barbieq25 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 @LionsDragonthe heat does that. It is cooler today 19 deg & not loving it Thank you for your lovely comment. @Woodsythe weather is really silly last couple of years. @Red ochreit is making me happy to have time to spend on here & create art once again. Forgotten how to do some stuff! @PixeyI felt a lot calmer that day It has been a very stressful time just lately. @lynxster4thank you! Tiny Treasures is was commissioned as a Facebook Banner for a fellow succulent & cactus addict She is very happy with her banner. This one I did last year but had never got to post it. 2 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbieq25 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 @LionsDragon& @Woodsythank you so much for your lovely comments. This one is a rework of a SOTW entry. I think the original was a black & white stock but I have long since lost the link. 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

LionsDragon Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Beautiful! It reminds me of the Rainbow Fish books, only grown-up and more elegant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 @LionsDragonI do like koi images. There is something intrinsically elegant (to steal your words) about koi fish. 2 new ones that I completed after them sitting for about a year in my "to finish" box. The outline for the ducks was made with Curly Lines. An experiment really & from that came My Lobster's in Love - Polar Inversion Plus.

barbieq25 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 @lynxster4, I feel more relaxed now. Art has always helped me cope. Thank you so much @Seerose. Like you & love colour even if my art can be very dark at times. This new one again is colourful. I've working in the garden & there is so much going on even if it is supposed to be winter here. This one is called In the Spring. The black flower outlines are a font, the waves are Gradients Galore & Inner Shadow. Much layers & blurring. 2 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

barbieq25 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 @Pixeyflower fonts are very useful. You can create nice design elements or even just use parts of them esp. now that we have much larger sizes to choose from. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

barbieq25 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Double post! New artwork. Maples in Utopia. Our friend Harry lives on the shores of Lake Utopia. If I went to visit him we'd be having waffles & maple syrup - the real stuff The leaves are stock http://orig08.deviantart.net/c46e/f/2017/027/7/3/japanese_maple_leaf_by_shivali_lorekeeper-dawyvql.png The water drops is based on the tute by @MadJik. Part of the circles is based on the Bokeh Effect tute by Welshblue. 3 2 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

barbieq25 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 @Seerose - fonts can be so useful esp. the flower ones now that we can make them really huge Thanks @lynxster4 I try to make sure they are. Good news! Spring has been used to advertise the Spring Festival's plant swap & sale in Toowoomba (the garden city) & Tiny Treasures garnered me 8 awesome enviable rare plants for creating a Facebook banner for a lady who sells cactus & succulents. Very happy! Here is a wallpaper of a plant called Fairies Washboard from my garden. Also used in the Mossy Ammonite from the TG thread. 3 2 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

barbieq25 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 @Seerose & @lynxster4thank you for your encouraging comments. I have a few of these but this one is my best @welshblueyep, it has been a change away from the dark & moody style of years gone by. Too many to mention now. The succulent manips are my faves too because most of my garden is now succulents & cacti. I am an addict. 3 things that spin my wheels aside from hubby: succulents, yarn & my beloved rats. I have 15 of them now. Hypertufa! Wow! They are really awesome. I buy things from the op shop & drill holes with a diamond core bit. 3 3 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.
