Red Rose
Silly me, I forgot to mention that I joined the 'Creative every day 2012' the other day. Click on the link to see who else has joined in.
I made this digital creation for the Collage Obsession challenge - Red
I started with a lovely rose image from the Graphics Fairy shown below.
I had planned to design a repeating pattern for fabric with it but the rose wasn't quite right close up [for fabric] so I altered the picture. I moved some of the leafy bits and put on one of my own rose photos which I'd altered.
I removed the background and replaced it with one I had created, I used the backs of some vintage photos - there was a shopping list on one of them! The leaves and buds were the only part that was left of the original image, but the picture gave me inspiration.
This is one repeat of the fabric/wallpaper/gift wrap.
I will be adding it to my Spoonflower collection soon.

Torso Tags and Turquoise [TAW]
Take a Word - the challenge this week is the colour turquoise.
I upcycled this image of a kingfisher from an old calendar and placed it on a painted background.
A week or so ago the challenge on Three Muses was for torso tags, a bit late I know, but it is the first time I've made any of these. The torso shape is a 1905 vintage ladies corset and drawers and was part of a page of white wear. Most of the images I used on them were from the Graphics Fairy.

Coffee [TAW]
Take a Word - this weeks challenge is 'coffee'
The coffee adverts were from a book entitled 'How it all began in the pantry'. The figures were from the book 'Women: a pictorial archive from Nineteenth century sources'.
The background, cups, cakes are my drawings.

Digital Art - Lady, butterflies & skeletons
These two are digital creations. The images are from Graphics Fairy apart from the strawberries in the lower picture. Both of the backgrounds are my own creations, the one at the top was developed from a hand made stamp & paint and the one below from skeleton leaves.
