[Cosette]

anna and mirrra I can't get over how beautiful those pieces are!

[Spike413]

You three have such a talent! Wondeful creations, each of them.


It's been a while since I did one of these....so I did two!

 

[adorefaith]

this is incredible.....
i dont understand......
how do you all make these?!....

 

[Spike413]

I just used paint and PhotoImpression (but I'm sure any photo editing program would do) and then just cut, paste and played around with all of the tools.....it's a lot of fun actually.

 

[Cosette]

^It really is fun! I love erasing around the edges of the overlapping layers to reveal what's underneath- my favourite part.

Scott - I adore those, especially the first one.

Edit: Why did I call you Scott? I'm so sorry Spike. I was up at 5am today and am obviously a tad delirious...

 

[Estella*]

cosette, that new one is so beautiful!
spike, fantastic, i love yours!!

we all seem to be in a similar mood right now

adorefaith, if you have paint or even photoshop, as spike said, you can just cut and paste and layer....

 

[adorefaith]

wow....
maybe i'll give this a shot....
i dont even know where to begin!...?....

do you generally create one big base and then layer on top of that?....

 

[Estella*]

^that' how i do it, yes.
do give it a try, i'd love to see a collage from you

 

[Cosette]

thanks anna!
adorefaith, that's how I do it too, and then just have fun! I'd love to see one from you, too!

 

[adorefaith]

alright-----i gave it a shot....
i dont even know what i'm doing!....
this took me forever.....
