Star of Wonder

Star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beaming light ....

I enjoy using this "Artifacts " star from Stampin'UP! It is reminiscent of the support rod ends in the old brick homes in St.Louis.

I've been struggling to pull projects together for the 12 Days , and have been determined to get something posted.

This stated out as a leftover card element from a swap several years ago. It's been shoved around in my scrap paper bin waiting for a project. I picked it up and found it went well with some printed Christmas tissue paper. I took its picture and edited it through several iPhone apps. Picture Show, Picfx, and Impression ( it adds the text).

This photo shows editing in progress after Picture Show App.




I love using the iPhone as a creative tool and in my head I pretend the monthly fee is part of what I would spend on art supplies during that month.

Funny thought!

Here's the original "capture ".

Step Into The Future

"I like stepping into the future. Therefore, I look for doorknobs."

— Mark Rosen

When stepping into the future I always have my iPhone with me. I am amazed by the photos I can take with the built in camera and assorted photo applications.I just enjoy the whole process. I may not understand how/why the technology works, but it sure is fun, and I love the results. Today at church I became facinated by the vintage door knobs. I took several photos, but it just begins to brush the surface of the fun close ups that can be taken throughout the building.

I think all of us are "called" to certain apps and they may dominate your work, not much different than an artist who uses fluid acrylics, or pastels, or charcoal.

Celebrating 57

Playing with photos and iPhone apps, a great way to finish a great day.

Neon along the Morgan Ford

It's addictive, iPhone photography...I can't just take a photo.


























I can't just crop it or adjust the contrast.






















So many photo apps.... And only 7 gigs of space remaining.























Time to weed the collection.

I've been playing this weekend over on http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/ They are having an "sisiversay" celebration with fun tutorials, on-line classes and challenges. I found the photo scavenger hunt to fit it best with my current art pursuits. But all is fun there. You may need to sign in to get to the forums, but it's free.

http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/forums/39_33939_0.html this is the link to the scavenger hunt, there are lots of other challenges as well.!

My photo was taken with the iPhone and modified with the Art Camera Application, I then adjusted the color a bit to pull in some more orange. The challenge was to take a self-portrait and in your portrait incorporate each color of the rainbow...in any way you choose. I have a large star, each point is a different color. I thought it would probably show up in the Art Camera application, as assorted colors. It did!!!

More iPhone Fun

Marco Island Rainey Day, i Phone/photo app fun!
