Summertime...

I'm not a country music fan but Kenny Chesneys

Summertime was stuck in my head today. Played around

with icolorama brushes again then opened the 

image in Oggl to add a vintage camera lens and 

film effect. Added some texture with DistressedFX and

finally the lyrics with Word Swag.

I know….it's not a Ford….but it's the only shot

I had of a truck.

Yoo-Hoo!

The Ancient

I've been looking at the icolorama app for a while

now. I've seen some wonderful things done with it

so I finally plunked down the $2.99 to add it to my

arsenal of photo manipulation tools. 

This is my first piece and to be honest I can't really 

tell you how I did it! I opened one of my digital

collages and played around with brushes in the

artist mode….I think….

After getting something that caused that little

"yeah…that's it" kinda thingy in my stomach

I saved it and then reopened it in Tangent and

added the geometric elements….and 

The Ancient revealed herself.

I've got a LOT to learn about this app but it

looks like a great purchase.

Rainy Morning Walk….

Here are a couple of pics I took this morning on a 

walk around my yard. 

Yes….I HAD to snazzy them up with a couple of apps.

I've become quite obsessed with apps….BIG bang for

little bucks!

Here's the raw shot of the succulent:

I used Oggl (Hipstamatic) to get the effect above.

I have Hipstamatic on my iPhone…it lets you shoot

using a combination of lens and old film types but

I like shooting raw and opening the image in Oggl 

to see which combos I like best.

And the chives:

I opened this image in Snapseed and converted it to

HDR then saved and opened in my new favorite…

Tinned Cam and added the light effect and color

change. Easy peasy!

A little snazzing up makes all the difference!

Lola #2

Here's #2 in my Lola series. To keep with the theme

I used the same process as in the previous post. I played

around with more color choices in this one and really

liked the result. 

"Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my Lola

la-la-la-la Lola

la-la-la-la

Lola"

L-O-L-A……LOLA

Do you remember the song "Lola" by the Kinks?

It was stuck in my head all day and ended up in my

art. The original picture is an old high school photo.

I opened it in Tinned Cam and added the overlay

with the white lettering and distress marks. Next I 

used Procreate to add the "makeup" and saved the

image and then opened this image and the original

 in Image Blender. After blending the two pictures

I opened the result in Word Swag to add the lyrics.

I've recently joined a group on Facebook moderated

by Karen Divine where she suggests a direction and then

she and other artists discuss your post. The current 

challenge is to develop a series based on one idea.

I'm thinking I'll continue to bring out the "Lola" in

more old photos for my entries.

Bird is the Word

I haven't had much of a chance to play around with apps

lately. After watching my gran while 

we waited for her sister to arrive I woke up the

day after she went home with some kind of cold/sore throat/

nausea thingy…..yuk! Still not feeling all that well but I did

play with a new app….Tinned Cam… to create this picture.

Fun app! I can't wait to feel better so I can really explore

what this one will do.

Welcome Ever…….

My newest gran….

Everleigh…

'Ever'

Little Miss Blondie…

She should be home tomorrow.

I haven't seen her yet 'cause I'm 

keeping her big sister Lila..
