Kym recently updated he picture on facebook and I liked it so much I had to use it. I hope you like the arrangement.








YAHOO, Finally did it.  Hope tomorrow goes better than today and I'll try for two. Thanks for being so patient.

This is another idea I played with. You can almost see her hair being blown by the movement.

Mom & Dad O'Neill

Working with a newer version of my graphics program so one a day until I get the hang of it.

I'm fond of these pictures from around Christmas of mom and dad visiting us on Claybourne. 1998 I think.


Going to give it a try in movie mode since the frames are already made.

In a Fish Bowl

The setting seemed appropriate to do this animation.








I'm having a little difficulty doing it as a movie as well. Maybe later on.

Well, it's later on and I succeeded in making it.




I like the way it fades into the next frame. 

New techniques

 I have discovered how to make a movie out of my animations with music. I think it makes a smoother flow. Here are the first two I've redone as short movies.

It looks a little blurry until you click the start button. The sparkles fade in and out so watch closely.

Please leave a comment if  you like it.


 






This is my second one.

A Wee Bit Irish

Happy St Patrick's Day

Tried a new technique on this one, needs a little work.

Lilli when It Rains

My great granddaughter Lilli. Isn't she beautiful? Very photogenic.

I've been copying them from her Grandma's facebook. I have so many its hard to decide which one to do next.

Thought I'd have a little fun with this following one. Borrow a little here and a little there and instant fun. Enjoy, it was a pleasure making it.

Cecil Ford Hart Jr.

This project has been gut-wrenching. A movie the other night reminded me of thirty six years ago,when the Air Force Chaplin came to my door in Guam, with the sad news of my brother's passing. First of several to come in his tribute.

having a little trouble uploading the animation.



I'm not sure which of his 4 daughters is on his shoulders.

Growing up, his ambition was to be a  U.S.A.F. jet pilot. An improperly set broken arm prevented that.
Hope to have it done before bedtime.



I love the way this one turned out.  The patch on his sweater is from his Junior CAP group.
I think Cecil is looking on and that little hiccup (jump) is his way of saying "thanks".

Inspiration

Good morning from a beautiful day in Tampa Bay, Florida. I'm looking for a little inspiration for my next creation. The right picture , the right "globe", the right base and the right "sparkle".

This one presented a problem, love the picture however, there are three subjects to accentuate. Here's Mike and Kym and Ron. I have to figure out how to curve the text.




I have to groom Reba so I probably won't do another today.

Beautiful Beverly

This beautiful young woman can brighten any room with the twinkle in her eyes and her smile.

 I will see if I can find a picture with her husband in it for my next project.
Don't they make a spectacular couple? I want to do one or two from their wedding soon.




 
Wait until you see the offspring of this couple. Just out of this world.

Long Time No See

This past Christmas was the first time I have seen my nephew in about 27 years. All grown up. Great to see him and know he is well.



Think I'll make my second one for today of when he was younger. And correction on how long it's been, I forgot about this short visit about 20 years ago.


And one more, Going to go back to when I remember the most about. Back when I was still making and decorating cakes.

Aunt Susan loves you Rob.
