Day 29 - animated gif

omg can you believe I'm soo behind! 11 days, with two lessons a week that's about 5 weeks *sigh*
but I decided to jump right in where we are. Was fun creating this animated buddha....
And it's actually quite easy creating an animation in photoshop.
The pic was nothing special - just an iphone shot of the buddha statue in my yoga space, but it worked well with what I wanted to create - the changing colour-overlays.
Maybe I should have made the colours change a little slowlier, would be more meditative...

and the other prompt for today - a triptych:
this super-easy technique will save me a lot of time from now on!

Day 18 - Beautiful Black & White

I played around with some tulips today, before I tossed them....
I love how they turned out in black and white (texture in the first two photos is Kim's 'poetic texture')

Day 14 - Black and White with aTouch of Colour

Day 13 - ten truths about myself

1. I sleep with a hot water bottle and a pair of woolen socks almost every night – even in summer...
2. I love chocolate, actually I love it a bit too much....
3. I love black tea with lemon juice and lots of sugar – it's my favourite breakfast drink
4. I love my cats, we had a dog once, whom I loved also, but I'm definitely a cat person.
5. I loathe housework – and feel guilty for that most of the time
6. I'm a good cook, but it's definitely not my favourite thing to do. I cook because I must, to feed my family, but I don't enjoy it.
7. I can't walk on high heels.
8. I would love to live somewhere warm and tropical, can't cope with winter and cold very well.
9. I love the sea, esp the atlantic ocean (doesn't fit into the tropical, I know, but anyway...)
10. I need much me-time and time with like minded people and I often feel I don't get enough of both.....(my family aren't really like minded :/)

Day 12 - brush lovin'

maybe not the best photo to go with the quote, but at least I tried...:)

and I couldn't resist....

to try the painterly effect on a pic of my darling cat Oskar :)
(I can never resist him....he's such a sweetie...lol)

day 10 - a painterly effect
