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 it is just so nice outside

that I don’t even want to be in the studio  at all!

I want to be out with Tommy and whichever of the 5 cats are awake!

I feel like  soaking up any little bit of the sun ‘cause I know soon there won’t be any…just cold dreary days. And then I’ll be hunkered down under lots of layers of warm winter clothing.

I’m a summer gal now! Give me a glowing sun, warm days, green grass or even better sand and ocean, and I’m a happy camper.  The winter chill that is coming cuts right through to my bones, and leaves me unable to think clearly.

So, I’ve been gathering the wonderful rays of warm yellow to keep safe for as long as I can during the coming winter siege. But that means art takes a back seat.

I did make this digital montage this morning. (be sure to click on it to get the full effect) I had been thinking of Van Gogh lately, and this is a tribute to his Starry Nights, called Starry Hollyhocks.

I would like to thank Renate over at Put a Little Magic in Your Life for letting me use a picture of her freshwater pearls as a background texture in this.

There is more texture in this,including a fabric piece and the log cabin itself that is behind where the hollyhocks grew.

So now back to the sun, with the dog and cats before that gorgeous moon comes up and steals it away!

Ever onward my sunlit friends.

Laura, this is awesome! I love it! I just wish I knew how you did it... I am still struggling with my software!

Happy that you like it. I've been using Photoshop for years, but this is not too far above basic...just working with layers and blending and textures and masks. All it takes is working with the program little by little, often to get used to it!

I'll be happy to hear what you think!
