Remember Photoshop Spheres?

About 8 months ago I showed y'all some of the spheres I had made with Photoshop using my photos.

Well tonight I took a collage of some of my scrapbook layouts and made a sphere - with a bit of a reflection too. I love it. So much fun. Got the idea off of Digital Designer

Also made a quick digital page using some photos from our trip to S Carolina last fall.


I needed a break from wedding layouts!
It was wonderful!

In other news I have been asked to take a new position with SHR - A two year full time position in a new SHR project with Long Term Care clients in acute care beds. I am very excited with this new challenge...but it does mean I will be very busy. I am looking forward to more work with families and less list management stuff. Starts Sept.

And another family has booked me for a photo shoot in September. YIKES - that's four shoots in September. PRESSURE!!
Umm... expect less blogging. Srapbooking will likely slow down but with the new grand baby due any day that could be to hard to resist. :) Waiting for the phone call. Camera is ready!

Now I need to go to bed... feeling a bit of flu coming on which I cannot afford to have right now. I need to work tomorrow and get some shopping done after work for a guest this weekend. David has been out at dinner meetings all week and I have been content to have a bowl of cereal for supper. The cupboards are bare. LOL

Blessings to you all!

Spheres

Just taking a brief moment here to wish number three son a very happy birthday!!
Not that he visits my blog, but perhaps his wife might and can pass on my greetings.

Or maybe I should just pick up the phone?

Or better yet, send him an Amazon gift certificate?
Now you're talking!!


On to SPHERES

Another day wasted in Photoshop.

I have learned three new techniques in Photoshop in the past two days.

Okay I didn't spend the whole day on the computer today. My day stated at 8am this morning when I spent an hour with a very nice Physiotherapist who gently messaged my wrist for $70 and told me a few stretches I needed to get some mobility back into it. It seems I have spent too much time...ahem...on the computer!

My computer set up at home is great - no problems, but my set up at work where I am on the mouse for 8 hrs straight is less then optimum and so... I had to see a P.T. today.

And oh how nice to be able to start my car WHILE I am forking out the $70 because next on the list was to pick up child number four and drop her off at University because it is darn cold to be waiting for a bus. Still a Mom first and foremost.

And then I was off to the gym to further abuse my now limber wrist with a core class, push ups and a step class. That was two hrs of.... abuse. But I feel great - yeah, I keep telling myself that... I feel great!

So why did I crash this afternoon around four o'clock and end up with my keyboard imprinted on my forehead??? Could it be I overdid the cardio in an effort to work off 26 Pot of Gold chocolates over the past three weeks?????

Why is it I never do anything in moderation?

So somewhere in this glorious day off work from either job, I spent time perfecting "SPHERES" and so now I will share them with you.

His teeth take on a whole new dimension in this sphere!!

And doesn't he just look like my right arm and camera might make a tasty meal...and then my right leg..and then....

Ah yes, I do remember this moment very well and am game to head back there at a moments notice to do it all over again!

But since I can't...

Another sphere.

Hawaii...take me away....

Are you sick of pictures of my husband kissing me?
I promise, this is the last one.

This one was taken on Vancouver Island. Sunrise. Romantic getaway. Best B&B in B.C. that I know of. E-mail me if you need a romantic get away and want to stay in Canada.
Amore By the Sea.

Unlike the alligator, this fellow was behind plexiglass.

Okay -no more spheres.

next up....
converting photographic images to a watercolor painting.

Oh sooo beautiful.

Bubble portraits or Spheres

The web is such a wealth of knowledge.

Okay it can be a time waster too, but I figure if I am on the web learning a new technique in Photoshop while I wait for the spin cycle on the washing machine to finish it's work, I am redeeming the time.

I am not watching Oprah, or anything on TV for that matter...

...so I have indulged and I am having more fun educating myself (again). If only I could make money at this. Send me your photos and I will do funky things with them for a fee!! :)

This time I am making spheres rather than planets.

I took this photo at Ft Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina.

I think this is very cool and just wait because when I find the right portrait of dear husband in my stash of thousands of photos, I am going to have some real fun...stay tuned.
