ATC-SNOWMAN STARS

When I saw this snowman - with the quirky look on its face - I just knew
I had to make an ATC card out of it...nothing fancy...just enough
to show off the snowman and its stars.
Of course I like it first and foremost because it is purple - now how cool is that.

I think I am stuck on snowman because I have not seen any in over 20 years...
So I have to get my fill of it somehow.

This is my entry today for AEDM...only one more day to go to this
"creative challenge".
Thanks so much for stopping by and looking!!

STRETCHED STAR VARIATIONS

Today I happily created....I seem to be dragging again - just feeling out of sorts...but
I don't feel like I am in such a fog so this is good....
The above image looked like a stretched star to me...(hence the title)..I like the look
though the colors are not as bright as I was hoping for...so I played some more...

So I played with more filters and again played with my favorite mosaic one..
and this is what I created...though again the colors were not bright enough for me..
However I do suggest that you click on the mosaic image because it looks SO MUCH BETTER
in a bigger image...I created more little mosaic pieces in this one...so they look smaller...but
the image looks so much more defined - which I like...
Then of course I still wanted to brighten up the look and this is what happened:
LOVE IT!!!! This one was manipulated with the watercolor filter...I so love
the brightness of the colors....and if you click on the image...it has such a cool watercolor
look to it...really turned out nice...made me very HAPPY!!! This is a good thing!!
Well - this is was...and I thank you for stopping by and Looking...Have a great friday!!!

RED MELODY

Just playing in reds ....really quick and easy....had loads of fun.
I like all the little hearts and stars...seems to be an on going theme...lol
Of course I played some more - tweaked some filters and this was made:

I think if you click on the photos you can see the details better...they look better
larger.
Of course I love the mosaic look.
I know the closer the holidays get - the less people are creating...but it is fun!!!
Thanks for stopping by and Looking!!!

WOW - CHRISTMAS COLORS

More Christmas colors....bright greens and reds...
stars shapes are overwhelming in this one...as well as the next...
sharp edges...jagged....straight...no smoothness at all...
Love the colors and the look....and just in time for Christmas...
Of course had to play a bit further and this one popped out:

A bigger star....more defined...not as fragmented...I like the look..
looks like little peachy pink hearts in the inside points of the
stars....pretty cool to me.
Really enjoyed making these....
Thanks so much for stopping by and Looking!!!

LOTS OF COLORS

COLOR COLOR AND MORE COLOR....
As always playing around but this time some bright and beautiful colors
have appeared...I love it!!!!
Purple (my most favorite color) and pink (my second most favorite color) just
shinning through in this top kaleidoscope...I am loving the very obvious star in the center
(just appearing on it's own) and the flower even more so in the center trying to break through.
The of course - I went on to play and play with more filters and check
out what has appeared below:

I REALLY love this one....love the colors....love the blossom in the middle....love the
yellow and blues in it....it really came together...now these two pieces made me
really happy today...
I am so glad you dropped by today....Thanks for looking!!!

SOFT COLORS - OFFICIALLY LISTED

Today I just wanted to play with soft colors....nothing bright...nothing dismal.
This top one surprised me--- but I really like the hearts around the star...have no idea
how I got them there (as usual) but I like the look.
This next one I played with other filters:
This one looks like a simple kaleidoscope...nothing really fancy...still soft colors.
I like the softness - my daughter thinks that on the outside of the middle image those little
light green images look like cat faces....hmmmm - what do you see?
Just one more that I decided to show you all...
Now this one looks like tulips to me in bluish tint....I really liked the soft look
of them...and a little star in the middle...
I am enjoying making these kaleidoscopes because they are so open
to interpretation and so random...no two ever the same...now how cool is that?

NOW SOME GREAT NEWS....I am officially listed in - DELIGHTFUL BLOGS.

I am really excited....now I need a BIG BIG FAVOR PLEASE....
could you go and rate me HERE. (1 being bad - 10 the best)
I would so appreciate it...and if your blog is listed there - please
leave me a comment so I can rate yours!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Looking!!!

IN THE PINK AND UPDATES

In the Pink!!!! Well onto brighter colors...this one was fun...I think it looks like a flower
blooming inside the star...I do like the soft edges on it..and the pink hues
I really enjoyed playing with it...then of course I decided to play with the amount of
"orbits" in a kaleidoscope...so here is another one that was done differently:

The whirly orbits around the outside are different...and the inside totally changed...
looks like little embellishments have been added and a flower shrunk in the middle...it actually has a feel of celtic to me...and I just love celtic things.
I have also noticed that in both - the whitish green tint almost makes it look
like gold in color from a distance...just the little outlines around the image,
which to me just adds to the magic of the images!!
I like the way it all turned out...and had fun doing it all.
Before I go - did you check out the art book I described in my previous entry...
if not - definitely check it out or go to Amazon.com to see what the book is all about!!!
ALSO...I have really updated my collaborative blog (that I have with my daughter) called
A Mother & Daughter Prospective, and
would love for you all to check it out if you got a minute...there are a couple
of entries I made this past weekend!!!
Thanks so much for Stopping by and Looking!!!
