I started by using the cutout from my lettering project and added layer upon layer - bits from my photos and collages and from some scrapbooking elements.....all thrown together, tweaked and manipulated til I came up with this.....don't think it's the best digital thing I've ever done, but I'm a little out of practice - it'll get better!
As I worked on this, the digital manipulation ideas and tools starting returning and I remember how much I enjoy experimenting with it - but oh my goodness, there's just not enough time in the day to do everything I love to do. How to choose? I guess I'll just work on what I feel like doing at the moment and other stuff can wait, right? Collaging and mail art and mixed media exploration will still be there .......
Wow! I love your digital art and the way you tied all the colors together! Great word for the year too, something I need to be doing more of. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your word and artwork....thanks for visiting me today on my blog...have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteTook a peek through the last couple of posts, love what your doing with the word FOCUS, funny that was my word last year, but I entirely forgot to FOCUS on it! lol Working on PRAY this year,,,so far doing better at that than I did at focusing. waving hi from the chilly hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY... Lov'in it Terrie!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring... keep it coming.
You are definitely exploring, reaching, growing, spreading your wings; and watching your process is delightful to see. ~xx
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know I know you want to do everything!!! You seem like you have a pretty good handle on PSE, mine is so rudimentary but you have to pick and choose right? Hanna is tempting me though----want to jump into that 365 collage project too - can't wait to see all of yours. xox
ReplyDeleteI love your collage and digital art expressions! I just found your blog via Cheryl's site and am in love! I joined your site and hope you maybe take a peek at my creative site Sparkfire too! Have a fabulous weekend
ReplyDeleteThere are so many creative activities available - but I guess we do have to 'focus' on what we really want to do. Thanks for sharing Terrie.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with your word, very creative. I haven't participated in PAF for a long time either. Lack of time, so much else to do. Have a wonderful 2013, I like your word.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great word, and it's in FOCUS, too. Happy belated New Year. I'm having trouble with blogger and am glad I was finally able to get to your blog.
ReplyDeleteFocus is an admirable word for the beginning of a New Year! It's exciting to look forward to all it's possibilities. I like your piece, the word itself is really fun with the way you drew in the patterns. I like the cheery feel it has. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a wonderful word, Terrie. And like Enough,it is one that will surely guide you and gently.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many things we want to DO or TRY or EXPLORE; how DO we determine where to Focus or when to say Enough?!
I am glad to BE walking this road with you in 2013.
