Remember me ...

This digital collage is a blend of two challenges. On Artarazzi we were given an image to use & for the Soartful Saturday challenge we were given a gorgeous background to use.


Here is my digital art journal page for this project. In addition to the images shown, I used a few of my own overlays to give an aged & distressed feel to the piece.

A Fairytale Ending

This is a digital collage using all the elements provided by Nancy Baumiller for the Crowabout Challenge.


It was a fairytale ending for Clara's first performance of
the Butterfly Dance on stage at Kitty's Theatre,
as when she finished her act, Clara noticed the famous casting director,
who had been watching her from the balcony,
rise to his feet to give her a standing ovation.

What a purrfect ending!

All the images from week 43 collage sheet are included in some shape or form. There were no additions to this collage.

Reach for the skies

The challenge this week set by the The Three Muses was Up Up & Away.

I thought I would challenge myself to use Clip Art images as the main source for this piece & I also wanted to change my style in preparation for next week's challenge which is Surreal.


Here is my digital art journal page for this piece showing the original images used.

Nature's Melody

The challenge this month on the Awfully Big Art Adventure was the theme of dragonflies.

They crowned her queen of the dragonflies
& danced to nature's melody


I used a free texture image from Flickr as the background, which can be found here.
