October 2024 - P52 Challenge

Week forty four.  Whilst  the smaller migratory birds  have left, the Geese are now congregating in their thousands in our area.  They are feasting on what  the combines left behind in the stubble fields. I hear them as they fly over head throughout the night.  The majority of these are the snow geese. Truly a sight and sound to behold. As seen through my eyes!

Wow, what a fantastic sight of so many birds! I love and admire the place where you live and the harshness of it too.

This week I went to visit "Het Depot" of Museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam. It is a building special build for storage of all the artefacts a museum has and a place where they research and restore old paintings etc. I have been there before and used the photos from that visit in the Magazine Challenge. There are display cases with some objects from the collection and this one is a dress made out of paper.

I must admit there's so much beauty and wonder all around. Which compensates  for it's  long brutal winter. Yet, winter here has to be embraced with all it has to offer.

Sue, it must be amazing to see this!    I enjoy seeing the few (not even close to this scale) that get together here before migrating south.

These huge gatherings are  a common occurrence at this time of year. When I  first came here it was ever so overwhelming to witness. I still get  overwhelmed at many of the sights.

Week 44 The colours of autumn in a single tree.

Week 43

Started with a PSP floral pattern, turned it gray and did a high pass sharpen and added noise.  Then added a gradient paper above and used a blend mode and lowered the opacity.  The vectors are all filled with the pattern, cass-steel, and I added a tiny bevel and shadow on all.  Fonts are Dustin Hunk and Arial (CF and Windows).

Week 44

I used a PSP floral pattern, selected the background color and inverted and promoted the leaves to a new layer.  I added a negative shadow to recess them into texture (which was tin foil), which looked to me like the tree trunk outside my window.  the blue in the background came from two gradients with different opacity.  the fonts are Fleur De Leah (yes, that's the spelling of it), and Federo from CF or Google(via FontBase).

The cards look great, Susan!  I am sure you're having lots of fun creating them. 🙂

I am. It's a challenge, but I'm up for it.

This is what it looks like before the texture and before the Vector layer was hidden.  

These are so nice, Suz. I just posted mine for this week but I'm in the November thread now. You might want to move over... 😉

It came together very quickly and was born out of making a mistake and running with it.

You gotta love those happy accidents!

I'm wondering what kind of drugs I'm on...or should be one.  Why the heck I posted here I'll never know, especially since I already posted stuff in the November thread.  Thanks for letting me know.  I think I'll got bang my head against the wall for a bit.
