About I know, I know.....I just did one of these! But I decided my wall needed a 'companion', so had to do another, with different florals but yet still had to go with the first one!

However, everything used in this collage came from my photographs; water, sand, grasses, bark, twiggs, and of course, flowers!

But this one had two more layers than the first, weighing in at 31. Most time consuming, but fun.

Hope you enjoy!
Lori :)

Astounding! I just want to blend two layers and make them look good and you have 31. This is fantastic the colors and presentation are well thought out, well done.

Floral meets fine art.
Pretty cool, Lori (no need to get apologetic about good-looking art, girl).

Yeah, using your own textures is a great idea!
I have two ever-growing folders: clouds and grunge.
The clouds so I can have a substitute sky of any flavor, and a grunge layer because Usefilm artist Paul A. Stiles has moved me to work harder on my imagery:

So, in conclusion:
- beautiful work of art
- never apologize for beauty, even if you DID create it

Hi Lori!Good Sat. Night to You! You have been VERY busy I see! You have created another fantastic collage!!! This one is so alive with color!!!! I love them both and don't really have a preferance but this one is really eyepopping!On the right part of the purple mat line there seems to be a little circle that maybe You didn't notice. It's fairly minor but thought You might like to know!It's about a third of the way down the right side! It takes NOTHING away from this gorgeous artistic creation Lori!!!The flowers You chose to use are perfect for this collage! they are very pretty! Excellent work my friend! Have a wonderful evening and a blessed Sunday! my best.......................John


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/26/2005
Hi JOhn,

Thank you so much. Glad you liked this 'creation', I had fun doing it. Thanks for telling me about the little spot. I can't believe I didn't notice it, I'm always so picky. It's the exact color of the stroke line, how on earth did that happen?? I have no clue. I right away went into Photoshop to view the high res original, yep it's there! Gezzzz....I've already sent the file of to be printed to 23x30...so, I guess what I'll end up doing is get out the black sharpie. (and just hope I get it straight) LOL

Everytime I now see this image, guess 'who' I'll immediately think of??

L:)


John Loreaux   {K:85782} 6/26/2005
Lori, I'm VERY sorry if I spoiled Your night with that comment I made!Didn't mean to be picky but only wanted to point it out to you!I didn't know it was part of the image that happened to be the same color as the mat!!I thought it was the editing tool that made the line! But anyway it's still a first rate, top notch photocollage my Friend! GOD bless!!! Your Friend(I hope)LOL..............................John


Mohamed Banna   {K:34210} 6/26/2005

I am sure this will be beautiful, attractive in your wall ;-) wonderful work


Stephen Bowden   {K:64516} 6/26/2005
I love the colours and the composition here ... 31 layers !!! Wow I have difficulty trying to do just two lol

It makes a wonderful abstract and reminds me of the patchwork quilting my wife does lol

Best wishes,
Steve


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/26/2005
Hi John,

I'm actually REALLY GLAD (honestly) that you told me!!! I think you might have misunderstood....I will think about you every time I view this, IN A GOOD WAY MY FRIEND!!! :) Please know this :) :)

The dot was not planned, still can't figure how it got there, 'stroke' command just makes lines, still a puzzle to me....LOL

Have a GR8 Sunday!!!
Lori :)


Don Loseke   {K:32500} 6/26/2005
A wonderful image. I can see why you would want this on your wall. Very nice work. Hope you saved it with all the layers open. When you say flatten image and save there is no going back.. Don.


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/26/2005
Hi Don,
OH yes! And on a CD. I have learned the
hard way on this! LOL, now I save first the PS file then the jpg.

Have a GR8 day Don,
Lori ;)

Robert Kocs   {K:89061} 6/26/2005
Hi Lori! There is very beautiful vision. I like it. It is very interesting picture: flowers, grass and very sharp triangles. They're in tension, therefore this is interesting vision. Thanks for share, and congratulations for your art. Greetings! Robert


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/26/2005
Thank you so much Robert,
I appreciate your nice words.
Lori ;)

Maria Luisa Vial   {K:36017} 6/27/2005
This is a beauty Lori... Excellent collage... You managed to combine all so well... Awesome colors... Love it!!!! This an astonishing work of art... It reads Lori all over it... :)

Cheers,

Maria


Mark Julian   {K:35168} 6/27/2005
Yeah, I do like this one. I think it's balanced very well which is really important for abstracts. A very nice piece.all in all. Those almost look like floating pizza slices (I'm kind hungry - seeing food in everything -LOL) Good job, Mark PS I looked at it again. You should maybe think about turning it into a poster. I think it would sell really well (totally serious - I really like it) At least greeting cards for sure........


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/27/2005
Hi Mark,

Thank you so much for your nice comment. I am very glad you like this 'creation'!
Where does one begin to market such things, there just seem to be so much stuff out there. Look at "Art.com", there are litterly zillions of abstract posters out there, and low priced....that would be fun, but where does one start, and for how much?? I wonder......

Anyway, thanks again!!!
Lori :)


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/27/2005
Thanks Maria,
You're so sweet, I really do appreciate
your nice words.
HOpe you had a GR8 weekend!
Lori ;)


Nicole Marcisz   {K:10163} 6/27/2005
excellent composition collage. I know how it is, you definatly should have a companion to the first. It makes for a stronger presentation anyway.
cheers,
nicole


Gregory McLemore   {K:25057} 6/27/2005
