Time for Something Arty

I haven't done much in the way of arty stuff lately so I'm posting some old and a little new. "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" and "Destiny" are pieces I did in a workshop that my sister and I organised with Michael Demeng when he was last in Australia. We all had a terrific time and learned so much from Michael, a very warm and geneous teacher. And I finished a piece each day, something very unusual for me in a class!!

Gothica is an ATC I made for a swap. I used Photoshop extensively for the images both in the background and foreground and made the bat stamp myself.

The jigsaw piece is for another swap- Rich Red and Gold. I was a little stumped for a decent image which would fit the shape without having to do too much tracing and cutting in such a limited space. Then, when I did the background and the paperclay image, I thought it looked very Baroque, so I decided just to decorate rather than add any more images. It's not the sort of thing I usually do but I'm quite happy with it. I have no idea how it will fit into the completed jigsaw as there were no other guidelines. It will be interesting to see how the individual pieces combine.

Now I just need to learn how to manipulate my images on this screen better. All tips gratefully accepted.
