are from a collage sheet I purchased and the fish - signifying water - is from a previous challenge collage sheet).

Deserting Me?

The theme at Three Muses this week is doors. My door is from Paper Whimsy, recolored and cropped. Alice is from a collage sheet from Alpha Stamps.

Light and Dark

Background on this was provided by Artarazzi. The bird is by KPertiet, the overlay by Anna Aspnes, the flowers by kafrounette and the branch is by akiloune.

Lost . . .

This a piece of digital art that combines a challenge from
Artarazzi (the little girl and the moon) and a new challenge blog The Three Muses (the background started out as the Mona Lisa!). I cloned and smudged out the famous lady, deciding to use the background colors instead. The colors made me think of the sad little girl, so I added her and her moon on top after altering the both considerably. At the last minute, I decided to add a ghost of Mona back in so the little girl wasn't all alone anymore.
