Time for something a bit different

[oldmangrumpy]

I'm struggling with the portrait I'm attempting right now, so am taking a break and have gone back to more simple mandalas

[oldmangrumpy]

Still struggling with the portrait, so here is another mandala.

[oldmangrumpy]

A clay pot with flowers. The flowers in the top of the pot are brushes I made from photos of the native flora in my garden.

[Erisian]

I really like that and the fallen head adds the icing to the cake.

[teapot]

Lovely pot and flowers OMG you have such colourful flowers in your garden

[oldmangrumpy]

Erisian and Teapot - thank you both.

[Tas_mania]

I agree with erisian and teapot, the native flowers brush is very good.

[oldmangrumpy]

Thanks Tas. A picture of my new home.

Years ago our music was delivered on vinyl - firstly 78s, then 45s and 33s, being the rotation speed on a turntable. Artists dreamed of high sales giving them a gold record or a gold plaque, some of which were delivered in a format similar to that below ... OK, showing my age here.

Matching clothes for your new home, OMG.

(I'm a little behind )

[oldmangrumpy]

Ella - thank you for that; you are right, my home needed residents. So here they are.

[Erisian]

OMG, there is a guy on Youtube who reminds me of you. He makes videos of pixies in the woods.

Erisian - interesting videos

Just Playing with some paths, stroking them and rotating; et voila - a mandala.


Then turned it into a seamless pattern. Isn't GIMP great!!!

[oldmangrumpy]

Usual problem - struggling with a portrait so turn to other Gimp options.

[dinasset]

Very nice, OMG.

[oldmangrumpy]

Thanks Diego.

[oldmangrumpy]

Still working on a difficult portrait but was in a frivolous mood and had some Gimp playtime ... so I called this one "playtime"

[oldmangrumpy]

Only just out of winter and 34C already; so, having had an orchid created by the Deep Dream Generator, I thought I would do my own this time.

At the heart of a fractal

Thanks OMG,
