Lost

This is the next page in a cutout series I am working on.

Journaling: You can be lost even when you know where you are.

process...
I extracted the image of my grandmother (she was standing in front of a hedge) and placed her on a new layer. My first background was a garden scene but that wasn't working...she doesn't look very happy...so I moved to something darker. The background is a solid from APP Potiere that's been darkened. Originally, I only worked with the main image so I could position the buildings which are a combination of image and brushes from the new ArchiTexture brushes. After I got the background scene in place, I added two more images of my grandmother. I wanted those images to be more a part of the background, so I eliminated the color (which was coming from the background) from the image on the left and cutout the image on the right. After I cut out the image on the right, I changed the background in that small area to black and white. Transfers from the new APP and the new fotoglows were added to bump up the colors in some areas and darken them in others. I did a little bit of masking on the main image to give it some dimension. The brushes were added in white. I added the title and journaling and it was done (a couple of days later).

Thanks for looking :)
It is nice to know that it takes you a couple of days to create these marvels of art. This is a very poignant, beautiful layout and I love the journaling. Who hasn't felt that way at one time or another, and making her a cutout brings that home. You are a marvel Adryane.
 
The combination of the shadowing and the floating is surreal, enhanced of course by the yellow clouds. Wowzers!
 
Well exactly lost, I don't see your page! LOL But I saw it before, so creative and unique!

I know this feeling: 'You can be lost even when you know where you are.'
