Playing around in my photos again...I could get lost for hours manipulating photos. The inspiration began as I walked along the beach and spotted these sorts of shells everywhere. Don't they look like little wings?
I thought so and decided to digitally extract them. Here's a copy if you'd like them for your own personal use as well.
As long as we're sharing, here's the little girl I borrowed from here...
Starting with a background of clouds from my own photos I began adding and adding layer after layer. Many thanks and credit given to Karen at the Graphics Fairy for the use of the dove {extracted from a postcard she shared} as well as using the vintage ledger page from her collection.
Peace... xo, Sue
WOW you are making great strides in your photo play Lady! This is precious and the shells DO make perfect little wings. I call those Coquina Shells, we used to have lots on the Outer Banks ... in fact ... back in the day I made a Coquina Chowder ... it was all a surfer boys fault LOL ... yes, it took LOTS
Thank you as always for sharing ... on wings of a dove

You're just the best! I love the dove and have a friend who will love the shell wings! What do you do with your digital collages? Print them, use them as screen savers? I'm just curious. I love yours, it has such a serene quality that really speaks to me.

Hi Sue,
What a lovely digital collage! So creative as to where you pulled all the pieces from. And your new dress form.....Wow what a find! Even living over here in Europe and going to flea markets all over I have never seen anything like that! What a treasure.
Thanks for stopping by my blog for a visit. Cheers from Brussels - Cathy
