I love this picture. they are dogs of the river, oh, like fruit bats are dogs of the sky (I want one! - and a wombat too) 1 2
Corrie Kinkel Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 We still have that same foggy grey and sometimes very wet weather as the last 4 or 5 weeks. Only yesterday we had a short period of sunshine, but alas I had a couple of appointments and a lot of things to do, so very little time to enjoy it. Therefore again I have experimented some more and this is the result. I used this plant Nandine Obsessed in week 49 too but now I zoomed in on the foliage and changed the light setting to stage light with gave this result. 1 6

Expand Almost, the white tailed hare turns white for the winter, to blend in with its habitat. You can see the last of its summer coat on the snow. Their tails are white all year round. Hence their name. 4
Susan Ewart Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 Week 50 Paper was made in the Paper workshop and Slipped In effect from Carole's book, It's easier for me to find that instruction as I know exactly where it is in the book (pgs 267-269). 2 4

Susan Ewart Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 Week 51 Did lots of stuff here, wish I could remember it all. I do remember I used a paper (from Dancing Tiger Designs) and selected and promoted the beveled design on it. then made changes to the bevel, new color, blend modes and re-beveled it and added a large shadow to the paper below. I actually left the design on the paper below because it also had a blend mode and some of the interesting colors came from leaving the pattern intact. I could not find a font or Alpha to fit the busy ironwork design I had created. I had a idea, and a brilliant idea (hahaha, the positive grinch I am!) to use the Letterpress Script choosing the metal option which I used HSL to color it a bit. The outline I wanted to have a metal bar so I added thickness to the stroke on that preset shape outline, and used a metal pattern. I duplicated that, beveled the top layer, used a blend mode, and reduced the opacity and then used the bottom layer to add the shadow too (very light shadow) 3 more to go, to get to 54 cards in the deck. 1 4
