carry on shopping

a humorous look at myself and my shopping habits especially when I am in thailand ha

been away

Just got back on Friday from Thailand saw lots of amazing things checked out lots of art  and while at the Bangkok art gallery saw these miniature shops they had perspex over the top and were a little hard to photograph as they had lights and were behind a shop window they were for sale only a few hundred baht each just thought would share with u for the current project  cheers kim x

Topairy elephants

while visiting Thailand last year took this photo of topairy elephants in the summer palace gardens in Bangkok

the bottom pic shows the original photo

and the top pic shows my photoshop editing I took out the ground light & the lamp behind the elephant using the clone tool

& I used the dodge tool to lighten the trees in the background and I made some more adjustments using Image/Levels (Control L)
Prints of this are available in my store

Jim Thompson Used to Live Here

Once again while in Thailand I went to visit Jim Thompson's

house he was the founder of the Thai Silk Industry but he mysteriously disappeared while visiting Malaysia

his house sat idle for some time before the Thais took it over and opened it to the public its a beautiful Thai teak house and the gardens are lovely and it backs onto Bangkok's klongs (little canals where the river runs)

below is the original photo of the house taken by me

An elephant visits a temple

for those of you that know me

Thailand is my favorite destination so much so I go there every year to visit

The class task once again was to take a photo and make some changes

I took this photo last holiday while visiting Autthaya Its the Old City of Thailand once the Capitol but nowadays Bangkok is the capital any how after a few battles this place had suffered some damage but it is now under World Heritage Protection its an amazing place and I had the best day visiting there with my guide Warren

I took the photo and over the top I laid my original doodle then I took to adding some colour to it

I have made this piece another time the doodle has been made into a painting as well which has been sold
