Stayed up late doing this...


"First Day of School Jitters," aka another stab at Rima's Digital Art Workshop Deux

Just before going to bed, I had another idea for Rima's Workshop that I wanted to try. Bad idea, because three hours later, and much too late to be up on a Sunday night, I finished the "idea." I was thinking of all the kids going back to school this month. In particular I was thinking of Rima's girls. My advice: short skirts and high heels are fine. Short skirts, high heels, and being clumsy like me is a bad combination.

What I did:
Lots of cutting and pasting, a bit of rotating, and a couple of erasing of edges. Just for a personal challenge, I kept the original dimensions of the cuts.

Hahahaha! I'm laughing at the high heels bit - I refuse to wear them, always have. and now I have a 7-year old who wears her "high heels" to go to the park.

The collage is superb! It reminds of what Belinha does, and I love what she does. I love what you did too. As an image and technically and conceptually - wow.

One tiny question: why the white background? I was thinking it was to emphasize the back-to-school concept, but I wonder if you had tried to soften it a little or if that was too distracting?

Oh, and I forgot to mention how glad I am that you think and see in a completely different plane than the rest of us mere mortals.

I hope Neda doesn't see this - heels may still be a sore point!
but it is funny

Rima, I remember your saying that your girls wear heels. I'm with you -- I trip in my bare feet, so no heels for me.

And I did the white background out of no decision as opposed to a decision. Mere mortal is right.

Don't even whisper my name in the same breathe as Belinha. She is awesome.

Frances, you make me laugh. How thoughtless of me.
