It's beautiful, but it's welcome to pass us right by!!!

Winter Continues

Alright. We've had enough already. It's only Jan. 6. We have several months of winter to go. Yuk! These pictures were taken through an upstairs bedroom window. We had 10" of snow yesterday.

Winter Beauty

It's December 1 st., and we had our first snow yesterday here in Michigan. It's time to get into a winter mood.

Digital Whisper Blog Challenge - Lights

This is the picture Kimmie gave us to use in our digital collage for this challenge:

I created the digital collage below titled "Ice Dancer" using it:

 

I used some new winter brushes by TotallyWildDezinez at DeviantScrap to create the ice cycles and winter effects with. I'm not especially fond of winter, but at times it can be beautiful.

Winter Scene - Ice Dancing

I was so surprised by what I ended up with that I wanted to post a picture showing the four photos I started with to create the background picture. The four photos are by Rob O'Shea. He's a dancer from Ireland. (I think that's where he is from.) I loved the textures he captured in them. He belongs to my good friend Marguerite Bryant's Ning group called Hearts Desire For Joy. I sure hope he doesn't mind my using them, because he is always traveling around and therefore difficult to contact.

This is the digital collage I created using them. I was able to make the building by layering and blending the different photos.
