OOB - Out Of Bounds

Have I told you that I'm like a child? I want everything I see!
The last interesting thing I saw was OOB, that is out of bounds photos made in Photoshop. And of course I had to give this a try, too.
So here it is, my first... well, actually second try on this PS effect:
[my first was a real success, too. but it was a kind of family photo, and as you might have noticed, I don't make a habit of posting faces/portraits/people.]

I love this little fellow! Took this picture last year. Some two years ago we had many little leaf frogs in our garden. Then, I don't know what happened and the following year I only saw 2 or 3... So sad... I miss them.

The Other Me...

Well, here is the other me... a little bit deviant...
We went for a hike last week and... well... I found a cow!
It was not a living one, just the... you know... bones.
Here are two pictures of it. I used the vintage frames from The CoffeeShop Blog, go over there and you will find tons of tutorials, free stuff like frames, PS actions, storyboards and lot more.

 

Ha-ha! Do you know what these are??? The teeth! I like their shape, all those lines and curves and circles.

I took home some teeth and the two horns! I don't have a picture of the horns yet, they are out in the garden, on two poles. I would like to do something with them, don't really know what, maybe try carving or something.

Have a nice week!

See ya!

HAPPY 2013!

Well, this is 2013! I spent the last day of the last year out in the nature. We went for a hike and I just want to share some "postcards", snapshots I took.
The lake was frozen and frost was everywhere on the trees, leaves, berries. It was just fairy!

And here is my new cover photo on Facebook:

Have a great 2013!

See ya!

Embrace your mistakes...

Haven't been posting for some time... don't really know why. Well, I have a guess or two but let's not talk about this now.
I'd better share my pencil holder which I made from an empty milk carton and one of my paintings!
OMG!!! Did you hear this? - one of my PAINTINGS! The truth is that lately I've been trying my hand at journaling - for me to say ART journal would be way too much.
I had a journal page which was a total mess but as I couldn't just throw it out, and because I discovered a most beautiful blog LIFE IN COLOR [here is the link, I recommend you jump over and take a look!] which taught me "Embrace your mistakes…they can be beautiful if looked at another way!" I simply painted over that page.
Once again, I am not a painter, not even good at it, but... nevertheless, I scanned that page and then cut it in 4 and this is what I came up with:

 

 

Well, I think that this looks somewhat better than the page itself  and I am glad I didn't have the heart to tear it to pieces and... embraced my mistake.
You should try, too. They say that if we are afraid of making mistakes, we'll never do anything.
So get up and do something! Anything. Just DO something.

My Friends from Kacs

The neighbors next to us in Kacs have a black cat and 2 adorable kittens. They play a lot, and sleep a lot, and eat. In the beginning they were afraid, but last time we were there they just came in and enjoyed the company! I fed them, of course, and after a while we became so very close friends that I ended up with both of them taking a nap in my lap.

These are the pics from the time I could hardly put a finger on either of them:

 

 

 

 

  

The playful one!

  

 

 Still sucking:

 I've seen the dog!

 Mommy:

 

 

 Taking a nap.

 

 Who's bad???

See ya!
