Scrabble

Can't you tell the weather hasn't been too good these past few days LOL Just been messing around with my old scrabble board. It has to be well over 30 years old. It's got so many happy memories for me I just couldn't bring myself to throw it away.

My Dad & I used to play Scrabble on the dark nights of winter when the snow was on the ground and you didn't want to go out. We use to have a laugh both of us.... Some of the words we made up and argue they were real was so funny. I miss my Dad so much..... and my Mum too.

Finally

Again another rainy day so i've been trying out my still life & macro work. I've been aiming for a refletion in the water droplet and finally done it.

A piece of art

Above is a piece of digital art manipulated in Adobe Photoshop. The image is the underside of a gerbera. I decided i'd try out a technique a friend has shown me. The image was put into photoshop, a new layer made, and then inverted. The colour was altered with the Hue slider then softened with the saturation slider by desaturating slightly. A play with flip/rotation and crop, the adding of a border and that's it, all done.

Below is the photo of the original image.
