Deliberate Designs

Carnations

I have been slowly learning new techniques and having new ideas introduced to me. Sometimes, you use these techniques and sometimes they have to sit and mature over time until either you have a great idea or something you have been doing triggers a memory.

I started scanning objects at the beginning of April, seeing what works and what doesn’t. Whether movement of an object on a scanner works or not. And then what do I do with these scans, sit on a hard drive well so far yes, that is what is happening but I do want to either produce prints or possibly a small collection in a book. And then, why not play, that is the name of the game at the end of the day!! So I have started pulling some of these scanned images into Photoshop to see what I could create.

I have a long way to go partly because I did more scanning than I have time to edit. Some of these images take a great amount of time to clean up and edit. I tend to do the clean up part finish and then come back to the image a while later to decide what techniques I wish to use.
