29 May 2012 – Percolator Meets Grungetastic

I am really enjoying the size of the i pad compared to the i phone. It is such a pleasure to see photos I have taken in greater detail  and to be able to edit them with Percolator and then Grungetastic which totally alters the colour palette. This would make a wonderful background paper and [...]

28 May 2012 – Tynemouth Long Sands

Sandy this is just for you! This is Tynemouth Long Sands and they are at the bottom of my street. People love to surf here and one of our National Surf Champions came from Tynemouth. I always try and come home via the seafront if I have been out in the car, and open the [...]

27 May 2012 – ShockMyPic Herb Robert

The original shot wasn’t very sharp, but editing it 3 times in the ShockMyPic app has turned a so so photo into this riot of green foliage. The little pink flower is very special to me, as it’s called Herb Robert (Geraniun Robertianum) and is the very first wild flower name that I learnt as [...]

26 May 2012 – Damp Dandelion Blues

I took Jade’s damp dandelion for a trial run through Grungetastic and this is the result. I’m not a blue sort of girl but this really speaks to me. The streaks even look like rain don’t they. I stand bowed with raindrops Bedraggled and forlorn. I smile as the sun fills the sky My life is [...]

25 May 2012 – Prisme Heart Peach Makeover

The heart I posted on the 15 May 2012 went for a spin in Photo fx Ultra and came out looking peachy! You may be wondering why I use the same image more than once in my posts, so I thought I would explain. I did a lot of print making when I was younger [...]

24 May 2012 – Grungetastic Branches

I love this shot of the branches I took in the rain last week. I edited it in Grungetastic. The texture in the background is beautiful and the pink and mauve is dreamy and ethereal. Hope you like it, let me know.

23 May 2012 – Ultra FX Flowers

What a difference a day and an app makes. I was playing with the same image of the flowers in yesterdays post and I edited it on my i pad in the Photo fx Ultra app and produced this gorgeous image. I can feel a painting coming on, can’t you?

22 May 2012 – SketchMee Meets Tiny Planets

I used the Alstroemeria and Freesia shot from a previous post and ran it through the SketchMee app and then for a whirl in the Tiny Planets app, and I created this lovely image which looks to me like an extra special rose. I just love the mix of colours and textures.

21 May 2012 – ShockMyPic Hollyhock

I was playing around with my hollyhock painting again and after altering the colours in 100 Cameras I edited it in ShockMyPic twice and this is the result. I love the center of the seed head and the textured background. Hope you do too, let me know.

20 May 2012 – Mobile Monet Dandelion

On Friday, Jade and I went for a rather damp walk in the woods, just up the coast at Holywell Dene. We took lots of photos with my i phone of the wild flowers and mossy trees. Jade took this shot of a rather damp dandelion and I edited it in Mobile Monet on the [...]

19 May 2012 – Mirrored Branches

I was out shopping the other day and it was starting to rain, but I thought the young trees were so pretty with their new foliage I snapped a quick shot up into the branches.  I edited the image in Picture Show and came up with this fun mirrored shot. I’m sure there is a [...]

18 May 2012 – Warkworth Castle

This shot was taken with the Hipstamatic app and the Salvador Dali Film which has created a mirrored image in the sky which makes me think of fairy tale castles.

17 May 2012 – Wall Fern

I took this shot last summer whilst staying at Warkworth. Gordon and I were walking along an alleyway as the sun was going down in the evening and I spotted this little fern growing  several feet high in the wall. I like the mellow colour of the bricks in the fading sunlight.

16 May 2012 – Red Filtered Bedroom Wall

This shot taken with a red filter shows the Pebeo Copper Studio Acrylic paint which I used as a wash on our bedroom wall. Here, it was illuminated by the afternoon sun and the silk flowers are a stunning contrast to the metallic quality of the wall.  I love the shadows which are created by [...]

15 May 2012 – Prisme Heart

  I was playing around with the Pebeo Fantasy Prisme paint that I was using in my workshops at the NEC in March and came up with this little heart. I was using a piece of canvas and Pebeo Cerne Relief in gold. I drew and squiggled with the outliner paint and whilst it was [...]
