Just playing

For a special ATC swap I made these two back in August

My first try at copying the fauvism style. The background is taken from one of the CM - challenges -
the lady must be a popular painting but I don´t remember who did it. I´ve used her in several paper collages and still like her. I used a lot of filters and have been painting with the mouse...
This was fun since I felt I hadn´t to be so precise as usual in digital work - lol - what is difficult with the mouse anyway. Most challenging was to give a final unified look to the image... I don´t really know if I succeded in this...

My first altered cabinet card.

Stamps by MaVinci and Lost Coast Design

Inkjet transfers and rubberstamping. I used fluid chalks and acrylic colors. Surface ist canvas board.

This digital tile was the result of doing a bit of photoshop playing with filters and such. I ransferred it to canvas board. I liked the colors so much that I decided to imitate the look of the tile for a paperquilt swap I´m in. I finished the digital quilt with some rubberstamp images. Colors are fluid chalks.

To substitute the wheel in the centre which was the result of a caleidoscope filter I chose the negative image of a dried orange slice I had pressed into penscore. The tiles turned out quite different because I inked the penscore differently so the edge of the slice printed darker or not at all. Since the grunge style turns up in a lot of works I tried some circles with the edges of a glass. Ink is again fluid chalks.
This was a fun and quick project.
