hope you don't mind r

 

Thats just amazing GW,What a talented young lady you are

 

Make a Muppet!
WF has asked me for a challenge. OK - but challenges are no good if they are easy and not challenging you to do something different. Perhaps we are all getting in a bit of a rut - I know that I am with cut-outs.

So the challenge is to get to use the paint tools other than the air brush copying facility. Take a natual or manmade object - tree stump, bucket, brush, teapot or whatever -and turn it into a muppet using just the brush tools. You can darken, lighten or paint on details. What you can't do is to copy in bits of other photos. Are you up for it?

Great pics guys--- most impressive. I am still around lurking.

I lack time for imaging at the moment as I have become seduced by taking raw camera images on my new camera and I am learning how to improve, alter and enhance them using photoshop.

Fortunatly a cousin of mine is a police photographer and he uses 'raw' so he has been a great help.

Keep up the great work.

 

Nice one Wildflower. You will get better and your hand grow surer. Its a new skill and new tools which you might want to use in your pctures

 

More Muppets just for fun. We can't take ourselves too seriously

Molly Flindly, she smokes like a chimbly
But she's my little nicotine gel.

 

Well I like Connie Cornflower and as you say - at least you had a go.

Someone else can set a challenge now :confused:

 

Connie Cornflower? :D :D


Reminds me of a song my grandmother used to sing me called 'When I Met Connie In The Cornfield'
- don't remember any more of the actual words but at about 4 or 5 years old I wondered why they would want to meet in a cornfield! :rolleyes:

(sorry - a bit off topic :D )

 

Using your scanner to make pictures

Here is another idea to get the creative juices working. You can put small objects like flowers, leaves, ornaments, spoons, dead insects etc on to the glass plate of your scanner. The scan will make a very sharp photograph of the objects which you can then use in pictures. You could use the whole lot as I have here, or use individual items in a picture.

All that I have done to the scan is flood it with very transparent blue paint (set paint to low opacity and use Paint Bucket tool) Then I have framed it.

 

Hi guys - just checking in to say have been very busy and have a sick little Mollydog at the mo - may get a few mins later to have a go at something - I am loving these challenges H - GW - Id like a bag like those - you should market them - virtual bags!!!
Wf - lovely fairy - and colours

See you soonxx

 

No - the lid doesn't close but it doesn't seem to matter. Just to demonstrate this, I have put a whole bunch of artificial flowers in the scanner. The lid was raised about 3 inches, but it still worked. Flat objects work best, but you can use sea shells and all sorts of small objects. I am pushed for time at the moment, but I'm going to try to make some proper scanned images tomorrow. Then play around with colours and textures

 

Been at this on and off for agaes - all behind like a cow's tail as usual :rolleyes: Edges are a bit ragged but quite like the effect

 

HB...Thanks i will try again look forward to seing your scanned images..
Marge..love the colours you made of the ball..you should keep that picture as they would cut out well and usefull to be used as images,/patterns..

 

Something for the young at heart...









This occupied my insomniac hours this morning :rolleyes: The last picture was done by scanning in the dish and spoon.
