For this one, a small image, I selected the sand inside the frame and blurred it with surface blur to avoid unwanted lines and curves in the image. It also gave me a pretty frame as the outer part is not blurred. ;)

Then I inverted the selected area and used the Poster Edges filter to create the sketch on the birds and the pole.

I had the idea of making this fungi into a skirt and maybe a top. It did not turn out as I initially figured it. From the start I thought of a fairytale story in the woods but I had no images suitable for that. I never use images of others but this is an exception as I found this woman on PIXABAY. The only one that had no sexual overtones in it and was plain and simple.

The skirt was rather easy. I used smudge tool to form the waistline and then copied a part of the bottom to create the waistband.

To form the hat I had to use the warp in order to deform the fungi to suit her head and the angle of her head. The color of the fungi was not right so I had to ad some orange color tone and a stronger tone for the sunny side of the skirt and hat. And when I was done, I realized that the hand was behind the skirt and it should be in front of it, so I had to fix that too.

It was quite fun and I learned few new trixs.

The Shell

   CS5, WACOM

This is a flat shell I had for many years. Picked it up on a shore in New Zealand. I took a shot and actually calculated the form to get used to the WACOM. Then I added the different, colored curves and a layer with the shell coloring.

I am a bit frustrated as most pencils tend to be thinner then it looks on the screen. Maybe my image is too large. Have to try a smaller size. I obviously can´t paint sand so I kept that visible in the image. Just added a texture on it.

I added a duplicate layer treated with filter "chalk and charcoal" and then used blending "Difference".
Not sure which is my favorite. Both I think.

Japan was great to visit even if the weather was a bit upside down. This particular morning was very beautiful. We was waiting for the sun to rise and the cranes to soar the morning sky.

I was going out on my balcony to check out some birds when I noticed this butterfly shaped frost.  So, forget the birds, they flew away anyway.
This kind of frost is very hard to photograph. I had to put something dark behind it to even get an image I could play with. This kind of image mostly goes into the bin. But I had something in mind. The two following images is just tests to see what can be done to this "butterfly".

At first I had to get rid of the "background". To free the shape.  Then I copied the two halves separately and made two different butterflies. One from each half. Then just played around with filters and blending modes to see what works. Will probably do other things with them  later on.

NOTE!
Tomorrow I´ll go to my daughter and Friday I am going to Japan for two weeks. My daughter lives half way to the airport so I take the opportunity to visit.
I am leaving today´s linky open until I get back and will close it then. So, you know that when the linky is closed I am back home. And during my absence you can linkup new posts whenever you wish.

Have fun for a while without me. When I´m back I hope I will have some cool stuff from Japan to share.  There will be no blooming cherry trees for sure. Wrong time of year.
