Altered Flower Photos

Hi Everyone,

Here are some of my flower photos that I altered with MS "Picture-It" - a really neat program that used to come with MS Office back in 2002 or 2003. I wish they would make a new version because it is really easy to use. This flower image was altered slightly to have a grainy appearance.

I like this shy flower photo. It was altered with shadows and it has a calm look to it.

This is a hibiscus photo that was taken at Swarthmore College. The image was changed to have a graphic design appearance.

This is a photo that was changed to have a grainy poster appearance - almost "pen and inkish."

This flower photo also has some alterations for a shadowy contrast.

I love these tiny pale pink flowers all bunched together. I took this photo and adjusted the image to appear like a graphic design with highlighted shadows.

The same was done with this photo. I like the "cartoony" look with the shadows and contrast.

These are orchids from Longwood Gardens in PA. I altered the image and the colors came out very nice.

Please stop by again. Thank you!

Be A Green Girl With A Market Bag

Market bags are becoming very popular and many grocery stores are getting rid of the plastic bags. So, no more hearing "paper or plastic?" at the grocery checkout!

This market bag is sewn with my stash of cottage style and upolstery fabrics. It's also lined with a vintage table cloth, believe it or not, making it very durable, with a box bottom to hold more items!


It's perfect for the market, especially if you are buying a French baguette, which usually gets squished in a regular plastic grocery bag. You could also use this bag for your visits to the library, or for shopping in Paris - of course! Bonjour Madame!

The following photos show the vintage tablecloth lining and you can see the box bottom in the first photo. The color palate is very Tuscany or Provence!



Get yourself a market bag - it shows the world that you care about recycling fabrics and reducing plastic production.

Plus, you will look tres chic as the "green girl" at the market!

Au revoir madame!
