Description This is an entry for January CHALLENGE ~
Theme ~ "WINGING IT" ~ Novice Category

... Details for the challenge may be found here: [link]

These very cool wings are by = cocacolagirlie

They are the required stock I chose to use.




*I think I am still novice because I don't know how to use stock packs yet, and I'm not sure I fully accessed all that was available in the "zip" stock I used here. The stock provider said in the comments: "I put mine in the category Photoshop.PSD Files"

...which is over my head. BUT, I liked those wings! {Even if I did end up changing them a lot because I went with more of a storybook style art piece}

My art began with the left wing in the selected stock.

I may have altered it too much. As I was submitting this I read that the judges want to easily recognize the stock used. Opps.
I'll attempt that next entry.

My model is = Trinket-stock

The FLYING PIG began with a photo I took of a little pig carving. Everything else came with use of Picasa 3 picnik photo edit software. [FREE]

WAIT! Big opps.

I'm still excited, but...

It was the "offering" one that got an honorable mention.

I'm especially happy because I've had "one of those days" when I just maniped things to death and am feeling all...
