The End of Something Great

Playing around with using layers in Photoshop Elements. In this one, there is the drawing of the woman, the "head bowed" cemetery angel, added color to the lips and a photograph of one of my eyes with the blue color added, plus a couple of fairly plain background layers I made. I like how it turned out.

Don't Forget to Breathe

Thinking about why I started this blog in the first place, and asking the question I see a lot of bloggers asking "Is blogging passe`?"

Struggling with how open I want to be here, especially when I feel more often "down" than "up."

Texture Tuesday - Kim Klassen

I signed up a few weeks ago for Kim's Texture Tuesdays giveaways and I am going to try to participate regularly. I miss blogging and maybe this will give me the incentive to at least post once a week. :)

The texture in this picture (on the flower and as the background) is called yesteryear. I have been playing around, trying to create my own textures but mine are not as subtle as these are.

This was an anniversary "thang" for a friend of mine. The flower is a gloriosa lily, grown by my mother. I don't have much of a green thumb!

Locked Heart

A locked heart is a problem. Not too sure I have anything more to say about that. Pain is an inevitable part of life. If you are alive, you will get hurt. And if you keep your heart all locked up to "protect" it from being hurt, the next thing you know, it is ruined from being locked up all the time.

I've been sketching a bit. I am not the greatest at doing it but it's enjoyable to me. I usually go into Flickr and choose some poor unsuspecting subject there to sketch. It never ends up looking exactly right but that is okay too.

Dance Reworded :)

Changed the wording a bit.

Dance

I sometimes have the problem of trying to dance in the way I think the other person wants me to dance rather than making my own choices. I lose my own music when I do that. . .

(I don't know by the words on the photo that my meaning is clear. I just got up this morning and did this one. I suppose I will have to think about it some more during the day. A revision may be coming.)

Doll Face

Blogging from my phone! I miss blogging, I want to come back to it. . .
