The Design of a Palm Tree - 4

Pin It So this will be the last post featuring the photo of the palm tree that I took on September 20, 2011.  Click here to see the original photo and my first set of designs, my second set of designs or my third set of designs.

In this last set of designs, I used the colored blocks that I posted as part of my third set.  I took the blocks, put them together and then made a few alterations.  What do you think?  :) Rachael

The Design of a Palm Tree - 3

Pin It This is my third post that showcases my creativity in manipulating a photo I took of a palm tree.  To see my previously posted pictures of this palm tree, click here for the first set and click here for the second.

Here I have taken the original photo and made it look vintage.

 In this image, I tiled the original image in evenly spaced rows.

In the next four images, I have given the palm tree photo the look of a hand-carved, rubber stamped image.  I liked it so much, I repeated it in multiple colors.




So, what do you think?  Leave a comment and let me know which one is your favorite! Pin It

Around Town - The Tiki Bar on Lake Minneola

Pin It On July 30, 2011, I visited the Tiki Bar on Lake Minneola in Clermont, Florida, with a friend of mine.  Good food, good company and gorgeous views!

Tiki torches line the path.

A popular gathering spot for locals.


No tiki bar would be complete without island decor.


The view from my barstool.


We had a fantastic time and if you are ever in the area on a bright, sunny day, I suggest you stop by!

The Daily Pic - A Beautiful Door

Pin It An old, beautiful, heavy, carved wooden door....It makes me wonder, how many people have passed through this door?  How many hands have knocked?  How many storms has this old door weathered?

A door.  A work of art.
