My secret place

My secret place

Actually I wanted to make a tree out of the hand, but after 10 unsuccessful tries, it developed more and more to this one. I tried adding other thing (more flowers, animals and so on) but it just looked worse, so I decided to leave it as it is. Comments are always welcome :) Fodor has been noti...

Imagination

Imagination

Wouldn't it be great to be able to make things alive just with a touch? Well, this little girl here seems to have this magic power ;) Like always my intention at first was something completely different, but I'm pretty happy with the final result. And yes: I know, that the bird, the flowers and...

Fragile Delivery

Fragile Delivery

I found the picture of the heart a long time ago and had it still in my bookmarks without any chance to use. Till now ;) I actually transformed the whole balloon into a heart, but it wasn't possible to recognize the source anymore, so I decided to just transform the ears into hearts. I hope you ...

Goodbye...

Goodbye...

I have the feeling, that I need to explain my thoughts behind this, so I'll do it :) Some of you may think, that it would make more sense, if he would carry the suitcase, but I wanted to say, that she just arrived at her destination, whilst his journey still goes on. But she has a strange and inau...

The magic of the written word

The magic of the written word

As I was a child, I was so fascinated about books. It was always a miracle for me, that whole worlds existed on a few pages of paper. Worlds, that made me dream and worlds, that formed my imagination. And today I can't even think about living without books, cause they still abduct me in magical wor...

Out of nowhere hope is born

Out of nowhere hope is born

A little collage of my main emotions right now :) These are: solitude, grief, love and hope. I wanted to arrange them in a way so you can see, that they all belong together. That's why greif, love and solitude are arranged in a kind of triangle. I used always the same background, cause it shall...

Captured Time

Captured Time

Time can fly, time can run, time can crawl... But sooner or later you will experience this little moment where the time stands still, where you are able to capture it, look at it from all sides and hold it in your hand. Maybe just for a minute. Maybe even just for a second. But it will feel ...

Balanced by sadness

Balanced by sadness

Inspired by this quote: There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. Carl Jung --- In case some of...

Wheel of seasons

Wheel of seasons

I started without really knowing, what I wanted to do, untill I found the compass image. So I started searching at Wikipedia, if there is something I could do with the cardinal directions and I found something. What I made is an image based on the Chinese symbols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four...

Feathers

Feathers

I know, this is not the typical fireworks shot, that makes you go "Oooh!" and "Aaaah!", but I like how it turned out and how it looks a bit like a macro of two feathers. And this shot happened actually, as I was trying to handle my husbands complicated camera, while I didn't f...

Its how you look at it...

This entry made me almost loose my mind. In case anyone wonders, how it was done, it's pretty simple: I opened the PXL logo on my computer screen and mirrored it. The harder part was to hold the camera without a tripod in the tiny little right angle, so I get the whole reflection on it, without any ...
