so.... pick up from yesterday's blog ... found selection of chosen images really interesting - 2 ideas happening. 1, landscape and colour converted to stripes (mentioned in earlier blog) and 2, just working digital. think to make decision to just spend time on this area would be good........... also found 48hr offer of 30''x20'' prints for £4.99 and allowed to order 5 by midnight tomorrow ... think will go for it :)

just ordered prints ... under £11 for 5 posters with postage. (wow-should have been £18each +pp) .... a bit manic getting order in but worth it.
it's been quite a struggle for me to get image size/resolution right for posters ... i don't know why it takes me so long...it seems very hit and miss....really frustrating but got there in the end.
-used programmes picassa, lunapic, gimp, psykopaint
-stayed with the ideas of 'layers' and 'looking into'
for the first 4, i started with earth postcard image and pixellated or made into kaleidoscope image. .. i really enjoyed making these but took ages at first as colours for extra colours/stripes were dropped in a few pixels at a time ... but i did get quicker after awhile..... this seems to happen if initial image pixellated. i suppose i could have worked using layers, but i would need to read up how to.
.... kaleisoscope imagery seems quite popular at moment but i've always liked kaleidoscopes since i was young and bought them for my children. ... i like the metaphor for multifaceted worlds/parallel worlds/quantum physics stuff etc. ... might be a bit naff but i've enjoyed myself. ... small sections could make interesting paintings!! stripes are appearing before i've even started to read new sean scully book.
images 4, 5, 6, are from art i've made since start of course but with added filters.. i would have spent more time working on them if there had not been a deadline for the offer..... looking forward to getting them through post in a few days......must go to bed its 1.30am
