Digital Imaging: Scannography [n.]

I know I've been slacking on posting.
But it's because I've been working on some pretty awesome projects.
Don't worry you'l get to see them soon!
Until than, here is a little scannography.

Scannography [n.] more commonly referred to as scanner photography, is the process of capturing digitized images of objects for the purpose of creating printable art using a flatbed "photo" scanner. [wikipedia]

All of this weeks scannography art was inspired by bright spring colors. In case you can't tell- the little taste of sunshine we got this weekend has definitely got me wanting more!
Photos have some minor Camera Raw edits.

1. Take me someplace sunny
2. Erase away the dark







My sister and I have a semi obsession with paper, colored pencils, pens, folders, binders, notebooks and all other things school supply related.

My two personal favorite are post-its and sharpies! In fact, I got two 24 packs of sharpies for my birthday [one fine point and one ultra fine point!]

Here is my ode to school supplies:
The first collage is made of up two photos: one of post-it notes and one of erasers. I first opened a blank document and arranged two sizes of the the post-it note shot in a random collage. Next I opened the eraser document and made a selection of just the erasers and saved it as a new image with a transparent background. I then placed the images on top of the post-it note collage.

My second collage is made up of three images: all of sharpie markers. I overlayed these images and adjusted the opacity. The first layer is at 100%, the second at 80% and the third at 40%. After flattening the image I edited in it Camera Raw. I tried making this collage in various other ways, but it never really worked out quite right. Any other suggestions?
