I’ve been having a lot of fun with Pinterest, saving all sorts of lovely images that inspire me. \u00a0In fact, I may be having too much fun. \u00a0Please do feel free to have a look at my Pins<\/a> if you’re into Pinterst. \u00a0Anyway, I keep bumping into works done by artists I’ve never heard of before and being introduced to new ideas to explore. Now I’ve heard of scanner photography before but, I just recently found out that one of the first to play with it was Harold Feinstein<\/a>. Worth looking up and enjoying.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we should have been outside pruning the Kiwi, but I got distracted showing Will the scanner photos I’d pinned. Which of course led me to trying it out and I soon had the dried Hydrangea blooms on the scanner. Will found a handy black box to cover them in and off we went.<\/p>\n

Then we scanned the dried Amaryllis blooms \u2026..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"amarylliswm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which led to layering them all in Photoshop….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which led to wanting to add even more… a lovely silk patchwork scarf perhaps?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And now, a first try at layering all three images…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"hydrangarillis1wm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then a second try where some of my interest in patchwork and quilting started to come into play…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"hydrangarillis2wm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And last, with some subtle changes, creating a whole new patchwork with all the images. We could have gone on but we kind of like it as it is now.<\/p>\n
