our christmas tree




aaaah, heute habe ich mal wieder richtig mit farbe und kleber gedreckelt, ein genuss!! leider kann ich es noch nicht zeigen, dauert noch ein bisschen... deshalb nochmal bilder von unserem christbaum. der ist heuer nur mit glas-fliegenpilzen (so 80 bis 100 jahre alt, aus einem antiquitätenladen; so schön, weil wirklich jeder einmalig ist!) bestückt. dazu habe ich noch eine menge schneeflocken mit der tim holtz stanze (die mit dem schneemann) ausgekurbelt und fertig war der baum!! er gefällt mir seeeeeeeeeeeehr!! ich würde sagen, der schönste, den wir je hatten...

it´s christmas time...
diesen schriftzug hatte ich bei birgit entdeckt, die ihn wiederum von dianas seite hat, wo man ihn als freebie herunterladen kann. die schneeflockentextur, die ich über das foto gelegt habe, ist von sienna photodesigns. all denen ein herzliches dankeschön für ihre großzügigkeit!
i had seen these words at birgit´s work, and she told me she got it as a freebie from diana´s site. the snowflake texture is from sienna photodesigns. thanks to all of them for their generosity!

11th day of textures from kim
my relation to snow is ambivalent... i don´t love snow slush or when it freezes to slithery ice... but of course there is the fascination of the wonderful snowfall that dampens the noise and creates a deep silence over the landscape... this photo is from a previous year, we had not much snow so far this winter.
for showing the text better ("silent night..." on kim´s new texture rejoice) i set the "rejoice 2" on inverse... tree brushed free via layer mask.

8th day of textures from kim
i just love it when all comes together so well (serendipity, actually...) - this morning we had sunny weather and a bit snow (after some aweful windy days). having monday my day off from school, i took the camera to make a little morning walk. this weathercock was the first picture i shot... ha, perfect for today´s offer at kim´s blog...
i applied the new texture "storm" twice and stamped the matching text brush (blending mode: overlay). i felt it needed a little something on the lower right, so i stamped another brush with little opacity there. done!

7th day of textures from kim
another day, another texture from kim... thank you so much, again!
here i used "wonderfulmagic" 3 times, plus serendipity and golden (both also from kim).
the text part "Rest" (font: adorable, thanks for the tip, rosie ) is circled with a scribble brush, a freebie from kim a while ago. love this brush!
the color fits the theme "sepia" of tomorrow´s take-a-word challenge, and the three muses want to see "angels" this week.

stick to one thing...
heute mal wieder ein file folder. besprüht im sommer, bearbeitung des fotos im oktober (siehe hier), bestempelt und mit ausgedrucktem spruch versehen...
im moment komme ich ja nicht so viel zu "handgemachtem", da mir einfach die zeit fehlt (das liegt nicht an irgendwelchem vorweihnachtsstress, den habe ich nämlich nicht, dafür umso mehr last mit der schule). wenn ich es dann schaffe, mir ein paar minuten für mich selbst freizuschaufeln, reicht es zeitlich und energiemäßig nicht zu mehr als zu ein paar minuten vor dem pc. mit einer bildbearbeitung ist schnell gespielt, da reichen mir manchmal wenige minuten. aber natürlich möchte ich wieder mehr "mit dreckigen händen" gestalten, wird auch wieder, die zeit kommt... und dann hab ich einen bildervorrat angehäufelt, auf den ich zurückgreifen kann und ihn, wie z.b. hier, in journale etc einbauen kann...
a file folder - spray painted in summer, photo editing in october (here), stamped and finished with a printed quote...
at the moment i do not have very much time for "hand made" (not christmassy stress, but exhausted from school). when i have some minutes for myself, i only have the energy to sit at the pc and make some photo editing, which brings fast results in a few minutes. of course i want to create with "dirty fingers" again, and i hope time will come soon... meanwhile i will have amassed many pictures to use in my journals etc...

french kiss freebie...
oh yes, another one...;)
seems like i am a glutton for textures;)
leslie from "french kiss" also offers a freebie texture today, and i instantly fell in love with "intrepid". i took this photo of a pomegranate last week and added "intrepid" twice here (brushed off the texture partly over the fruit in the second layer via layer mask).
thank you so much, leslie, i know this one will be become one of my faves... love the grungy style and that it has a frame...
(check out leslie´s site and subscribe her newsletter, she also has interviews with fantastic photo artists from time to time)

5th day of textures from kim
again i love the little "mail art" effect of the postal stamp on the upper right of today´s new texture "zuzu", which i applied 3 times. added two number brushes and played with blending modes. thanks again, kim - for the generosity to share your textures!

moon series: snow moon
today is full moon... so time to go on with my moon series...
actually today is cold moon, but that folder page i already made a while ago... so this time i went with the name of the february full moon, the snow moon. (we also have some snow now, but very wet, not supposed to stay.)
spray painted stenciled background, photos from the internet + edited; labels from jessica sprague; snow stamp in various sizes from flamingo artstamps, germany.

tollwood
eine kleine bildergeschichte... (das tollwood findet 2x im jahr in münchen statt und die winterveranstaltung auf der theresienwiese ist mit einem weihnachtsmarkt verbunden)
some pictures from a christmas market in munich... not one of the "traditional" fairs, but quite well known over the years... it is held on the theresienwiese (which is the place of the octoberfest)

SPA: christmas fairies
relativ spontan machte ich am donnerstag noch einen besuch auf dem tollwood, wo mir diese weihnachtselfe für SPA "über den weg flog". ich fragte am elfenstand, ob ich fotografieren dürfte, und voilà...
wenn ich nicht sowieso wegen des stempeltreffs nach münchen gefahren und nicht vor etwa 2 wochen meine räucherschale kaputtgefallen wäre, hätte ich mir das tollwood diesmal geschenkt. es ist nämlich schon immer wieder das gleiche, zu 90% sag ich mal. da reicht es mir dann, wenn ich das alle paar jahre mal sehe... und tatsächlich war es dann so, dass ich dort keine räucherschale gefunden habe, obwohl ich mir gerade diesbezüglich eigentlich sicher war. ein einziger räucherstand, aber keine schale nach meinem gusto. so war unglaublicherweise der einzige kauf, den ich getätigt habe, ein langos mit rahm (ungarischer hefeteigfladen, sehr lecker).
andererseits: ich konnte wieder ein paar fotos machen. wenn man nett fragt, erlauben es die meisten. vielleicht stelle ich noch ein paar zusammen zum zeigen...

photo art friday
so what i did this week was exploring brushes. excessively. (if i like doing something, chances are good i will do it excessively;))
now i can say: i have a new obsession! so far i loved textures, now i love textures and brushes!!
for those not infected so far - stay away from this site:
http://designm.ag/resources/75-sets-of-unusual-photoshop-brushes/ because it is infectious. i have warned you;)
well, for my piece i took a background from jessica sprague, placed an edited photo of a seed on it and the rest is all: brushes!! the net, the spider, the number, the danger label... all brushes!! can you tell i´m addicted??!!
and even better: meanwhile i made some cool mailart brushes myself. but more of this in another post to come...
