Athena

As I wasn't entirely happy with my work yesterday I thought I'd have another go with the Artarazzi image. Here's version 2.

The rite of spring

Here's my contribution to the artarazzi challenge #34. Not terribly imaginative, but it highlights the beauty of this regal bird.

Blushing Geisha

The Artarazzi challenge it to use the picture of the sake barrels. I named this picture after a cocktail which includes sake. I just hope the sake label isn't rude or anything!

Is anyone there?

The Artarazzi challenge for this week is to use the photo of the mobile phone.

We used to do this together

Here's my version of the Artarazzi image for this week.

Constancy

Faye really stumped me in the artarazzi challenge with this sunflower image, so I delved into Photoshop a bit more and discovered how to make layer masks and change colour levels. You need sunglasses for this one!

"The sunflower is a favourite emblem of constancy"

Technician

The Artarazzi challenge is to use the ladder image. I achieved this look with the aid of many brushes.

Mischievous fairy

The given Artarazzi image this week is of a girl, (bottom right on the walkthough), who I think has lots of 'attitude'. I've turned her into a fairy who's just out for trouble!

I can't get across

The Artarazzi image for this week is the one of the boy crying. Originally because he's broken his lamp, but here for a reason more significant.

We're all individual

The Artarazzi challenge 25 is to use the given fingerprint image. Another chance for me to try out some new techniques in Photoshop.

Toccata and Fugue

This week's image from Artarazzi really stumped me until my mind wandered in the service at church this morning, and I sat gazing at the organ pipes.

I've included a sort of work in progress tutorial, as I find these so helpful on other people's blogs.
