Portal...updated.




Doors aplenty. This one particularly caught my eye.


Playing with Ink Effects on iPhoto app gave me an idea for a quick business card to give out to my new friends from class.  Technology otherwise failed me that day; my technology karma has been bad bad on this trip. I have gotten so spoiled. I try to put things into perspective. See me smile.

Playing with apps

Yesterday, I learned some ways to use my camera to capture moments, senses. I took dozens of photos using various combinations of settings for intriguing images. This was my favorite. I used the previously undiscovered black-white-color option with a color filter...
Actually, a dark gray depressing  stairway.

But then, today, we were once again reminded: there's an app for that.

Very film noir

Instead of travel books....




I cut, paste, sketch and collage in journals I prepare ahead of time. I leave for Italy, Prague, Budapest, and Paris this week with these (and more I am still creating) in tow.

If you would like a few digital postcards from places I sketch, paint, or collage while traveling, email 1redchair@gmail.com. Please make the subject "digital postcard."

Planning My Journals

As I prepare for a trip to Europe coming up soon, I am busy thinking about the journals I will make and take. Lots of decisions to make. I will probably vary what I do for each of the regions I visit, but everything will be in loose pages or signatures. I do not do full books well and i hate carrying them around.

For Italy, I will work "backwards" a little. For sketching and painting, I usually take a photo or use a book and make my drawing from that. I think this time I will first make a sketch or painting from a photo in my travel books. Since on previous travels I've been to several of the hill towns we will be visiting, I want to give myself a little scavenger hunt project. I'll look for the places or items I've drawn, and take a photo as my "evidence." I look forward to the hunt. I think some of my traveling partners will help me look.

work in progress....





I'll make a few loose pages for each, leaving lots of room for doodads and ephemera and teeny little sketches. I like pasting in quotes and tips from travelers. After returning, I'll add the doodads, transfer images, stamp, and have a merry old time. This is a good way that I extend the trip on both ends.

Oh, I will have fun.
