August Break 2011 – Day 31

Well, I did it. I made it through another August of participating in Susannah Conway’s August Break. Instead of just posting a photo a day, I decided to challenge myself by trying some new post-production techniques using online technology. Sometimes I wrote words, sometimes I did not. But I posted pretty much every day – except when we were on our mini-vacation… but then there was that bonus post I did about Rollip, so it all balances out I guess. I will do a proper “review” tomorrow, but as a thank you to all of you who have visited here or who have commented on Flickr this month, I thought I’d leave you with one last painted words on bodies effort. Or maybe two. 😉 It’s also a little reminder for myself of what I want to focus on more in the fall.

Colours desaturated in Picnik, ortonish effect applied. Framed with “smoke” in Pixlromatic, then general transparency applied.

And because I can’t do much of anything these days without being interrupted… and instead of getting frustrated like I tend to do, choosing to appreciate the attention… here is this.

Edited in Pixlromatic using the sara and round effects.

Thanks again for all of your kind words!!! I sincerely hope you have a great fall and that I’ll be seeing you around… somewhere. =)
