Kalei Mania Graphics

Good morning,

This kalei creation also includes some line art to create side borders.

The background behind the kalei started with one gold bar line. I then created a grid tube from the gold bar which I use sometimes.

The heart I drew from vectors, and one day I created many kaleis and filled many different hearts with different kaleis. This is just the one I chose to put in this creation.

The top item is a larger kalei with a smaller one inserted in it.

I made one round item many months ago out of a vector and worked with shine. I put a little design on it, and then duplicated here at the bottom of the largest kalei.

Two more working days till the weekend. I hope it goes fast for everyone.

Make the most of today ... and I'll post again tomorrow!

Star and Hearts Graphic

Good morning!

I was looking through some of my past creations that I had in folders on my computer, and I ran across this one.

It's a kalei, of course, and done back in January of this year, but I thought it was pretty and so, I'm sharing it today.

Today is going to be a very busy HUMP DAY for me, so this will be short.

Enjoy your day. And, I'll see you tomorrow!

Just For Fun Tuesday Graphics

Good morning,

Ah! It is so nice to have electricity! Wonderful!

This clown is something I started over the weekend. He was "just for fun"! Again, most of him is from kaleis.

And then I threw in some other kaleis I had in folders. The frame is a partial kalei of a star.

Hope you can find "a little fun" in this Tuesday.

Have a great day. I'll see you tomorrow.

The World of Elves

Good evening!

I was unable to publish this morning. During the night, we had a very big storm and lost our electricity. When we woke up this morning, it was still out. Only about 2,000 people lost their electricity. So, without electricity, no computer.

This is a creation I did this last weekend to post for today.

As usual, I used a fair amount of kaleis. The elf's hair is a kalei. The pic beside the Pro's and Con's of Magic is also a kalei. And the bar code is from a kalei.

It was fun to create a magazine cover.

The evening is here, and I am off to bed.

I will return tomorrow.

Tags Are Great Accessories

It's Sunday morning!

This little creation could sport any tag; a name, a hello, or a sentiment.

Again, it was made mostly with kaleis.

I liked the textures and designs in this one. And, of course, the black and white.

I had hoped to post a picture of the kittens, but they are currently very well hidden under our deck. My hubby cut the grass, and they scrambled for new shelter.

As they are growing, they become more wary of people. I haven't seen them playing out in the grass as much as they used to.

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday planned. Enjoy this final day of the weekend.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Saturday Designs

Good morning,

It is Saturday morning again, and a wonderful morning it is.

The creation for today was made from kaleis as usual.

This morning, I was looking through a book on design. I tried putting together lines of different width, shapes, etc. I then just kalei'd until I found things I liked.

I am a big fan of black and white kaleis. They give you such distinct designs.

Hoping your Saturday is wild and exciting ... or just restful.

Note on the kittens: While mama is still around, I have not seen the kittens in about 3 days. I am sure they are much bigger by now.

I hope to get a picture of them sometime today. If so, I will try to post one.

Have a great day. I'll see you tomorrow. (I have a very busy day planned!)

June 2007 and Friday Graphics

Good ... Friday Morning!

Ah yes! Kaleis again.

This picture shows you my beginning picture. The one in the pink box. After that, you see the different outcomes of kaleidoscoping it.

Before I kaleidoscope it, I select it using my circle or eclipse selection tool. You could also use your point-to-point selection to get other shapes.

I used a variation of shades, in red only. I also like to vary the shapes and width of my original lines because they produce more interesting kaleis.

I then took one of my kaleis, not listed in the summary box (I make 14 each time, and they didn't all fit). I took one to make this frame, so you can see what you can do with them.

Here is the finished result.

Everything in this picture is from a kalei except the actual frame I made and the words. I found the finished product pleasing to my eye. I like the composition of it.

I had another one for today, but it really didn't go with these, so I'll save it for tomorrow.

June is here! Our weather is very warm now. Around 90 each day, but the humidity isn't too bad yet.

My garden of tomatoes is growing out of seeds from last year. I didn't have to buy any seeds as I take over-ripe tomatoes from the vine and toss them under the plants. I leave the dead stalks as they are all winter, and remove them in the spring. When I went out last weekend to pull weeds to survey the area, I found I had many more tomatoes growing than I bought last year! I will have to thin them soon, but I'll leave the strongest to produce my crop this year. There is nothing like fresh garden tomatoes!

Make it a great Friday. It will go quickly.

See you tomorrow.
