What I've been up to lately...

More art dollies...

...digi style!

Ice has a special place in my heart as she took a lot of photo-manipulation. She tested my skills. And I am very pleased with how she turned out. I feel guilty for having a favorite. But she's my favorite.

Fire was made after Ice. I used the same base model and recreated the original photo-manipulation. I felt this was important to do, to make sure the skills I learned creating Ice were concrete. Fire's hair was painted in Photoshop. Boy, did that take some time! And patience! Especially since it takes awhile to paint the hair...and how it begins does not look how it does in the end ;)

These gals were actually made in September. I am just now getting around to adding them here.

Holliewood Studios Art Dollies Halloween was used to make my dollies.

For Deviant Scraps October 2012 challenge, I decided to Scrap about Incubus attacks I had as a teenager. The photo of me, taken by Victor Chavez, was processed using Rad Lab and I added texture with one of Holliewood Studio's backgrounds from More Brains.

After processing, I incorporated the photo into a LO using backgrounds and elements from Pink Lotty's portion of Midnight Reverie. The evil looking clown is symbolic of the demon at my window during an Incubus attack. The Rosary is quite significant as the only way I could wake myself from these attacks was to recite the Hail Mary.

Hello...

my dear friends.
Have I been busy as ever!

Today, however.

Today was a welcomed break.

Time.

Time away from Anjeong-ri.
Time away from what has become my usual.

Bliss.

Yes, my day was full of bliss.
Let me tell you about it.

Today Pyeongtaek City hosted a Cultural Tour.
I began my morning visiting a nearby Buddist Temple
(pictures coming),
followed by three hours at the Suwon Folk Village.

Mmm...

...time.

Not enough of it spent there!
