Not that one - this one!

Darn it - I forgot to alter my app media settings. Sorry...
Here it is again, only bigger.

For @michaelnobbs 5th Twitter Birthday

Today is Michael Nobbs' (creator of SustainablyCreative.com) 5th Twitter birthday. So here's a little present...it should *print out ok, so long as you don't try and make it the size of a poster...

Happy Birthday Mr Micro :) thanks for helping me feel less alone.

*At some point I'll figure out an app that lets me make a printable card...

Still playing with that Rollage image

Mostly 'Lens light' and my perennial favourite 'Scratchcam'. Hopefully I listed the other apps in that previous post...

I suspect I'm about to become somewhat fascinated by saving Lens light effects without the image and seeing where that leads...

Two new apps here too - Frame Magic and Polamatic (I used Polamatic for the splash page of my website. What do you think? I may change the photo and message every few weeks...)

Take your #art pen for a walk...

If you recall, the week before last I wrote about the free creative course being run by Kate England at MarmaladeMoon.com
One of the tasks was to write a word and hide it with doodles that ran to the edge of the page (I'm simplifying here, you need to sign up for more info ;)
I can't always hold a pen so though I managed to begin a doodle I wasn't able to finish filling it in...so I did another one with my finger on my iPad using Art Rage. I filled it in with Meritum Paint.

It reminded me of an art activity that I used to do with children - taking your pencil for a walk across the paper, the pencil never leaves the surface and you must keep it moving. Then you fill in the spaces in between with patterns. Some of the results were amazing and it tells you a lot about the person doing the drawing...and there are a variety of adaptations possible.

Anyway - layering was the next step. Photographing the doodle and adding to it, looking at it in different ways... I've kind of gone my own route here because I'm struggling with the heat and energy is almost non-existant.

Coincidentally I'd doodled, photographed and apped sketches earlier last month...so the images with this post are -
The ink pen doodle after apping,
The digital doodle after apping,
And some of the stages along the way including two of my earlier photographed doodles.
