I AM ADDICTED!

I am, admitedly, a bonafide addict!  Nope, it isn't alcohol or cigarettes, sheesha or drugs (thank goodness!), that is the culprit......it is Photoshop!

After being introduced to it at Ayesha's two day seminar earlier this year, then getting together every week with other Photoshop addicts (you know who you are), I'm beginning to get the hang of it!

At first my projects were simply aimed at getting familiar with working with layers.  I'll not bore you with posting any of those!

Now I've finally progressed to "copying" some artwork that I've seen hanging at Gallery One, my all time favorite store in Dubai!  When I saw their sand and texture pictures I thought to myself, "I should be able to do that!"  And I did!  Though I can't exactly take credit for the design (darn it!), the photos are mine.  And I put them all together in Photoshop!   WOOHOO!  Baby steps people, baby steps!

Next on my Photoshop wish list of things I want to be able to do.....I want to create a photo montage that resembles a piece of art (just like Ayesha does!).  Ayesha is an artist and when I grow up I want to be just like her!!!!

I may be making slow as a snail progress on Photoshop.... 
but progress is progress!

  I AM SOOOOOOO ADDICTED!

PHOTO MONTAGES!!

I am sooooo excited!  Remember this:

Remember when I showed you Ayesha (second from right) and her artwork?  Artwork that I LOVE!  Well several of us got together with her for two straight days of learning to utilize layers in Photoshop.  I finally got it!

I've been practicing.  My projects are not exactly "art", however, they were great practice exercises!  I understand how to work with layers now and am getting lots of practice using the different tools.

Here are a couple of my projects!  Nope, not quite "art", but hopefully I'll start to get there!

I know!  I know!  I have a LONG way to go, but it is really fun!  And, as you know, practice makes perfect!!
