Welcome!

This is a special Art Journal created for the 100 themes Challenge at Digital Whisper. We have been given 100 different themes to inspire and create digital collage art over the course of a year. All of my art is created in Photoshop Elements 7 and is made using personal photos, stock photos, copyfree and digital kit imagery. All sources will be noted in the post. Please enjoy and watch this journal grow!

Urban Warrior

Sacred Play




This is my entry for the Digital Whisper 100 themes challenge #48 "Childhood". This beautiful vintage photo from Magic Moonlight Free imagery  just touched my heartstrings when I think about how special my dolls were to me in my childhood. From  my "Thumbelina" baby doll , Raggedy Ann and later on to Barbie, Ken, Skipper and Scooter and even my assorted Troll dolls all gave me a sense of comfort and sacred play. Other added lace imagery from Scrapbookfraphics.

Origins




Late by myself, in the
boat of myself,
no light and no land
anywhere,
cloudcover thick.
I try to stay
just above the surface,

yet I'm already under
and living
within
the ocean.
--Rumi


This is my entry for the digital whisper challenge #72 (Oceans). The back ground is my own made from fabric and sea life imagery from Dover. Other imagery from Dover (Mermaids) as well and Holliewood at Deviant art.

Starstruck

This is my entry for the Digital-Whisper 100 themes #27 "Rockstar". I used a magazine image and changed up Lady Gaga with stars in her eyes. An amazing performer who leaves it all on the stage; truly an artisan and innovative musician in the rock/pop tradition. Other elements from Holliewood and Finecrafted at deviant art scraps and music clippings.
