I've been experimenting with Spin Art and Percolator. The updates to Percolator have made it so much more versatile than it was in the beginning and it's worth checking out not just for it's strong graphic quality but also as a means of adding texture to your digital art.
I'm terribly forgetful when it comes to resizing and watermarking images before upload, but these two apps make it much easier;
iWatermark
iResize - this lets you change the dpi too, and do batch edits. Can't believe I only just found it... I need to try to spend more time at iPA...
Much to my surprise I've ended up with a series of Percolated spin art. If you're curious to see the series so far in it's raw state - sign up for my newsletter and I'll send you the password to my online sketchbook.
(What I need to do is add it to the confirmation email you get when you sign up - that way you don't have to wait for me to check my mailing list. Just email me if I'm being tardy...it's a spoon shortage rather than a lack of interest.)
Happy Sunday (or whatever day you're reading this.)

I think this mandala began as the doodle I did for @karinSF
Kaleidoscope X and then photo studio then addlib then back through Photo Studio a few times. The border was added with Filterstorm when I was looking to see how big the image was. Seems Addlib only produces small resolution images too.
Finally had a medic lay hands on me for the first time since my op. I made an appointment to see my GP to check my scars/wounds. (What do you call them at this in between stage when the outside is more or less healed but the inside isn't?) Everything seems as expected, she believes it'll be after Christmas before I start to feel the real benefits of being gallbladder free and made a lot of sense. So although I didn't think I was worried about the added pain etc I must have been, because I feel better for having seen her.
Fibromyalgia - never a dull moment.
And it's a really stupid name for it. Even chronic pain syndrome would be better. It needs the word 'neuro' in there somewhere. Just saying... ;)
The excitement of a trip out of the house left me exhausted, so I haven't dipped my toes in the twitter water today. My apologies.
I had a bad day yesterday so I'm late wishing a friend happy birthday.
I made a 'card' to send & thought it would make a nice eCard, so I'm posting it here.
Click the tab top right if you want to send one too.
Only one of this is the original art rage doodle given the kaleidoscope edit. Ive also ended up with a collection of percolated kaleidoscopes...which I prefer. See, the one app rule is too tough...
Another piece created from the garden photos taken with procamera.
I have the vague idea of using this series to make a little eBook with mediation tips, as a dry run for my SoFoBoMo...more about that another time...because I'll want help from lovely Fibro peeps...
Here it is...given the tiny planet treatment. I put it thru photo artista oil as well, but it doesn't work as well IMHO.
We have another art challenge brewing over at Muses' Playground (& it is a challenge. Very different to usual...) Mimulux has already finished and I'm exploring circles in various apps as a beginning.
I put a substrate image through PictureShow then percolated it.
Wonder what tinyplanet will do to it...
