Found Memories Art

Being the further misadventures of an artist, her camera, some rotating art supplies, and a mind that wanders and roams while her feet stay pretty much in the same place (unfortunately)!
Found Memories Art is where you'll find a little something about collage, mixed media, and photos. Maybe a bit of life here in an old log cabin in the woods thrown in for fun.
Just a hint: click on the pics to see them better!

So I Only Made One Photomontage Today!

Here Spot, Can I Keep Him? photomontage

This is called: “Here Spot, Can I keep him?”

I imagine the little girl having dragged him away from his porch just down the street.. You know how little girls and puppies can be. And Spot’s Mom just realized he is gone and is calling him.

The little girl, I got from the internet a couple of years ago a freebie. I did extract her from her background and messed with her color and contrast and all that good stuff plus wiggled her around till she fit in the chairs better. (I think with CS4  I could have done a much better job of this ‘cause it has the warp feature. But I hafta work with what I have at hand:PSE7.)

The chairs are from the World’s Longest Yard Sale,I think last year. I thought they were cool looking between the color and the rust.

The dog is my daughter’s, Oscar. I’ve added some of my paper with a layer style.

The main background is actually an art journal page of mine before I added the words.

I then blended in a picture of a building in Chicago(turned sideways) and a log, for their textures.

I just painted in the edges after adding a gradient layer.

That’s it for today. I’m hoping my back is better. Thanks for all the words of support! At least I’ve been able to keep up with my email the last few days!!

Ever onward my spotty friends!
