Playing with more gelli prints...

Started doing up a bunch of lighter colored gelli prints for additions to art journal pages and scanned one to test out how it scanned. I didn't like the plain scan all that much so I started playing with the colors in PaintShopPro (my cheapo version of Photoshop) and made a mosaic in BigLabs to see some of the various colors I adjusted it to. The darkest one I made a negative of the colors. I have not played around with PSP for a long time and I had forgotten a lot of the cool things it can do, so I think I will be playing with it a bit in the coming weeks.

This was the original scan:

Mosaic Memories...

I was looking through some old travel photos from Spain in 2003 (hard to imagine it was 10 years ago!) and found these lovely reminders of Parc Guell mosaics in Barcelona. I adore Gaudi's work and this park is such a wonderful display of some of his whimsey.

It's Not Orange!

Yesterday I was looking through some of my old photos for examples of tiles and mosaics and found a couple of photos that caught my eye. Then later I found another cool linky party and guess what? It wasn't about orange! It was for blue!

Did I mention I love the idea of these linky parties? It gives me a chance to find new art friends and see some amazing blogs that I would never have found otherwise. And they are fun to participate in... so here is some blue!
