Today is day 13 of my vacation and the last couple of days I have only puttered a little with art.
I did do a search on U Tube to see if there were any demos on layering in photo shop. I found some but not with the information I needed at the moment. I know they will help me in the future. That was disappointing i am just waiting for the library book to come. I may try and see if the B & N bookstore is open today. I am stuck on the building piece until I can figure this out.
I have read four novels though! I found some new Jesse Stone books by Robert Parker. Parker's writing style is cryptic, but he makes you think. I find this fascinating and from a counseling perspective he is mostly right-on about people's process only without God.
One thing that came out real well is the revival of the old piece.
I took off the borders and put color on them with green print paste. They turned out great. They match so much better to the over all piece now. Then I realized that what i think it needs is a small colored frame inside these green borders so the inside doesn't bleed off into the edges.
Here are three trials with fabric I made: yellow, red, and blue. Don't think I have hit upon it yet but I am close. This piece incidentally is called Montreat stream. My family used to camp for two weeks each summer right by this stream and I wanted to capture some of the essence of that time.
