"Fish"

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Fish.” I created the complete circle from a partial image. I made the background from a section of another image.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to comment on my Botanica postcard last week. I normally catch up with looking/commenting on challenges I’ve entered within a few days, but this past week I haven’t had time to do that, nor work on new challenges, until this weekend.

"Golden Gothic Arch" - The Red Rose Rag Cover

This week’s Soartful Saturday challenge was to use “The Red Rose Rag Cover” image provided by the challenge site. I used the frame to create a Gothic Arch, which I plan to reuse. I put the urns in the upper corners. Then I tiled a star pattern tile and colored the blank areas gold. I have included the original picture from the challenge site.

"Happy 100th Dollface!"

This week’s Thank God It’s Friday challenge number 100 was the number “100” in celebration of the site’s 100th challenge. I used this handsome 1940s looking guy and modified the image somewhat. Then I added the words “Happy 100th Dollface!” and the red kiss lips.

"Triskelion" - Tag

This week’s Tag Tuesday challenge number 14 was “trio” where the challenge was to use three of something. I remembered the word triskelion, which I always liked, and decided to use three of them. The tag fastening point is the traditional triskelion that I had first seen when I learned the meaning of the word.

"Art Creations Friday - Challenge 38"

I created a 4x6 postcard for the Art Creations Friday Aug 28, 2009 challenge (number 38). The challenge site provided the ballet couple image, titled Swan Lake. I ended up going in a slightly surreal direction.

Notes: For some unknown reason, when I used Firefox to save the PNG file from the challenge site, it was actually a JPG file inside, and the background was white instead of invisible. In parallel with getting help from Marie, I decided to try Explorer, and it saved the file correctly. I need to investigate further what is going wrong with Firefox.

"Cupcakes" - Gothic Arch

This week’s Gothic Arches challenge was “Cupcakes” in celebration of the site’s 2-year anniversary. There will also be extra challenges during the next two weeks. I used birthday clipart and a banner. I used a tracery window, which I modified, for my arch, then colored it.
