#14 ~ I Only Have eyes for You Series ~ I

“My little girls are the most beautiful women in the world. I am a lucky, lucky man.
 I will spend every day making sure that they know this."
~Russell Simmons

“Say what you want about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins.”

~Mae West

“I base most of my fashion sense on what doesn’t itch me.”

Gilda Radner

Look closely and you will see the eye that is on the women.

Thus post is linked with Pippa’s “Friends Meet Friends Once a Week”.



Pippa asks us what we have been doing this week. Well, I have been trying to learn how to combine my pictures and stock images to create some digital artwork. Oh, my, it is hard. One day I spent about 10 hours struggling with layers, textures, and cutting out stock pictures like in this one and getting onto the layer where I needed them to be.  Then I have had to figure out how to move them to a location I like. I created a post card series “I Only Have Eyes for You” years ago, but now I am going to try to create a new one with digital images. The love of learning something new and perseverance are the name of the game.

    Sorry, but I have completely lost the ability to speak or write in English, because I never did since 1971...

  11. There's never a lack of things to learn in technology! Interesting collage. My biggest puzzle right now is trying to determine just how accessible my Picasa photos will be to others if I join Google+. I don't like the idea of others being able to go through all my photos, but then I don't know enough about it to know for sure that's what they mean. It annoys me that Google+ is always trying to get me to join up, but never tells me why I should want to. Sorry for rambling. Anyway, enjoy your projects. :-)

  12. That's pretty cool. I haven't worked much with layers, I should really work on improving my understanding. My first step will be to try 'focus stacking'.
