Well red


I love spotting art in unlikely places and sometimes being a messy chick can really turn out to your advantage. There I was snipping up some red card to make fancy backing for love poetry - I ran the Cupid Love Desk at work (she writes that like it's a perfectly normal work-a-day occurrence!). I had little bits of red card all over the carpet and balled them up ready to take outside to the recycling bin (we are trying to be green in this house, even with our red).

The cat found the ball and chased it round the carpet, unravelling it somewhat in the process. Was I cross? Did I see red? Nah, I saw abstract art!


Fun in PhotoShop later and we have some sizzling red hot metal for The Three Muses challenge. I just love how the images and colours blended - don't touch... they're hot!

  5. It's amazing what we can make art out of, Lisa, then with a play in Photoshop you've ended up with your very own masterpiece with the help of your cat, of course!

  8. When in doubt, blame the pool old cat - although I must admit he/she did a splendid job of re-arranging the hot red pieces. I love the way your mind is always ever so slightly out of the frame, Lisa. Gary Fodmother would agree.

  10. Isn't it great when you find art in everyday life?:) I know I am in full 'art' brain mode when I pull out my camera and completly embaress my mom by taking photos of her used tea page in a cafe:P In my defense, it was a very pretty tea bag and landed so artfully on the napkin*L*

  12. I love hearing where your inspiration comes from... amazing. (And a cupid love desk is very intriguing, indeed.)

    I really think the textures in your "fractured" girl are quite wonderful. I'm so glad you're feeling better and have had a chance to refill your creative well.
