commenting on my experience with Blogger.com

January 21, 2011

I have been really thinking of starting another blog and using Blogger.com because they have tons of artists and its easy to follow their blogs.  But I just can not commit and the reason is their comment process.  So many times and I really wish all my fellow bloggers that use blogger, know how many comments you miss because Blogger makes it so hard to process a simple comment without jumping thru a million hoops. All to leave words of encouragement, or kudos, or just a hello, nice to find your site. But not with Blogger.com   I was just now making a comment and when I got to the post comment part I used wordpress and accedently hit the return key before everything was typed in and my whole comment vanished before I even realised what had happened..  I know I should have been paying more attention, but come on, this happens more times than not.  yuck

Here is the subject that another Blogger was posting about and how fun her post was.  A beautiful wooden chair that had been in the family forever, she had inherited it and painted it shiny black with pink and orange stripe cushions.  How fun,….. so I thought I would post a scan of a sketch I did of my favorite chair years ago.

My Green Chair

Now I need to go back and find that post.  Wish me luck

just us hens

Tonight we had a cheddar cheese, onion, chives and cilantro omelet, with toast and thick cherry jam. The toast came from a local bakery that is also a  coffee shop and the little market I work for resells the bread to local people that live 20 miles north of Taos, New Mexico.  The eggs from the omelet come from a fellow worker that has a little ranch that creates fresh eggs, goats milk and cheese.  The butter is from an Australian Butter in a Can Company that we buy on line.  The cherry jam, cheddar cheese and cilantro are bought in the local super market. And the last, but not least, the garnish of chives and little-bitty cherry tomatoes are from out own little Sugar-Shack Rancho out here in the bush….

Pansies After the Rain’ tutorial

August 2, 2010

I Love Pansies and here are a few from my favorite planter taken just yesterday. We had a wonderful hard drenching rain here in North Eastern New Mexico, in our little corner of heaven.  Rain is always soooo refreshing…… and sweet  Ꮺ ❀❃✿❉ Ꮺ…

Pansies After the Rain

this⤴ photo came from this ⤵ photo:

Original Pansies After the Rain

In PhotoShop Elements 6.0 for Mac’s, I used:

Enhance ,

Adjust Lighting ,

brightness +69% , and

+100% contrast .

and then…. after I saved it, I UnDid ⤶  that,   and tryed this instead:

Vintage Feel of Pansies After the Rain

which is just:

Enhance  ,

Adjust Lighting , and

-50% contrast .

Which one do you like better?

I love hearing what you think and have to say.  Even tho I don’t always respond as much and as quickly as maybe might be cool,  I do love hearing your thoughts and insights into my creative processes.

Here are a few just for fun:❉⤵

Beautiful Wonders of Etsy

this image isn’t perfect and it’s not clickable, but hopefully you get the idea of  some of the awesome art over there.  Hopefully you will check it out, please spread the link and comment if you please.  The more clicks and view it gets, the more likely it would get noticed for the front page of Etsy.

And if you feel like buying I know the artist would greatly appreciate it

Peace n Abundance,

CheyAnne
