Photo Collage: Family Worship 101

Last week I spent an afternoon working on some upcoming designs.

The image Pastor sent to me is from here. Someone used it for a nice looking book cover for a family worship topic. After doing the small format designs, I realized that there was no way that tiny image was going to work for the 20x30 poster we need in the ministry center, so I started pulling pieces to put together something that would work in the larger print format.

Here's the original that Pastor sent to me - nice huh? It looked blown out but after some quick level adjustments I had a base to work with.

This is the final edited version for the HD Slides and another for the 20x30 poster:

Probably could use some more shadow for the hymnal that goes onto the Bible, but I think it's effective enough to pass muster.

Wood grain texture that I tiled and color corrected for the replaced table top is here and then the great scratches for the overlay for a more realistic table is here.
Here's the cup/saucer replacement.
Here is inspiration for the text layout.

I took a photo of the Bible and hymnal - see that below - you should've seen me climbing onto the desk so I could get an aerial view. For the cup and the book replacements, I had to cut them from their backgrounds, color correct and then add realistic shadows. Did some coloring tomfoolery with the chairs and such cause I wanted a layout that was more blue than red since I ended up only being able to find a red hymnal.

Talk about fun! It took a long time, but the end result was worth it.

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.
