The optional theme this month was to choose a "word" that you would like to focus on throughout the coming year and showcase it in a piece of photo art.
For me I find it rather hard to pick a word out because I tend to live life more on a (day to day) basis and concentrating on a particular word just seems to take some of the excitement and mystery out of what may or may not happen in this year.
At any rate I do think that the word in my piece is something that is achievable no matter who you are: (Be sure to click to Enlarge)
Amour or LOVE as I am choosing is a perfect word. I'm choosing to love more this year. Love life, Love Others, Love God, Love Photography, Love Photo Art, Love Learning New Things ...well you get the picture.
Believe it or not the (heart) is this piece is actually a potato chip. I liked it's heart shape and put it on one of our dinner plates, photographed it and then played around with textures (Bonnie's Heartache by the Numbers) and some cool effects from Pic Monkey completed the look.
Thank you for stopping by.
and I "love" this. My fave colors and I think I see one of Bonnie's textures that I really like. Just a beautiful composition!
ReplyDeleteyou achieved a gorgeous photo and you picked a perfect word. You can't go wrong with a year full of love.
ReplyDeleteHow creative and lovely! Wishing you and yours a nice weekend, Ida.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a good eye and some great artistry to make such a beautiful image from a potato chip!! Love how you used the texture to highlight the 'amour' in the middle of your 'heart'. Delightful piece.
ReplyDeleteA pretty cool use of a potato chip!
ReplyDeleteYour photo is very interesting. I wouldn't have guessed the heart was a potato chip! Love all the colors and textures.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fine post.
ReplyDeleteLove is an impotant word and impotant to feel and impotant to recieve.
All the best for 2014.

ReplyDeleteWow, Ida! What you have accomplished with a potato chip, a texture and some digital fiddling is very cool.
