vg13. Working the Tech Aspect, One Montage Finished Fast and the Other took Longer

I got up good and early this Saturday to do the studio work.  My mind was clear and I was ready to roll.  I had been having trouble with buying a new program for charting on Google Play.  Since Google support was busy for a while I figured calling on Saturday might get me someone to speak to.  I mean there are only technicians and fools working on Saturday morning nine o'clock.  Once that was done, I would really go for some devastating beautiful photo-montages.

So I got the technical support on line.  And then I was transferred to someone else.  And then they had to check out the protocol.  And by the time the whole thing was solved the morning was gone.  Well, it wasn't solved but I would speak to the tech next week (it was the weekend).  So the morning flew by and I had some errands to do and by the time I got to do some studio work it was night time.

Actually that in itself wasn't bad.  Saturday night is a magic night and I have always thought that, with a little bit of mood music, you can enjoy yourself doing some pretty nice creative work.  I did two good photomontages.  Well I completely finished one successfully and did a fair amount of work on the other.

For the second image I kept on trying to get the fireplace into this image I was making for the Autumn Leaves: New City exhibition that is now in the Val Gal. I printed the image again and again with no luck.  And then the ink ran almost out.  So I have got to get some new cartridges pretty fast.  Luckily I got a gift certificate in the mail for the Office Supplies store I buy the stuff from.  It might not hurt to see if the prices are less expensive on Kodak, the manufacturer of the cartridges and the machine.

About eight o'clock I stopped.  I would work on that unfinished montage the next day.
The next morning I had to think it through.  I took a break on Sunday to do some framing of the images I finished the week before.  And that really nice one that I did on Saturday.  The results were really nice.

Finally  after resting from work on Sunday and most of Monday I went back to the unfinished montage, took a deep breath, prayed the ink would last, and worked on it again.  The results were good.  I will frame it next week.

Birthday Itinerary on the LIke-a-thon

And what am I going to do today? I am glad you asked. First thing I am going to have breakfast at the wonderfully designed new restaurant down the street. I dare not tell you the name because I want to have a place. If I told you well then you might be one of the multitude of fans that take the tables instead of me. So, in to the shower and then I am off to the races. (did you join my event) What? Not yet? Well now's the time.

Bieber; Under the Mistletoe

Well the laundry's done. I have two pairs of kicky pajama bottoms waiting to be worn now. We are talking pink leopard and monkeys on a purple background. The dishwasher is out for a couple of days now and we have been eating on paper plates so I am going to look for a nice place to have my lunch today. I have a selection of three restos in mine: French, Brazilian and a coffee with a winning menu.  After that, I am going to go pick up a couple of pastries for tonight and f or Christmas morning. Talking about the French resto, they have some beautiful, decorative pastries. I only hope they are open. Meanwhile, this being the 24th I am going to go back to bed for a bit before I get dressed to search our sustenance.  Meanwhile, why not pick up some Christmas images from Bieber. By the way, what does shawty mean? He says that a lot in the song.

VG30 New Collage? Just one thing before I start....

It all started when I wanted to change my small square image for the Winter Exhibition.  the task was supposed to take five minutes.  I would make a fresh collage.  Everything was prepared.  And just scoot the thing in.  All done. Unfortunately it did not turn out that way. First of all there was a Holiday Season decoration still installed on the picture.  So that had to come off.  And if I was going to take it off I had to film it.  This work was in the Rose Studio and the ornament was not just any ornament, it was chandelier inspired with real chandelier crystal integrated into it.  So I had to take a picture of it. And if I had to take a picture of it then I had to install the proper set up to that the light and shadows worked.  And if I took the trouble to do that then maybe I should film All the other ornaments from the Holidays.  And before I did that, I had to finish some with some new crystals that I had gotten. And w...
