~Song of the Nightingale~

Original ArtWork By © Jill McCall
This is How I have been Spending my Time the Last Couple of Days. 
I am Loving the Natural History Look of Her. 
It seems Birds, Butterflies, and Flowers
 are a Reoccurring theme in my Work.
Song of the Nightingale is my Newest Digital Collage Piece.

I wanted to Show you the Before and After
 of Ivy. 
( I like to Name All of My Ladies.)
She started off as a Black and White Etching
 then Evolved into Color. 
I wonder if this is what She may have
 Looked Liked in the Engravers Eye~
Hope you are all Having a Wonderful Weekend!

Ever the Student where Photoshop is Concerned,
I have taken a Couple of
 Photo Editing & Photoshop Classes this Month.
 I have Learned some more techniques 
that have brought AMAZING Results!
 Things Like Texture, 
Adjusting Color & Coloring a Black & White Image.
Adding a Glow of Sunlight! I Love that!

A Learning Experience

Digital Collage Beginners Guide by Jill McCall©2013
I started doing Digital Collage
when I Began Blogging in 2007. 
Gosh, Can it be that Long?!
I used a Free Online Photo Editing 
because I was Bound and Determined
 to make my own Blog Header.
I was so proud of that first Blog Header!
(Not it  is being kept in the 
"Isn't that Lovely......
 & Wowee, I have Learned a Lot Since Then! "
Archive File on my Computer.)

 Oh My Gosh I spent Hours 
Teaching myself through Trial and Error. 
I had to save every layer separately because
 if I had made a Mistake, I could undo it.
My Files were Enormous in the Beginning
 and my Poor Computer was getting 
Slower and Slower.

 At some point I had Purchased Photoshop
and had Installed it on my Computer.
 I Found Myself Opening the Program...
then Closing it...
It was New and a Little Intimidating...
But with some encouragement 
from my friend Gale,
 I persevered.
