Sunflowers

I think that sunflowers are "funflowers" -- they put me in a good mood. Back in 2005, I had some really big ones in the garden. For a challenge at We Love Digital Art, I digitally altered three of my photos from that summer:

Girls with dolls

Girls with dolls is the new theme at Think Monday Think ATC. It inspired me to create this rather wistful digital ATC:

I wish I had a doll like hers.

Upcoming digital ATC swaps

I decided to take part in the next three digital ATC swaps organized by Elinor who is also a member of the Artist Trading Cards group. The three ATCs I chose for the swaps are Poe, Surreal, and Mermaid's Song:

The latter was featured on We Love Digital Art's homepage in August.

As international player I sent Elinor nine extra cards: Frankie's Eyes, Energy Wheel, Mad Smile, Little Mermaid, Think Positive, Alfred's Beard, Indian Hands, Egypt, and Circles:

I am already excited about receiving ATCs from fellow digital artists -- what fun!

Little critters

Isn't it amazing how many critters live in the garden if you only look close enough?

Dig it out

A while ago I bought an excavation kit for the archeologist in me. Working on a plaster block with a little excavation tool soon revealed two big heads from the Easter Islands (most likely made in China). After some final brushing and cleaning, Ernie and Bert looked like new.

Gothic arch tag

Gothic Arches celebrates its second anniversary -- congrats! The newest challenge is to create a gothic arch tag -- what a great idea. As Halloween is not too far away, I settled for a spooky theme. Below you see the plain tag as well as the tag with a background.
