Lady in Red

I can't sleep. It is way past my bedtime and I can't sleep. So I'm up playing with photoshop. I was cruising some new sites earlier. Since I am new to digital images and clipart, I love seeing what other people are able to create. I am amazed at what talented people are out there. I wish I could chat with some of them over coffee and say, "how do you do that?" "Where do you get your ideas?" "Where did you learn that?" But instead I return to the land of the self taught where trial and error is a tough task master. So my experiment began with a postcard from great-grandma Pearl's collection.

I have been drawn to this one. I love her dress. On the actual card it feels like satin. I went into Photoshop and used the quick selection tool to crop out the lady. I brightened up the white of her shirt and the whites of her eyes. I brightened up the reds a bit. Then I decided I would like her with blue eyes instead of brown, so I made that change, and touched up her lipstick. So here is the PNG of the lady in red. If anyone has tips they would like to share with me, please do. I love learning new things.

Darling Dress

I guess the Irish mood still hasn't hit me. I spent the day working on some crafts for a show I have coming up in 46 days. I'm ill prepared to say the least. While I waited for glue to dry I opened up Illustrator and Photoshop and "doodled" this cute little dress. Hope it comes in handy.

Brain full of bunnies

I know, I know, it's March and my thoughts should probably be on shamrocks but I have cute, fluffy bunnies on the brain. This is a gif I made in Illustrator. I hope someone finds a use for him. He is too cute to go without a home.
