roadside attractions

hooray! the brand new blog challenge site our midweek muse is open for business with the theme of "making memories." my bestie and i love a road trip and all the roadside attractions you can see, so i grabbed a photo of us at the cabezon dinosaurs in cabezon, california, and doctored it up with images from a retired rucola designs kit called "paleopsychedelic," and here is the result! that trip had lots of lovely memories. congrats to Ann and Deann for starting the new challenge blog!

love to all.

where the wild things are

i got to pick this week's theme for the three muses challenge and my idea was "where the wild things are." although it is, of course, a fabulous children's book, the challenge is to just work with the idea of wild things. i chose dinosaurs.

i used images from rucola designs, itKuPiLLi, holliewood studios (all from mischief circus) and dezinaworld (retired). the fractals digital kit from holliewood studios is responsible for the outer-spacey background, i love it!

love to all.

a little one's dinosaur fantasy

for take a word: childhood

little boy by dezinaworld; background by miles beyond the moon tanglewood; all other images from rucola designs paleopsychedelic period.

wishing you a new year of happy fantasies coming true.
love to all.

favourite era?

at the cheeky challenge this week we are invited to share a creation on the topic of "favorite era."  i was challenged to think of what my favorite era might be.  i went way back in time for this one:

i have a favorite children's book called "dinotopia" about a time and place where people and dinosaurs lived in relative harmony.  the artwork and illustrations in that book are beyond beautiful and i highly recommend the book both for the intriguing story but also for the art.  anyway that story inspired this digital piece.

background and people from dezinaworld; butterfly by itKuPiLLi; dinosaurs are found images. 

although there is a hint of danger in the corner, i feel this is a peaceful scene -- but what do you see when you look at it?

the dinosaurs in the dinotopia book had a teaching and a philosophy: "breathe deep; seek peace."  i really like that.

love to all.
