For So Long I felt like Photoshop was
 too Daunting a Task to Undertake.
So with a Little Bit of Play
 and a Thimble Full of Knowledge
as my Good Friend Gale said to me,
I have been learning Quite a Bit.
(Also Remembering that the"Undo" Button is Close at Hand.)

I would Love to Share with You
what I have Learned so Far.
(By the Way I still Consider Myself a Humble Student~)
I have started putting together a Tutorial
that Hopefully will Help You Feel Less Intimidated.
Some Basic Skills and Answers to Simple Questions.
The same Questions I Had When First Started.
but was Afraid to Ask
It is in the Works Right Now
and upon Completion
can be Found
 Here on my Blog

~ She Walks In Beauty ~

~ She Walks in Beauty ~

   She walks in beauty, like the night

        Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

    And all that's best of dark and bright

        Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

    Thus mellowed to that tender light

        Which heaven to gaudy day denies. 

 One shade the more, one ray the less,

        Had half impaired the nameless grace
    Which waves in every raven tress,
        Or softly lightens o'er her face;
    Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
        How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. 

   And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

        So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
    The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
        But tell of days in goodness spent,
    A mind at peace with all below,
        A heart whose love is innocent! 

~ Lord Byron ~

As I was Working on this Collage Piece,

~ She Walks in Beauty  ~

 (One of my Favorite Poems)

kept Popping into my Head.

It Just Seemed to Fit.

My Love of the 

Regency- Jane Austen Time Period

 also Played a Role I think.

It is My Go Too Theme for Creative Play !

I Hope you Don't Mind too Much!

More Playing with Layers 

and Photoshop...

Oh My I can't Help Myself !

I am Having Way too Much Fun!

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

~ Signs of Spring ~

I have been playing around with
 Digital Collage and Layering a Bit.
I am still Learning about
 the Vast Program
known as Photoshop.
I finally had to just Jump Straight In.
This is what I came up with.
What I have Learned thus Far
 has surely  made my
Digital Collage Work
so much Faster & Easier
to Create.
In the Past it would Take Hours
to Create a Piece Like this
 using the Program I used before.
The Beautiful Images I used Here are
 Hybrid Images from
 Paper Whimsy.
I am Looking Forward to doing more!
Have a Wonderful Day Everyone!

~Won't You Be Mine~

~The best and most beautiful things in the world

They must be felt with the heart.~
