PURPLE REALM

My favorite color - PURPLE - I just love it.....I like the hint of orange and the greens
in this one...how I got them - who knows (as usual) but this creation really turned out
nice....I think after this past month of Kaleidoscopes I finally have them down...I am totally
addicted to making them...I think mostly because they are instant gratification and that
is what I need at this point...the longer a project takes the harder it is for me to stay
motivated to finish it....
So I played some more...and this is what happened:

Yes - I used the watercolor filters and played with the settings and this is the result.
I like the brightness of it...it really makes me happy. I know that must sound strange
but if it makes me happy - then I find it easier to share and talk about. (my warp sense of reasoning).
Well - I played out and have watched LOTS of football....and now I think I will have some
coffee and watch the news (I don't know why - but I have always needed to know what
is going on in the world around me).
I think I will enter the watercolor one in MaryAnn's HandMade Monday challenge...YAY!!!
I hope your Sunday is Peaceful.
Thanks 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!!!

WAVY FLOWER EFFECTS

Feeling better - not so dragging today (Thank God)...so of course I played a while in
Paint Shop Pro..it was fun (as always) and came up with three creations that make
me feel happy today.
The top one seems almost dreamy to me...I like the soft lines -waviness and it has a
flower look to me..I also like the way the colors work with each other.
So playing with some more filters - this is my next one:

This one I added a watercolor filter to...really looks terrific (to me)
and then of course I had to work with mosaic filters (my favorite) and this next one
popped up:
I am really pleased with the results...really enjoyed creating today...
it relaxed me...and made me feel like I really accomplished something.
Well - I am really pleased with myself - I have been on a roll to blog and create
every day now since the beginning of November...This is a HUGE brave step for
me because it takes A LOT of inner strength for me to share my creations...I am
so in fear of being rejected or someone claiming that what I do is NOT art..
Truly it scares me...but today I am feeling so much more better with it.
So - I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL thursday - enjoy it all.
Thanks so much for stopping by and Looking!!!
