More fun with patterns and textures in PSE 8.
when you're not looking
©2012 Michelle V. Alkerton
Life happens whether or not you're paying attention. These beautiful shoots are in my front garden and by the height of them they've been peeking out for at least a week. That's about four weeks earlier than last year. I haven't been out much lately and when I have, it's from the side door to the car and back, so I didn't have my eyes open to nature as much as I usually do. I just love the little surprises and the promise of new life when I remember to take the time to look :).

soft metal etching

This soft metal etching was created with a new brush I designed along with my birch bark texture in PSE 8. Oooohhh the possibilities with digital art are always exciting!

my first Moleskine®
I'd never even heard of a Moleskine® a couple years ago, but while exploring wonderful artist blogs I kept coming across the reference and found out they were these cool sketchbooks that people were using. I checked out the manufacturer and liked what I read, so to Amazon.ca I went in search of a Moleskine® of my own. This is the classic large watercolour sketchbook and I hope I'll be brave enough to actually make a mark in it. lol As previously revealed in my post Craving Paper, I do love paper and as pictured below, books too! But, holding a beautiful Moleskine® and reading through all these wonderful art books does not make me an artist. I have to actually create some art. Wish me luck.

stages

I was surprised to see the various stages of this thistle all on one plant at the same time. The starter background layer for this photopainting was the canvas I painted with gesso slashes over acrylic in the picture below.

my custom man
I am so very lucky to be married to such an incredibly talented man. He spruced up the bathroom and then made us a custom tissue holder to match the newly refinished vanity doors.

remembering Milosh
©2012 Michelle V. Alkerton
I once hand quilted a postcard using this image. I'm honoured I was able to meet Milosh the artist and capture this piece of his art before they both returned to the soil. Milosh died Aug. 16, 2002 on the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. Gone but not forgotten.

shaping thought
Thanks to fellow artist blogger Black Pumpkin over at Timeless Rituals who shared the link to Tagxedo. I had fun using my own images to shape my thoughts. There are just so many cool tools out there.
