More polyvore collages

Here are some more collages I made at polyvore.  Only one of them has an outfit in it.  You should bring up each set page so you can better see the layers of the collages, and what went into them.  There are a lot of subtle details.

A New Way To Play

Here is a set I made on polyvore.  (A site where you can play with fashion and make your own outfits from items you can actually purchase online, if you can afford them.  Each set you make lists the items you used for others to see, and purchase if they want to.  Er, you can purchase *most* of the items in the sets, some of them you cannot.)  I am particularily proud of it.  I made it for the steampunk group.  I’d actually wear some of those outfits, if they would fit me properly and look good, and…I could afford them.  *sigh*  (Some of them would look really nice on me!)  Here is a wikipedia article about steampunk, and below the set you will find the group administrator’s parameters for the steampunk group.  (Did you know that calling cards are coming back into fashion, because of those who prefer to express themselves via Steampunk?  It is true.  Wish a recycling company of either cloth or paper would pounce on this…)

Can take you places...

Mysterious Glow

This is a lantern I got for Christmas from the Mr.  I think it is quite beautiful, lit or unlit. D kindly held the lantern up so I could photograph it glowing in the sun.

Friendly Glow

Isn’t it interesting, how we seem to bring Nature inside our homes, without even fully realizing it?  These leaves have the same glow paper lanterns bring into a home, except the leaves only glowed this way for a time.

New Header

Here are the two headers I made for this winter Holiday season.  They are digital collages, made using font and clip art in Microsoft Picture It! 2ooo, using Irfanview to resize them.  I hope you all are staying safe when venturing out, and warm!

Year of the Oak (to date)

Here is another study I did, of the view up a one hundred (at least) year old oak tree over the seasons.  I missed the month of July this time around, but I will make certain I have pictures next July so I have a full year with each month represented.  Edit: I didn’t miss July, putting the picture I got in now!  ETA: Here is my newest entry with my latest photos in this series.

New Blog Header!

This is the header I’m using for Fall/Thanksgiving 2008, for the Cutline theme.  I used a photo I took out at Elk City Reservoir, and some clip art graphics to make a digital collage using paint to make the initial green template, and Microsoft Picture It! 2000 to add and place things, including the text.

A View Through the Seasons

Here are some pictures I’ve taken standing in about the same place on the intermediate hiking trail at the Elk City Reservoir.  I think it is interesting to see how different the view is as the seasons change, don’t you?
