I wanted to experiment with a few free programs to see if I could get something beautiful. so I used Gimp, equivalent of Photoshop but free, Picsketch and Photofunia, both free too. The two ladies are pictures I took from the internet, so I don’t have the credits for them. I just played with the two pictures.
this is a photomontage I made with various programs. the cute little girl on the picture is my niece Esther-Lea, I love this girl! she loves dressing up like I loved (and still love!). so I made this dress for her using fabric and rubber bands to attach the fabric to each other and to make curls and fancy fabric flowers. then she got scarves for a crown and a belt. The little rabbit is our rabbit, a furry rascal called Popom. The style of rabbit who thinks she can fly. I added her on the picture because a forest princess needs an animal next to her and because my niece loves Popom. Then I used a picture for the background from a beautiful place in Belgium called the ‘Kalmthoutse Heide’ and then I added another background to make this strange sky.
Well that’s it. do you like it?
discovered some interesting computer program: you draw something and then it draws simultaneously the same thing five more times. so after drawing some abstract things, tried these houses (which I coloured) the nice part is that I made from the middle a garden, looks like a tiny village 🙂 do you love it?
For my project ‘matryoshkas’ I made something different. using a previous drawing – matryoshka with baby – I created a Mandala, you can recognize her face, isn’t it funny?
And this is the third Matryoshka I made for my project ‘Matryoshkas’. This time a doll made out of words, but not random words. I used words from the history of the Russian nesting dolls.
Here I put the link to wikipedia (in case you wanted to learn something more about these cute and interesting wooden dolls. 😉 History of the Matryoshka. )
(the only word that has nothing do to with the history of the dolls is ‘simha’ – that’s my name… but the name of the artist deserves to be in the work isn’t it? 😀 )
