My whole family, hobbies, things i love and my heritage


This was my favorite project. I used a lot of the lasso and quick selection tool. Lasso tool was always my favorite tool to use. I went online and looked up some photos and used other photos from myspace. I transformed/scaled all of the pictures. In all I used 12 different photos. Matisse is one of my favorite artists and I loved the maid with the table. My dog, peanut, is sitting on the chair. Shes wearing her booties and coat. I love her so much and she is a huge part of the family. On the table are lots of bread because i am a bread head. there is also coffee because i could not live without it (i am addicted to caffeine). The plant in the background is there because one of my hobbies is plants. I have about 15 plants in my home. I love taking care of them and seeing them grow. The three flags at the top symbolize my heritage: Scottish, Polish and Irish. I am very proud of who I am and where my family is from. The background is a picture i took at the beach. i think it makes the picture really come together and look happy and loving. The people in it are my Grandfather: Pop-Pop (he has been my father figure my entire life), my grandmother: Nanny (she has been my mother figure my entire life), my great-grandmother: Gramma-Gibby (without her i would not be able to pay for school-cosigner), my best friend: Meredith (she has been my rock through some really tough times), my boyfriend: Brandon (he keeps me on my feet at all times but makes me so very happy), my best buddy: Charlie (one of the most kind, generous loving people i know). The six people are my entire family and i love them with all my heart.

I choose blue and salmon because they just looked so pretty together!
I remember from my childhood the messy colorful pictures everyone made. I especially remember the books I read by Shel Silverstein. He had such positive messages in his poetry and really amazing fun illustrations. The Giving Tree was my favorite book. It was beautifully sad but full of positive outlooks.
