When my son was home a couple of weeks ago, he showed me how to make a collage on Paint, so I made a couple of tries. I'm not sure I can remember how to do it, but maybe I'll try to improve this week-end. (These are all portions of gravestones in the cemetery where I often walk.)
About Me
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

This is great! You will have to teach us!
Wow, I really love this image. Nicely put together. Love the shapes. I am drawn to grave-art. The image top right makes a great sun or mandela.
This is soooo beautiful!! I put it up on the background of my computer so the rest of the family can enjoy it.
love, Kas
this is so utterly beautiful. i love old graveyards, am in fact quite nuts about them. for many reasons. imagining the lives of the people whose headstones i read, looking at the wonderful old designs and print, just the feeling of peace and rest that i find in graveyards. some of my favorite places to walk.
please, pleeez pleeeeeeez remember how you did this, and let me know, i'd love to make some photo collages too.
