Since I am not driving and homebound, I decided to do some collage? It seems hard to find time to do it as often as before. I've often been asked how I find my papers? It's true I do use junk mail, but it doesn't seem as good? I had a slick magazine, Queue, from my last flight on Jet Suite, no ads but lots of color! I did surgery on it! I tore sheets of pages that had text or color that I thought would be fun to use. It has to be fun or it shows. So here's the results of my tearing...


And from it I did a tiny quickie collage in my tiny quickie book ...



Then I made a quick card for a friend ...


And, I had meant to do a step-by-step, so did this one quick ...

My Photoshop is acting up a bit, but I tried to work around it. You might notice, I cropped it, and collaged over some weaker areas. It's not great, but scraps & glue stick makes for an easy time. Remembering to photograph each step, not so much.
 I named it Quandary.






Well Mitzi let me know I am losing it! She said "The juried Art Show flyer was in September.....but, this is October 7th. I thought the cataract surgery was going to improve your eyesight. LOL Have a super day and keep up the good work!!

I guess I still need glasses? or a brain charge! ;o)




as it was...
Just in case you are in the OC area, I am attaching a flyer I got on FB. I do know some of the artists and I think it will be a good one.

Love the blue and back collage.

You have to use the subscription version of Photoshop, right? They're not able to troubleshoot to help you? Do you need me to check things out?

Thanks so much Brandon, I think I need to reinstall PS so I can get it back to default, as I did something that changed it, so that I don't have my layers set-up. Knowing me, I am unsure how to re-install?
