Ancient (#9) and Reflections (#66)

This piece is entitled "Rosetta" for the (Ancient) theme at digital-whisper. The imagery used in this collage is from Dover, wikimedia, E-vint.com. Old text is derived from Hebrew, Egyptian and some Celtic sources. Reduced opacity and soft light filters were used for ageing effects.

make me whole again.


This is my entry for the theme "Reflections". I found this beautiful image of a Heron on wikimedia and created the background from vintage botanical prints. Added oriental characters and elements from Finecrafted designs.

  3. OOHH!! Lori!! These works are so magical! I just love this way of doing a 'challenge'... I can work for as long as I want and do as many as I want.... with the inspiration of words and coming in to see just what everyone else is doing... just a great way to keep my hand in.
    I look forward to seeing more of your fabulous works, my friend.
