what I learnt, thanks too several artists , specially Teesha Moore



“Thank God I have the seeing eye, that is to say, as I lie in bed I can walk step by step on the fells and rough land seeing every stone and flower and patch of bog and cotton pass where my old legs will never take me again.” 
Beatrix Potter

I do love this quote, to have the seeing eye...when you work on collages, in art-journal...etc, you need plenty images, so it's very important to learn how to find them, and how to spend as little money as possible to get them...That's why a printer is very useful, and a good program on your computer , I use photoshop elements...when you find a picture you like, scan it, modify it, then print it...Look what I did...

this one

+that one
 
=this last one, after a transformation through Photoshop


Whenever I can manage to create my own papers I do it...it's more satisfying and so much cheaper...I spent 94 euros to buy Photoshop elements 10 and I do think it was worth it...

things are changing....

years go by...you learn things, create...that's nice, pleasant...for you...
but one day something new happens...
a new house, a new place to create...
new ideas coming or old tricks you never tried...
a new freedom...
and then you realize you are ready to share...
not only through your blog, but with people in ordinary life...
may be Children
I'll let you know...

you feel free again, if you need horses, you just carve a potato
and make a stamp with it...so simple...

another digital collage

The butterflies are having an important conversation:
"where are we going to spend our holidays ?"

The inside of a wooden and metal  peg, a flower from my garden, photos of butterflies from the net,
the back ground is an old garden chair, my dog's eye,
