Some progress on my renovation and I did get outside too.
1. progress on the kitchen (yes I chose orange for the walls)
2. driving over the Forth Road Bridge taking my nephew to University
3. walk by the firth
4. my tool shelves – eventually this will be the dresser in my living room
5. rug for the living room, with paint possibilities scattered over it
6. weekly trip to B&Q for DIY stuff
7. leaves are falling – autumn is here
Prompted by Inspiration Avenue to be mysterious. The prompt was metamorphosis so I decided to play with layers and erasing in Photoshop Elements. The face is my nephew who loves being dramatic so will enjoy this image.
Book background from ShadowHouse Creations. Wine stain is a dingbat font called Cafeina. The main font in Book Antiqua.
Had fun this evening playing on Photoshop Elements responding to some prompts. I really do see this as distinct from the ‘memory keeping’ things, even though I also do them on the computer at the moment.
The one word prompt from Creative Sunday was ‘comfort’ and here is what I did.
I took the photo last year on a small island off the main island in Vanuatu (in the Pacific Ocean). It looked idyllic but wooden logs are not that comfortable to sit on.
The main reason we visited the island was to see a turtle nursery – so especially for Deb, here are 2 photos of the babies.
I haven’t done 12 on the 12th for over six months, but yesterday I remembered early in the day. I decided to take close-ups of details.
As the photos show it was a normal Sunday – read my novel,did some washing up,had a walk, did some photoshop elements, put away some summer clothes, went to the supermarket. A nice snapshot of the everyday.
On the mosaic the font is geomancy and the stitches are from scruffy stitches set by Amy Hutchison at After Five Designs.
