Going GAGA

I've seen some of the students using the blending tools on Photoshop recently and thought I would give them a go as I haven't really used them before. As I have a postcard from postcrossing.com to send to a GAGA fan I figured it might be nice to make a GAGA postcard using photoshop and here is what I came up with:

Picture is clickable for bigger size.

Spring has sprung!

On my way home Tuesday I just had to take some pictures of these gorgeous daffodils!





I'm thinking of putting the main picture into photoshop and seeing what I come up with.

Photoshop...

Yesterday was Teacher Training at work so here is what I got up to... Apart from clearing out all the old year 11 work which hasn't been collected, we also had a play on Photoshop to get to grips with the new version.

Some Uni work...

Had a presentation yesterday where I had to present my concept and ideas for my final collection and as it went kind of well I thought I would share the work that I showed my tutors. All my stitching friends will be very intrigued as to how it will all work. The last is a colour board. If you are having trouble seeing them clearly I have linked them to appear larger also.















Thanks for looking.

Last day!!!!!

Well today was my last day of Uni and to finish it off I drew up an illustration of the dress I have to make over christmas. Not sure what colour to do it so just picked a nice colour for my work. I drew the picture and scanned it into the computer at University before filling in colours and smudging them in photoshop to create the effect I have for the fabric to represent a blend.

I hope you like it.

Learned something new...

I use a programme called photoshop at university to do illustrations and things. Anyway I learned a new trick today. It's a sort of filling in/repairing tool. I used a picture of the purple fabric manipulation I did last week and repeated it using this tool so that it looks as though it is all one piece of fabric.

Here is what I came up with.



I also changed the filters a couple of times to get different effects. Here they are.

Coloured pencil and plastic wrap.
