It looks like it may well rise up the mountain slowly. And I do love the results of your computer manipulation of the image...the different coloration...and resulting different mood. Your art is strong. It can withstand all kinds of manipulation and hold up. I see many different applications. Whether a calendar page, post card, cover for a writing pad/notebook, etc. Your use of the bits of white make the art bounce with life to my eye. Love your work Kim!! *smiles* NormaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624917559654137641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947836447763537498.post-59934909448717672852013-02-05T02:22:41.175-08:002013-02-05T02:22:41.175-08:00oh, it looks great - and yes: a postcard from your...oh, it looks great - and yes: a postcard from your computer play!<br />:-) mano<br />manohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09050666019695673654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947836447763537498.post-76316467194839374272013-02-04T17:18:20.495-08:002013-02-04T17:18:20.495-08:00Hi Kim, success is in the eyes of the beholder. xo...Hi Kim, success is in the eyes of the beholder. xo Carole<br />PS computer play is such fun!Carole Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761259557061105360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947836447763537498.post-5401498288416972482013-02-04T12:53:24.590-08:002013-02-04T12:53:24.590-08:00I think this turned out fine ... something I'v...I think this turned out fine ... something I've noticed is all the factors that can make things seem to work or not. Moods, weather, time. It's always good to put a piece aside and give it more energy on another day.

Even muddied, there's an appeal...it's brooding and mysterious...a winter's day before the snow? Then I arrived at the last photo. It positively sings and glows! Yeah! You found a way to bring the light.

What you were hoping to achieve initially wasn't to your liking, but you learned that you like the process and will try it again. You expanded on what you had created and changed it with digitals and discovered something else. I still think working on teabags singly or stitched together is an incredible challenge and one you do beautifully.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.com
