Lookee that - 1+1 DID equal something!

 Well, my experiment of combining a Kawandi and a landscape is done...and I'm happy with it....


FOR SALE!!

The original photo I used for inspiration was this one...


with thanks, as always, to Dale Stewart,
for his kind permission to use his photograph

- THIS would be fun to make (and fun to eat!)

- Have a peek at the interesting creations of THIS artist.

- And THIS one too!!

- I think THESE might take a little patience to make, but they sure are pretty (and the raw materials are plentiful right now)

This quote is from Desmond Tutu..."My father used to say, "Don't raise your voice.  Improve your argument"

  11. That turned out very cool, Mary Anne. Before embiggening it, it looks kind of "pixelated". Well done!

    1. I'm happy with it. I didn't think of it being somewhat pixelated but you're right I think.
