Process notes for my layout Santa Maria Maggiore https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=317942&title=anna-ladder-day-7santa-maria-maggiore&cat=1351 I have returned from vacation and found stuff from the Anna Ladder challenge floating around my hard drive that I hope...

I so admire people who can do a LO in a short time - all your bits fit together so well, too. Thanks for the tips about the extraction.

This was one of the easiest extractions I've ever done - for my LO "Origamido Butterfly" https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=317976&title=aa-ladder-day-2origamido-butterfly&cat=1351. The technique stands a good chance of working any time you're photographing...

I am a sucker for real textured paper. I liked this BG so much, I used it in two LO's, for aA Ladder Days 1 and 2. The poem is "The Butterfly" by Louise Glck. Look, a butterfly. Did you make a wish? You don't wish on butterflies. You do so. Did you make one? Yes. It doesn't...

Quotation by Rabindranath Tagore: The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. The model is Michael LaFosse's Origamido Butterfly folded from Tant paper. Process Notes: I photographed the butterfly on a piece of white paper and blended it onto the Anna BG (technique...

Process Notes - more here https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=320762&title=santa-maria-maggiore-process - : I concealed the original photo with an all-black "conceal all" layer mask and used white watercolor-style brushes on the mask to reveal the parts of the...

I also like the way the colors are coordinated on your page - and all the little details. And thanks for explaining your process.

I like your palette and really like the way the netting-like patterns go over the image without overpowering it.

I ran across the phrase, "I'm trying to channel (someone)" while perusing the gallery today. What does that mean?

I especially like the strong contrast between the foreground and background. For something titled "wildflower," it has a lot of energy!

I agree with the others - love the creative use of the ribbon.

What they said - the lines kept my eyes dancing through your composition.

Love the watercolor pencil feel of your LO!

I love the way you softened the photograph - especially the blending around the photo's edges.

Very dramatic and very impressive - I find it technically challenging to recolor stuff that's black or white. Thanks for the inspiration.

The rainbow colors are an intriguing touch for a fall image. Thanks so much for the process notes - I really want to try.

The poem is "The Song of the Jellicles" by T.S. Eliot, which was part of the inspiration for the musical Cats. Full text of the poem: http://worlds-poetry.com/t.s._eliot/the_song_of_the_jellicles Process Notes: I let the template do most of the work for me. I used free or...

Really creative - the butterfly feels as if it should be in a kite festival.

Really gorgeous application of Adryane's tutorial. Your LO makes me realize I need to play with her technique some more.
