Photoshop Fun

Mom sometimes lets me go on to her computer and use her Photoshop software.

I will occasionally post whatever I have done, with a little info about how I did it.

This is a picture of Daisy, cut out and put on a blank page.

Then, I made a gradient on the background layer, taking the blue from her collar.  Once I figured out how to save it as a JPEG, I posted it here.

The 10 planes on this image came from 3 different pictures of 3 planes. These are actual models.

LEGOs are one of my favorite things to edit, since their shapes are so simple.

Here’s one of my favorites.

THERE’S THREE?!?!?

Three generations of Eeyore in the house are proved by sopping wet floors (because of sobbing), and bloody feet or punctured shoes (caused by thistles all over the floor).

New Eeyore: I’m hot.

Ellie: Get out of the sun, then!

New Eeyore: That sounds like work.

Ellie: It isn’t.

New Eeyore: I have to move my front two legs, then my back two legs, and all over again.

Ellie: I’ll help you. (lifts Eeyore to shade)

MOMENTS LATER…

New Eeyore: I’m cold.

Other Eeyores are Old Eeyore and Baby Eeyore, both with emotional problems, going hither and yon.

GOLF!

This morning Jonny and I went to our first golf lessons.  We did putting, chipping, and driving. We managed to hit some balls more than 10″ … not very often but it happened. I liked putting best.   We are also going to sign up for a basketball camp. I think athletics will be plentiful this summer.

TEAM

We go to a homeschool co-op which is called TEAM.  I am taking Pinhole camera, Sailing, and Poetry alive. There are classes designed for Preschool 1-3 Grade, 4-6 Grade, 7-8 Grade, and High School classes.I am in 5th Grade.

I am sleepy today and feel like I’m finally waking up at 6 o’clock. Good night.

Hello, Monkeys!

Hi, I am Andy, and these are my monkeys. The big one is Mo, the small one (don’t tell him I said that) is Monkley.

I like monkeys, sports, and KSU. I had a birthday 5 days ago. I had an awesome cake. For school I do Math, English, Spelling, History, Bible, Latin, Geography, Reading and Handwriting. We grade each others tests in Latin and when we can’t read something we write BLURGASHMURG.

GO CATS.  KSU rocks. I got a Mike Beasley T-shirt for my birthday.Well, goodbye. I’ll blog again soon.

Hairballs

These are two more ‘hairballs’ of mine called Home and Away. I am a big K  state fan. No prizes for guessing how I got their name…

Cute pic, huh? They’re supposed to be hugging. These ones are similar to Phurpo and Marberie. Speaking of which,  I sewed another pocket on for one I made named Phurberrie.

A foray into photoshop

For my TEAM class I was assigned to take a picture using several types of settings,(aperture, shutter speed, and ISO) of any subject. Naturally, I chose a Lego set. This is a replica of a Theta class attack shuttle ( a pretty darn good one too)  with flick-fire missile chain belt, and 4 individually released torpedoes.

The cool part is that Photo-editing was permitted.

Here is the end result.

I took a black background and put on stars,  pasted on the shuttle, and drew the rest with my handy-dandy paintbrush tool.

Not a professional grade job but it passed in my class!

P.S.          Aunt Kakee , the set took about two hours to build and I think I have 100,000+ peices in our gigantic tub downstairs. About 3000 pieces are in sets.

What???

I was nagging mom to take some pictures outside. She finally told me if I want pictures I can take them myself, so I did:

Very icy spring so far.

The weathermen were saying a foot of blizzard snow. Hmmmm…not very likely. It actually looks like it more now that I cannot see halfway past an opposing street.

Jonny: Introduction and Current Project

My name is Jonny. I am 13, one year from a learners permit , ( legally, Mom says I’m not driving till I’m forty ), and my best LEGO set is a Republic gunship.

Project: The boys and girls are switching bedrooms back from our last switch ( we had the pink and purple checked room, and had to hide it from our friends- blush- ). We are moving back to the room with the sunporch and wood floor, which is good for Attactics and LEGOS, but is cold in the Winter. Our dogs, Daisy and Tessa, now sleep on the sunporch. Daisy is near two years old and Tessa is one.

Here is a pic of Daisy as a puppy with Andy:

So long from Jonny! I hope to blog , as ELLIE says  ” Lots and lots and mucher.”

Ellie Speaks:

I love going to the park.  I like sliiiiiiiiides, swings, climbing and slides.  We walk to the park near our house. I had a couple of drinks from Mom’s KSU water bottle.
