Playing in PSE

original photo-an abandoned house in my neighborhood

Added a couple of texture layers, text layer for a bit more, played with some painterly filters in PSE and Xero, a plug-in for PS and PSE.  I also added the cat, from a Wikimedia Commons image.

Take a Word--Butterfly--if you want to...

If you want to be a Mommy--be one

If you want to be a Scholar--be one

If you want to be a CEO--be one

If you want to be a Saint--well, that's harder...but try anyway

AND

if you want to be a butterfly

SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY!

(I hope you FLY, whatever you choose)

Something about the Summer Olympics always brings out the patriotic pride in me... Here's a bit of Olympic history....  The poster is French, and Jesse Owens, an athlete from Ohio State, dominated the world's athletes in Track and Field in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

Soartful-- Ice cream colors

Ice cream colors--vanilla-chocolate-strawberry.  I made a journal page this time, featuring a wonderful quote from Audrey Hepburn.

Photo Arts Friday--Unlikely pairing

I began with a photo of a smooth, mostly glass,building, and added a couple of layers of heavy texture, by Osolev at Textures for Layers, set to Multiply and Overlay.  The Eye of Horus is just a reminder that there is more to the world than we see.
