This has really been a CHALLENGE (I'm shouting). First my ink cartridges ran out, then the new ones wouldn't program - they were the new and improved for my printer, yeah right! Then purchased the regular ones - had to call the help line to get everything going! Okay ready - NOW - I try to use
Peggy's techniques outlined in the challenge - I do not have a photo shop program soooooooooooooo - found out my printer won't print on transparencies - it does the adhesive backed type because it recognizes the backing paper BUT won't print on a clear transparency. I proceeded in a different direction.
Printed my base picture - one I took of sunflowers (my favorite), in black and white. Then I layed the transparency on top - painting one of the sunflowers with some acrylics but mainly gouache!!! I found a beautiful moth to apply to the black and white - covered with gel medium and brayed down the painted transparency to the black & white photo. Wah-lah! Hope it still qualifies for the challenge.
It is always good to step outside of your comfort zone! It helps us grow!
Thanks Peggy!
cheers, dana
ps of course, I am having them printed as postcards and notecards - will be available at the 2nd annual Artist by the Lake gathering - September 12, 2010!!!
