For the last few years, I had my schedule jammed packed with teaching gigs. Loved every minute of it but it took a toll on me. I realized I forgot how to be an artist. I have forgotten how to create just for fun, allowing my muse to take it's course. I believe by doodling, it's helping me break through and get back to where I started.
I also started playing with my doodles in Photo Shop. So many things you can do to alter your own creations. Here are a few examples of what I did in Photo Shop with this doodle.
By playing with filters, adjusting light and shadows, I came up with different views of the original piece. I could now print these off and use as background pages in collage work. I could also print them off on fabric and use as a focal point. The opportunities to use them are endless.
Original piece.
Using Photo shop I was able to create a couple new different looks.
I could print this one out and re-color it.
A little different.
I really love how this one turned out. I could wear this!
Just fun to try and let loose, let go, just play!
I recently discovered this at Hobby Lobby. All the above where created on these 6" x 6" Tiles. I'm addicted.
