I've been having some fun working in photoshop with the wonderful photos from my day at Dort's home and property. I loved the look of this old log wall....
which transferred into a really good line drawing. I've already been to an office supply place to make a lazer copy of this, which I need to make a silkscreen....That's on tomorrows "to-do" list.
And I also loved this logwall...also made into a drawing....don't know if it will make it into a screen.
All the greenery comes across as "noise" in the drawing and the initial image is not as clear as I would like.
Another fun thing that Kate, Cathy and I came across was an old fridge........got Kate to sit on top and pose for a picture......Notice how Kate's pants and shoes match the greenery....Exactly!
Okay...so this was my favorite thing to photograph....I love circles (and rust) and of course this tire did the trick for me....
And transferred so well into a line drawing...which has already been lazer copied to be made into a silkscreen. I think it will be a great image when screened on fabric.
There were some wonderful old tools standing upright.....
perfect for a possible silkscreen.....
And my other favorite....a tractor....hidden in the grass. Last time I was at Dorts, I took tons of pictures of this tractor in full view....but Mother Nature has taken over and all you can see is just the front peeking out. I love the drawing of this but way too busy to be made into a silkscreen. The original full view is great though and will make into a good line drawing.
I'll share that soon...When you see this tractor from head on...it has a face...and I think you'll agree when you see the photos....Tomorrow, hubby and I are heading for the Biltmore Estate to see the Tiffany Exhibit as well as the annual quilt exhibit organized by our own Connie Brown...so it should be a fun day. On another note...woke up this morning to a mere 51 degrees....yes....I was elated.....I LOVE FALL!!!
