Mixed Media Monday chose stars this week. I attempted to illustrate the phrase from "Fly Me to the Moon". My dancers are from Flickr Collage images, background Jofia Devoe, city scape from I don't remember where. Thanks for looking!
Love your little starry dancers! Thanks for your lovely comments on my latest Crowabout collage. You asked how I got the images so clear - well I went back to where Nancy gets lots of her pictures from and found the original of the background here. I downloaded the medium size one and resized it in Paint Shop Pro using Smart Size. For the other stuff I used 'Sharpen' and/or 'Clarify' in PSP until I got the results I wanted. If you use Photoshop I should imagine there are similar tools. It's always worth looking at the Collage Images site to see if any elements are there in higher resolution although I must admit this is the first time I thought to give it a go! Ali xx
This is a delight!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my all time favourite songs! This is delicious, Bev. I love the colour and the whimsicality of it all. Great artwork.

ReplyDeleteI thought this might be "swinging' on a star". Wasn't there a song with that in the lyrics? This is really cool, Bev. Colorful and gorgeous.

ReplyDeletePeggy said it, a true delight! I love the whimsy and little story it tells. It's lovely and magical! I can almost hear the night shimmering!
ReplyDeleteI love your starry, starry night! The idea of dancers twirling in the night sky to the sound of twinkling stars is enchanting.
