I am someone who likes playing around with images, not an artist or a designer. I'm making these images available for anyone who wants them, but make sure you first read the TERMS OF USE and understand the disclaimers and conditions that I've set out. If you do use my work, I'd appreciate a link back to my blog. Thanks!
This blog is in honor of my mother.
She taught me to see and to love color. Thanks, Mom!

Or you can go with a less conventional version: a heavy silver "chain" on a black background---off center to express the destabilizing effect of such a force---and bounded by stripes in black, mother of pearl, silver, and taupe.
Heaven and earth conjoined and intermingled. Luminous woven ribbons in teal and gold with a shimmer of brilliant rose and deep blue, surrounded by a protective metallic frame in teal.

ABSTRACT DIGITAL ARTWORK (DIGITAL TILES). Coiled gold, that dim antique color, banded with leather . Massive, solid pieces with a curved surface and a touch of frivolity in the edging of the ribbons. It has an Anglo-Saxon look and feel.
ABSTRACT DIGITAL ARTWORK. A truly glowing garland formed out blood red ribbons, green petals, and a peculiarly rich and sunny shades of apricot and gold. The corners are a particularly celestial shade of cerulean. Mysterious and luminous, hinting at the stress of new growth.
