Didn't know what I was going to do when I started - it probably shows ;-) I just wanted to capture a bunch of fun and special moments from the week with the beloved grandies.
I think I started with the sunflower photos - I had a photo of Oz in front of them but that got edited out and replaced with a photo of Bowie.
All the photos of Oz were against uninteresting and cluttered backgrounds, so I made iPhone extractions of all of them. The extraction with the water bottle didn't capture the spray, so I added some clip art spray. Then I decided to make them into stickers. That was a key moment.
Who remembers ColorForms? I loved ColorForms. This is my tribute to ColorForms. Made stitckers out of everything (stroke = 10 px) and added lots of elements, just like I would do with Colorforms when I was a kid.
Although it may seem like a lot of stuff, every item has meaning (eg Bowie loves strawberries, we play outside in the sun a lot, we are learning a lot about plants, etc.
In the end I tried to maintain focal points and groupings, and one can find tons of visual triangles if you look. Taped Textures used for emphasis of focal shapes.
