A few days ago, I mentioned that I might post some of my art challenge pieces from the past. Our little group of "artists" started way back in 2010 and the very first challenge was "No Smoking". I remember that I struggled with the subject trying to think of something I could present.
During that time, I attended a work related conference at a local resort and while on a break, I spotted this huge ash tray outside on a patio and it was totally full of cigarette butts. I snapped a photo and then using my photo editing software, made it into a kaleidoscope image. It isn't something one would frame and hang on the wall, but it did the job for that very first challenge.
Tomorrow I'll show you a challenge from 2011 that ended up in an exhibit at the Shemer Art Center.

Dirty look.
As former smoker I am glad I gave them up many years ago.
Very clever. :-)
That took a lot of editing!
Amazing to see so many butts. Such a gross habit.
Glad you had the software to do the dirty work of arranging the butts in to a design. Very creative, Sharon.
Very different.
Well done!
Oh, now I love that, actually. It's a beautiful image of an ugly thing -- the contrast is interesting!
love the photos but eww as a former smoker it grosses me out.
