Caturday Art

Here is a photo focused entirely on my paw. It was converted to B/W in Photoshop Elements 11. We think it is quite an arty shot.



This one was taken during the same photo session and edited again in Photoshop Elements 11. Mum later added the Fresco art filter.

This is Athena's mum here wanting to tell you about our Caturday Art Blog Hop.

I've been thinking about doing a blog hop for a while now and since I've never hosted one before I am a little nervous and confused. That's why I ask you to please bear with me if I get it wrong!

If you've been following our Caturday Art posts then you must have noticed that I absolutely love photography and enjoy playing around with all the free online photo editors available to create artistic photos of Athena. I love art too, but I was never any good at drawing or painting. However, I am a creative soul so photography art is a great outlet for me.

I've always been into photography but it's only recently (since I started this blog) that I have discovered a passion for it. And as Athena is my muse and makes a wonderful model, I really love taking photos of her (not all the time, obviously). Our photo sessions are very short and only occur once or twice a week. If she happens to be doing something unbelievably cute and I just have to capture it, well then I quickly take a snap. I also avoid using the flash as much as possible. I have sensitive eyes myself and really hate camera flashes, so I can only imagine what it must feel like for a cat.

So, for Caturday Art Blog Hop I would like all who wish to participate to just go ahead and have fun making your pet photos more artsy. I figured it would be an enjoyable and creative way for all of you to join in and see what we can all come up with.

I used Pixlr to create this effect.

Christmas Dreaming Card available from Zazzle

Dreaming of a White Christmas card from Zazzle

Well, it's never too early for Christmas, I say. This long hot summer is getting boring and it stops me snuggling up to my mum at night and enjoying extra warm cuddles so I'll be glad to see the back of it.

Tomorrow is September and hopefully the weather will be cooler (though the forecast says not). My mum loves autumn and so do I really.

Anyway, as you can see from the images above, we have been busy designing some Christmas cards (it's only a few months away). I have been doing my normal job of posing and my mum has been snapping away with that camera (which doesn't need a flash, thankfully).

Then she's been onto her photo editing software and this is what she came up with.

If you like them and want to buy the link is underneath each picture.

Have a great Caturday!
