Follow Me Home

This is kind of a reworking of my Butterfly Glade image, in a way. I was never quite happy with how that turned out but at the time, didn’t have the skills to do a better job. I always wanted to try something similar again… :)
This image is a mixed media creation; the background image is a pastel drawing I did specifically for the purpose, which has then had several hundred layers of photos overlayed in Photoshop. All resources used are my own, with the exception of two brushes: the brush for the hair was courtesy of Trisste Brushes, the brush for the vines was courtesy of Obsidian Dawn.com.
All photos by me on either my old Kodak Easyshare CX3700 or my Canon Powershot A480 compact cameras. Proudly New Zealand made. :)

Deborah McGrath
You amaze me Tara, the stuff you do is so clever. This to me is the book cover, all it needs is the story, is writing one of your stong suits also?
Tara Lemana replied
Wow Deborah, that is such a wonderful compliment, thank you!! A book cover, I’d never thought of that, I can see it though! As for writing, I write songs and I used to write poetry but I haven’t written a story in years. Might have to give it some thought now though! :)
Deborah McGrath
Go for it.
Tara Lemana replied
I might just do that!! THanks Deborah!! :)
