Photo Art Friday


This was a fun challenge.  I love making collages and often make them as gifts for my family and friends.  The first two I made for this challenge ... the last is one I made from pictures I had taken on our lake.  It actually is hanging on my wall.  Thanks Bonnie, you always come up with good ideas ...


Happy Photo Art Friday :)
(OMG, it's May already and it is still cold here!)

I like your cat collage best - we had two ginger cats like this, he looks really regal

All so beautiful - but the composition and textures on the cat composite are amazing. The fur seems SO real I just want to reach out and stroke her/him! Always a treat to view your artwork, Andrea.

The first one is so beautiful - the lightning, the texture, the lot!

Oh WOW! Each one is amazing. Of course being a Cat Lover that first one really spoke to me. I'd love to create something like that with pictures of our cats but haven't a clue as to how I would do it.
I can see why you have the last piece hanging on your wall, it's beautiful.

I like collages. That second one would be a warzone! Ythe third reminds me of my poem, "Requiem".

nice work. I´d make a pillow of your cat and a curtain of the beautiful birds. :)

Thanks for the nice comment on my Guraded Magnolia. A few peopel wanted to know how I created it. I have tried to do a "recipe" on Bildverkstan. But somehow I think it takes the magic away. If you want to se it it is here: http://nfverk.blogspot.se/2014/05/guarded-magnolia.html

These are great collages, but I have to say that the first image of the cat is my favorite. The textures and colors are so warm and inviting. I love the expression on the cat's face too. Very peaceful and confident. Beautiful. Hugs, Edna B.

That first one is just so fabulous, I love the subtle touch of the cats in the background, so nicely done!

Beautiful! I love what you've done here, and finding collages a litte hard to work with myself (they tend to end up very... conventional :) ) I am grateful for the inspiration!
