My digital side and my messy finger side

Last week I received the Spring 2010 issue of Stampington’s Somerset Digital Studio in which I have four digital pieces.  Here’s the last page of the article because these are my favorites and were a lot of fun to digitally paint.  I used ArtRage 2.5 for most of the work and then tweaked, poked and prodded them a bit in Photoshop Elements 6.

The other, bookmaking, side of me made a small book with my chair images.

And, not being able to stop there I made an envelope for this book and for the Tut small book made earlier this month.  The envelopes were made out of tyvek which was painted with acrylics on both sides, assembled and then stamped to fit the themes of the books.  The tyvek takes the paint wonderfully, no warping at all.  It makes a very strong, supple container.  

The images are the fronts and backs of the envelopes (I also decorated inside of them).
