One not-so-fun thing I've learned is that my scanner's color settings are waaaay off. Going to have to dig out the user's manual and see if I can tweak that. The colors are not true to life, but that encouraged me to play more. And I learned that I have to spend more time familiarizing myself with Photoshop Elements to achieve the colors I want. In the meantime, this will do:

"Digitalized Donkey," mixed media* digital collage


(I had started to cut out the tree with a cutter, and then thought, Nah, much faster with the drawing tablet. But was it? :P

* For my own memory purposes:
Background: homemade watercolor
Tree: Cut-out of ink drawing with watercolor splotches
Donkey: Cut-out from waxed paper that had served for baking my last loaf of bread, color change is digital, as are the details: Waxed paper does not like or accept ink.
