I started manipulating images when I first got an iPhone. I found it much easier than photoshop but the resolution isn’t great. I got a bit bored after a while – but occasionally I still play. Particularly on journeys when I don’t feel like drawing
I have found layering my boroinspired stitching with images of where I am particularly fun of late.
The trees are particularly fab in the spring sunshine in Edinburgh
Some I made the other month in Southampton when I was dog sitting Maisie
I start off with a photo I like – it has to have a strong contrast
Tree shadows in Edinburgh
Something I am working on – a grey boroinspired patch
Then I layer the two together in image blender
Fiddle with the
Blend mode
Save to pictures and fiddle with the editing
If I decide I want colour or just more – I might layer it with another picture etc or change another aspect of the edit
I might use the Layout App to make a pattern one of the things I like the most – is that I never quite know what’s going to happen
This is great. I should give it a go. Which app are you using?
Imageblender
