Altered Postcards




These are my first altered postcards - I have such a large collection of old postcards! It's great to find something creative to do with them. I'll be trading these out at Paper Traders. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Paper_Traders/

Mandalas

I finally learned to create a mandala using Photoshop. I took a photo I had taken in Jamaica and used a section of it over and over. I made some color adjustments and used a filter on the finished piece.

Mandalas

I used a photograph I took of a Dale Chihuly glass sculpture . In Photoshop, I rotated and flipped a section of the photo and then applied filters and lighting effects.
This one is created using a Clare Goodwin pattern I downloaded from her site. It was in the Virtual Coloring Books, Volume I.

I used the template to insert pictures I took on our trip to London and the Cotswolds.
