Marathon Bloggers Prompt Post 1 – Colors -Fractal Art.

I am in creative mood.

Many years ago, in moods like these, I normally would take the paints and color the walls of my room. There were many such patches on the wall with blotches of paints here and there. Some near my bedside, some on the table, some behind the doors and some even in the stairways. But that was long time ago.

I can’t possibly do that now. Can I?

But still I do get creative sometimes, and since most of my time is spend on digital activities, photoshop comes closest to honing my creative spirit.

Working on few layers, with blotches of colors here and there, playing with vector design, I was able to create this fractal art.

This gave me an idea to work on an eye.

Quite happy with this frame, I decide to work on this eye on many layers.

In every layer, I played with transformation, changing the width, length and angle of the design. Added filters to some layers  and a circular 3-D effect

Voila! Finally made a visual digital fractal painting that looked like this.

Chap Book For Little Dude

Little dude has started school. Early morning he wakes up, dresses up, takes his breakfast and water bottle and goes to school.

He learns nursery poems, listens to stories, and gets potty training and learns how to socialize with other kids.

I thought he could be ready for some sight-reading too and decided to make for him a chap-book.

The easy way to get the child interested is to show him something that he is familiar with. Every child is familiar with the people he meets everyday. The family that is close to him. Hence I decided to make a chapbook with the pictures of his family members.

I went through his album and selected the pictures of all his family members. I then worked on Photoshop, writing text, drawing balloons wherein I inserted sounds, splitting the words into syllables.

With all the pages in order, it was ready for printing, cuttings and arranging the pages in order.

Next was stitching the pages to make a book.

The greatest joy was seeing the little dude excited to see his own pictures in a book!!!

Yes, he is learning phonetics now!! I am extremely happy……
