NEW CLASS WORK

Hi, Everyone.

I have some new class work.  I'll post my letters first.
I have made photomontages out of all the letters and am really excited by how they came out.  But the best is to make a sign of the letters.  Boy, you can really get creative here.  I'll show you in a few.

"J"

From the Justice store sign at the Mall, I give you the letter "J"!!  It looked like a happy J, so I thought I'd give it a sparkly look.

"K"

And from Kithen Kapers..."K"

I needed to do something different, so I chose a bumpy tile background, then some peeling paint, went through the blending modes and found this.  I need to vary the colors and I've been getting some really dark letters lately, so I thought this one would do nicely.

"L"

This L is from the Lids store sign.  I put a chicken wire background with a leafy one and blended til I got something I liked.  

Now on to the Photomontage class.  The assignment was to take some letters and make a sign with them.  I really struggles mostly with coming up with something to put on the sign.  For those of you who know me well, "MAC" is my computer.  The one and only in my life (how sad).  Actually, I do have a laptop hidden under a shelf.  Don't mention it in front of Mac.  He does get jealous.

Once I had something to say, I had a blast getting the letters to behave and become a piece of art.  I am pleased with the way it came out and am looking forward to doing a series of these signs.

Now, here is my struggle.  A grid of roses.  I still have some work to do on it.  I' learning as I go.  I've passed my deadline, so I'm posting it , but will post the finished product later.

The classes are very rewarding and I'm learning lots and seeing what others in the class are posting.  

 we are planning a trip to the southwest again.  This time to Santa Fe for a photography class.  I can't wait to go at it again.  The southwest is the place to be for photography.  We will travel through New Mexico and Arizona and meet up with our neighbors for a blast.  We really miss seeing them.  It will be a hoot to get together again.  

I will post Southwest photos in a few months.  For now, enjoy!
