Designing Women

As a person who dabbles in various crafts it is always a thrill to discover other like artists.

On Facebook many of my 'friends' are artists, milliners, fashion designers, and accessory designers, plus everyday folks who just like same things.  It is a fascinating world we can visit on the web now days.  They are inspiring to me to keep up and create!

One of the folks who posts messages and recommends different folks as friends, plus enjoys some of the same artist as myself; I recently discovered designs custom handbags.  Kiki lives in England and her  handbags are simply stunning!

Another dear friend who I've known for just about a year from a selling venue that we both were on:  Delight Worthyn

Millinery is Delights' passion and her creations are just lovely and full of fun! Plus she is 'green' A true artist who recycles, up-cycles and re-purposes to make her little beauties!   Now that is talent and I love Eco-friendly friends!

I can see these on some of the hats I design!  They would sure enhance a hat that I wear for sure!

The View from my Window

On various venues that artists and crafter's gather to sell their wares the competition is intense. 

Online galleries are amazing. 

The internet allows viewing of art otherwise only seen in museums or galleries. A whole new world of any genre is available for screening before you purchase.

I’m enjoying the view from my window.  Are you?

During the past week this one has been creating new art, an enjoyable process with the new Photoshop program. Although I’m still learning how Adobe Photoshop works and understanding the different filters; it is just fun to turn a photograph into something totally different. Playing around, discovering the various limits of my own photographs have been more entertaining than I realized as I struggled with the decisions of my own style.

One needs to have a good photograph to begin the process. I have tried improving upon a photo that was trash and it enables you to learn how the Photoshop program works - it doesn’t change the fact the photo is not one to keep.

Here's hoping you enjoy the view from Fishlips perspective.
