Red and Black

I photographed a cover of a watercolor journal and created two different photos of it which I then partially turned red. I also photographed a piece of Japanese rice paper with this beautiful calligraphy-ish wash of black ink that I got from Kathleen A. I love the strong yet graceful lines of the ink and how they add a certain delicacy to the bold red stripe. Chris gave me a Chinese "chop" signature stamp over a year ago. I stamped it onto white paper, photographed it, and then added it here. Does it really say Carol Leigh? I like to think so.

This is all quite easily created using Photoshop. If you'd like to take my Beginning Photomontage class to see how it's all done, the class begins Monday. Would love to see you there. ©Carol Leigh
