A Pool Party in Collage


What an ordeal it has been being without a computer.  I had to go 18th century and do everything by hand.  I wrote articles by hand, kept notes by hand, did my art by hand.  It was refreshing in a way, but I still felt I was lacking something fundamental.

When my computer returned there would have been singing and dancing in the street but a lot of things were different.  Sure it was faster and better upgraded, but the upgraded operating system meant some of my old software was not incompatible.  I was faced with the decision of spending the money to upgrade the software systems I used all the time like Photoshop and InDesign, or downgrading my computer operating system.  I'm trying trial versions and we will see if it lasts.

In the meantime, here is one of the collages I worked on while I was roughing it.  I call it Pool Party.  As the temperatures rose outside to 104, I was cool inside working on collaging blue water and yellow innertubes for this little collage.  I like the finished product and hope you like it too.
