C is for Contours

Having just joined this group I am a little late with this entry but as it is the idea which came to mind and inspired me to join I have decided to post these two images which I have produced in picnik.

C is for Conversation

I am cheating a bit as I am posting a photo of a piece I made in 2003 but I wanted to share the inspiration for this piece which fits in so nicely with the C challenge for this month.
In 2003 I made a long train journey, I love to travel by train, but my way back from the visit to my daughter was not exactly what I had expected. I was seated in an open carriage together with around 40 other passengers when not yet out of the station a woman took out her mobile phone and started a conversation which lasted more than 2 hours and was conducted in a very loud voice. Nobody in the whole carriage was in any doubt about her opinions! As sleeping was not on option (I was rather tired) and after spending the first half hour being really annoyed I decided to make the most of it and started jotting down what I thought the woman on the other end of the conversation would be saying (when she happened to get a chance to have some in-put or tried to answer a question which the woman on the train invariably answer herself). In fact the journey seemed quite short in end as my brain had entered into the whole design idea. I used yellow and purple fabrics to achieve high contrast and the quilting consists of my version of the "other side" of the conversation. The wall hanging is now situated on the wall where the stairs lead up to our attic guest bedroom. It has led to several more conversations in the time it has been hanging there and I have great fun watching guest trying to be contortionists when they realise there is text on the hanging and they want to find out what it is all about!

C is for Criccieth Castle 2!

OK, Sandy, here it is....  Take the original image

Invert the colours, copy, paste and flip appropriately.  Then rotate by 90deg.

 Same image, but colours re-inverted.

You can just make out the castle etc, but I don't think that any further manipulation is required.

C is for Color

I finally bought some watercolors and got the courage to get wet! Started out with some flowers, and that was a total flop. DH said I should sketch a little on the paper, and then use the color. But then, I don't really know how to draw. So I attempted some landscapes, looking into my mind's eye. Funny thing about a landscape... you can leave it the way you drew it, or you can flip it upside down, and get another view.

At the end of the day, I decided to just fool around with colors, something I love to do. After finishing, I scanned the picture and played around with my photo editing software.

C is for Criccieth Castle!

Letter - C

The prompt for the rest of March is for things having to do with the Letter C.

You can post artwork of any medium, current or something you did in the past. You also can post initial ideas you play with that may be a basis for something you do in the future.

C is for Cyclamen

I love the way they start with a point and then all the petals turn back. I may try to do something related to that, but don't hold your breath!
