GIMP daisies

 

 

 

 

I have been playing around with GIMP again. This is the original picture I started with. While I like it as is I wanted to see what I could do with it. Here are the results.

I used the colour balance feature to give the photo the pink colour. Then I used the border Script-fu, followed by the bevel Script -fu. Both of these are found under the Decor Script – fu list. When adding the bevel I kept the bump layer which kept the corner definition. Not bad for a novice, in my humble opinion.

Teenie Weenie Doodle Diary

A few months ago on a Yahoo group called Purple Ink there was a doodle diary swap. I didn’t participate but I thought it was a neat idea. There was also a discussion about doing teenie weenie art. So I thought of combining the two ideas and this is what I came up with. I did it on a 6 by 6 inch piece of black paper using various gel pens including glitter, metallic, pastel and neon pens. This was a fun project!
