DREAMERS CHALLENGE DEC 28th, 2014 "HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Appropriately this weeks theme is 

"Happy New Year"

 Another year is about to end and a brand new one is only three days away.

Farewell 2014.

A New Year can bring memories of the past year, be they good or bad and bring resolutions and visions for the new year.

What will yours be?

Mine is to get back to Zumba Fitness and lose the weight I have gained since the class here in Coos Bay was cancelled. I bought the Zumba Fitness DVD and will do it here at home.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Since Christmas is in 24 days and "Santa" will be here in 23 days I have chosen

 "Santa" as the theme for this week's challenge.

Here is my contribution to inspire you. I have used an image of Santa from the internet and manipulated it with the face of my oldest Granddaughter. Used some texture overlays and Photoshop brushes to finish the piece. Let your creative juices flow! Happy Creating and Merry Christmas!

Dark Challenge " Gypsy Soul "

I have had the pleasure of meeting some gypsy's where we are in Rodeo, NM  at a campground where we have been staying. They and the Caravan have stopped to rest a few days. Their horses are beautiful as are the people.

Anyway hence the challenge title 

 " Gypsy Soul"

I know the gypsy life as been a constant interest to me so please let your imaginations go, let your muse flow

It doesn't have to be a dark piece, Remember its what you feel and think about when you see the challenge.

This will be my last challenge till the beginning of the year

So I wish everyone a Wonderful Holiday

filled with Blessings

Remember you can enter a piece as often as you like

you are not limited in any of the challenges.
Here is one of my pieces I did a year or so ago and it seems fitting .I will work on one while on the road tomorrow, headed for Sierra Vista,AZ

DREAMERS CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 23, COWBOY BOOTS

This weeks challenge is "Cowboy Boots"

A bit unusual for a challenge? Yes, but when I saw this copyright free image from Ryan Mcquire, I just had to use it and since it is copyright free you can use it too.

Cowboy Boots come in all different styles and colors. Here are some things to spark your imagination.

They can be fancy for the parade, rugged for the rodeo with spurs or the ranch hand who is wrestling cattle. Girls wear them as well as children. They can dress up the prettiest western outfit for a barn dance or kick the tires of that old tractor.

This is what I did with the image of cowboy boots.
I used two backgrounds from Gratisography. Two vintage images of pin up girls and of course the image of cowboy boots from Ryan McGuire. Filters and Photoshop brushes finished this piece.

Happy Creating!

DREAMERS CHALLENGE OCTOBER 25, 2014

JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN
THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE IS "WEBS"

Halloween is a holiday I have never been fond of. I hate the colors of Halloween and the witches, monsters and  blood and gore that come with it. The children have fun dressing up in there costumes and with their sacks, off they go to trick or treat. Seeing all the cute LITTLE ones is the only good thing about Halloween in my opinion.

I once went to a Halloween party and dressed up as the bride of Frankenstein. Of course my husband was Frankenstein. We actually had a wedding ceremony and that was fun.

Here is my contribution to this Halloween 2014. Hope this will inspire you to create your best Webs ever!

 

"Webs"

My biggest fear during Halloween are spiders. Did you notice that October seems to brings the spiders out? I see the webs all over my apple tree and plants on the deck. The early morning fog leaves just enough moisture to make these webs more visible. Although I appreciate the work the spider did to make such an intricate piece of artwork, I hate them !
What is your greatest fear?

The Dark Challenge for October "The Bowels of Hell"

The Bowels of Hell

This weeks "Dark Challenge" is your version of 
The Bowels of Hell.

I went a head and did my interpretation ..we all have visions of what it must be like
if there is such a place. Use whatever images and elements you have I have the
 Hotel Hell kit and used some people from my collections.
This is a fun time of year when the bizarre and ugly are beautiful in some way.
Have fun...

DARK WHISPER CHALLENGE SEPT. 6, 2014

Hello Digital Whisper members!

Welcome to the first challenge on the Digital Whisper blog from the " Dark Whisper Group".

We hope you contribute to all of the challenges we put together for you, and have fun and feel challenged.   Also feel free to leave comments on others submissions. We all love to hear that we did a great job.

With my challenges for the "Dark Whisper Group" I have no rules ( except no porn). You can submit as many digital pieces as you want. I know how it is when you have a piece finished and submit it and you're in a groove. Your muse is going crazy with ideas and techniques. The more the wonderful works of art to look at the better.

  The Challenge for this month is " Misty Moonlight" 
I apologize that I do not have access to images to provide for you for this challenge. I am moving with my husband and two dogs. Lots of things going on including creating bouquets for 5 weddings. Just a little chaos right now.

So this first challenge, get your elements, images and backgrounds and truly make it your own. I am asking for your input and suggestions on challenges, so  feel free to contact me anytime with ideas.

If you can give a little info on how you did your piece, i.e., brushes used, light techniques, images and sources ( no links) just the name of a kit and credits, this helps everyone learn too.

"Misty Moonlight"  how's it make you feel...what do you think of? Have you been in a Misty Moonlight? 

Have at it members of Digital Whisper. I will work on mine in between cries of letting go of my shoes and purses.
