NEW CARDS

Jane Milligan ArbeiterLeave a comment

I’m putting some new cards in my etsy shop this week.  They are blank inside, so they can be used to write a note, or as an any-occasion card, really.   The floral card is printed on linen card stock from a watercolor I did and the gentleman card was done as a digital collage, then printed on smooth matte white card stock.  My cards always include envelopes, too!

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – ANGULAR

Jane Milligan ArbeiterLeave a comment

This week’s challenge asks What does angular mean to you?  Well, my first thought went to the bridge going to Robert Moses State Park on Fire Island.  I’ve taken many photographs of the bridge and from the bridge, so this was an obvious choice.

I also had a picture I took from our high school, a kind of stairway to heaven. Playing with it a bit in Photoshop, making the building black and white, helps to accentuate the angles.

VERNIS

After working on some collage pieces, I had a section of a transparency left over – the top of a woman’s head.  I pasted it to a piece of watercolor paper then painted in a face to complete the head.  The word “vernis” was stamped on using an old metal French stamp I had gotten at a flea market.  Just a silly, but fun, exercise.

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – MINIMALIST

Minimalist

In this week’s challenge, show us your minimalist photos.  Minimalist photography is characterized by a large portion of negative space, a fairly monochromatic color palette with good contrast, and an interesting subject that is able to stand on its own to capture the interest of the viewer.

I took this photo from inside the house looking out.  The window shade was drawn and the silhouette of the sweet pea vine that was growing outside caught my eye.  This is a negative of that photograph, which I thought would make the image more graphic.
