My daughter, Caroline, asked me recently to make her a new bookmark.
She knows I like to play about in Adobe Photoshop and so I was happy to oblige. This is what I came up with. It didn't take me very long. I made two, one for each of my girls. I think they like them.
I love silhouettes and I found this particular one of a girl blowing bubbles on a fascinating creative blog called Scherenschnitte. It's all about the intricate art of papercutting. I don't think I have a steady enough hand to be any good at this craft but I do like to see Cindy Ferguson's (owner of Scherenschnitte) creations. Not only is Cindy very talented but very generous too, this silhouette is a free download on her blog and is really a template for papercutters.
So, two simple pleasures this week - playing around in Photoshop and browsing through Scherenschnitte.
As usual I'm joining Dayle over at A Collection of This and That.

I am so deficient at photoshop and really want to get better because I think it would be so fun to play.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of that paper cutting thingie with the long name. I think the stuff is awesome.
I need the simple pleasure of some creativity. I think it might cure what ails me lately.
I haven't gotten photoshop yet, but I would enjoy it also...Oh I use to do Scherenschnitte years ago...still have books on how...so both simple pleasures are great
ReplyDeleteI love the bookmark. I'm still trying to figure out my way around in photoshop!

The book mark is beautiful...I never thought of using photoshop for anything but photos! how creative. I tried Scherenschnitte a few times...I just don't have the patience, but the site was sure fun to look at!
