PAPER ROSES......

Paper Roses, to quote the old Marie Osmond Song......

Taking time out to photograph, scan and edit some of my vintage, textiles, wallpapers and ephemera is a monumental task but I am determined to get it done. I am trying to set for myself the goal of photographing or scanning five a day. I know this does not sound a lot but when I get busy it is so easy to end up having not scanned or documented a single item......

So today I got my trusty camera out and photograph five items. Which in itself can equal thirty to forty photographs that I carefully sift through trying to pick out the best one. My latest digital artwork is made up of a number of vintage papers and wallpapers and I like how they turned out......

There are many days that I create nothing that is worth showing, you are lucky you do not get to see the ones that I discard. Believe me they are truly awful but even so I still love sitting down in front of the computer with a new blank page. The digital art that works out and ends up in my Etsy store makes it worth while......

For all of the digital artists out there I know how much labour and love goes into each and every creation. Have fun with it even on the not so nice days when nothing seems to work!
