Rubbish Art⤴

from

I am procrastinating today as I have a writing deadline, so messing around with TDC5116. First I downloaded a pic of Lacey cat that I had taken yesterday and printed it as a 3.5 x 5 pic. Then I got out my lightbox and drew around the outline of the image in pencil. I added whiskers, eyes and feet to make it look a bit more like rubbish art.

Ta da!

Little Miss Glitter⤴

Today’s TDC says:

You love creating art, right? You like doing with it us here in the Daily Create, right? Put it on the shelves with this frame (transparent PNG to overlay your image of CreArting DS106 style).

For my first attempt I uploaded my doodle to LunaPic and used the glitterize filter, then use PPT to put the files together. This worked fine on screen, so I used the export as function to save as gif. Again, it all looked fine but when I added it to a Masto toot it looked like a static image.

So here’s my second attempt – a static version of the image uploaded to Giphy and glitter added there.

Photogram⤴

from

Today’s TDC asks us to

Make a digital photogram without the need for special paper or chemicals.

It’s a busy day here, with work and also a wee guy painting the house, so I knew I’d need to cheat to do this one. I found some black card and sketched out an owl, cut that out and photographed it on top of some printer paper.

Then I uploaded it to Lunapic and used the negative filter to make a photogram

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream⤴

from

Today’s TDC asks

Everyone dreams, but some of us have weirder dreams than others. Think of the strangest dream you’ve ever had, and then put together an image that illustrates what happened.

I’ve been having lots of similar dreams recently about about being lost, spinning around, and not knowing which door I should go through. So I headed over to Nightcafe and gave it a prompt of:

A grass lawn surrounded by houses with brightly coloured doors. Everything is spinning in a vortex

Once I had my image I took it over to Lunapic and used their kaleidoscope filter to make this gif

Autumn Kigo⤴

from

Today’s TDC asks us to make some autumn kigo. I really wanted to get out my pencils and crayons for this one, but I am trying to compress a day’s work into a morning so that I can enjoy the Reclaim conference this afternoon, so I quickly grabbed one of my recent pics of autumn leaves and used LunaPic to add some filters to it. I then dumped these into powerpoint, screenshot the slide and uploaded it to Flickr. Then I used Alan’s flickr cc attribution helper to attribute it.

Collaborative Art⤴

from

calendar collage

One thing that continues to give me joy each year is the collaborative calendar that some of us contribute to. This year’s calendar was put together by Kevin, and it is a thing of beauty. You can download a copy and print it off if you like.

My contribution is in memory of mum, who loved ducks. I took this on the way home from her funeral.
