Bonjour Bunny
Friday, February 25, 2011
Last week I took a wonderful class on layering with Kim Klassen.
I just couldn't wait to create my own backgrounds,
and so I did...
Then I layered some Bonjour artwork.
I was creating new layer backgrounds and thinking about this process.
I was working on something for my lovely friend, Amisha's party
Being Creative Blog Party...
all about being creative on a Sunday at Gorgeous and Fun Things.
Daydreaming about Pink Saturday,
while listening to the soundtrack from the story of Beatrix Potter.
Layering...an interesting concept.
Something we all do as we go on our way through life.
Layering each new skill, experience and creativity layer by layer.
Until one day we don't know how it happened...but we know how to do lots of things and we fly from one thing to another.
Suddenly our skills have multiplied and we want to layer them all together to play our new song.
That's it,
that's why I adore digital painting.
It allows me to write a new song with the things that I am learning
and use my artwork from chapters gone by...
layering them together into one brand new design allowing me to dance to my new music.
Today is Pink Saturday and if you stop by Bev's place over at How Sweet The Sound, you will find many Pink inspirations to layer into your life.
Please come back on Sunday, I have something special to share for my friend Amisha's Being Creative Blog Party.
The song for this post is music from the soundtrack of Miss Potter.
P.S. My Pink Saturday mention is my friend Amisha of Gorgeous and Fun. I just adore her work and I have the pleasure of not only participating in Pink Saturday with her, but we have art get-togethers and occasionally attend the same classes.
Wishing a lovely Pink Saturday friend, Celeste of Celestina Marie Designs.
a Happy Birthday.
If any of the artwork on this post speaks to your heart, please take it home.
How fun and beautiful-Thanks
This looks like so much fun. I am still trying to figure it all out. It doesn't come easy for me at all. In fact, I need a layering for dummies class!!! I don't seem to know where to start.....
You give me hope becuase your work is beautiful and makes me want to do the same. I love it, you have talent for putting it all together my friend, Char
Oh Karen how lovely! What beautiful and original masterpieces!! Beautiful!

This all makes me want to watch Miss Potter this afternoon and it'd be a perfect afternoon for it with the snow and all.

The work you posted this week is awesome. Please keep in touch and continue to spur me on and challenge me NOT to give up. At 72 I am moving slowly.

Hi Karen,
I promise you a much longer email but I wanted to stop by and thank you so much! Thank you for taking part and thank you for the mention - you are awesome.
I have had a long and busy work day and I need a break from the computer - so more later!
Happy Pink Saturday Karen Sweetie...
What a beautiful share. I love your layering effects. The bunnies are so precious and I love the bird with the twigs. I love your work, as it allows me to dream. Love the pots of flowers as well.
Happy Birthday Celeste sweet friend. Hope you have many, many more to come. I love seeing the card that Karen created. It is SO you. Pink and all.
Thank you again Karen for the beautiful share. May you have a gorgeous weekend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
What wonderful images you've created Karen! I love the layering, and I love the way you related it to life. laurie
Dearest, I saw this generous post yesterday from my desk at school, but of course was unable to comment. I love your ways. Your words are carefully chosen, your photos, phenomenal. You always mention that we are free to take a photo...I will. I so love the one of the birds with the bokeh heart background. Thank you precious, and I will link back to you as I use this wonderful piece of art....happy PINK SATURDAY! LOVE YOUR RABBITS!!! Anita
Good morning Karen,
I love Beatrix Potter and the soundtrack! And I love what you've done here! The layering is so pretty and creative!
I was wondering if I may use the teacup photo for one of my tea parties one of these days? I also would love to post a photo or two of your work on my sidebar; linking back to you, of course!
I wanted to thank you for your prayers for my little granddaughter. It means so much to me! Thank you for your visit and Happy Pink Saturday.
Blessings,
Sandi
Digital layering is such an awesome invention. I don't have the software that would let me do that, but it sure looks like fun! Of course, YOU make it amazing because you have add your artistic talent to the digital images.
Hope all is well with you......your bunny is still one of my favorites!
Happy Pink Saturday! L, Dana
I have got to learn how to do this!! Yours is just beautiful. Happy Pink Saturday! Dru

I just had to come back in and have another look Karen. Your backgrounds are just so captivating. I love them, Char
I'm just in awe of the things you create - I know nothing about digital painting and you really inspire me to learn.
Happy Pink Saturday! :O)
Hi Karen,
I wanted to take some of Kim's classes but so far they are all video driven instead of screen shots. Sadly, my 3G connection will not play most video smoothly.
So I continue to play with my photography.
I love what you've learned..just lovely {as always} ♥
Happy Pink!
Have a wonderful week...
Hugs,
Stephanie ♥
