From Counterpane to Hourglass

On the third Wednesday of every month, David Hayes over at Clearer Reflections will be hosting "Dave's Recipe Book Project" - an online collaboration. This is the second in the series.

The pic can be of any subject and any app(s) can be used… the only stipulation is that the image must be done all "in-phone" (or iPad). Along with the image, a specific step-by-step "recipe" is to be included.

Dave will post a list of all participating iphoneographers on his blog today so that you can be sure to find the links to all the "recipes". Check it out and join in if you like!

Here is my "recipe"...

Altered Image, complete with recipe

Dave, over at Clearer Reflections, is hosting the first chapter of "Dave's Apps Recipe Book Project", an online collaboration. He will be posting links to all the participants and there will be lots to discover. Be sure to check it out tomorrow!

Participants are to post a pic created using a iPhone/iPad/Android-based phone camera and apps. Pics can be of any subject and any app(s) can be used... the only stipulation is that the image must be done all "in-phone".  Along with the image, participants are to reveal how they created it, with the specific "recipe".

Here is my contribution - a day early - as I will be attending the opening of our joint art exhibition "Impression | Expression" this evening and won't be back to blog in time.

I used two images, taken with my iPhone 4 and altered with Apps to create what I call my Altered Image:

Image#1: reflection of gothic window in Cirque Room

Image#2: Costume Balls, made for Cirque du Soleil

Result: Altered Image "Ephemeral World"
