".This image inside the Barrister cigar box collage is a photo of a steam iron created by youngest son, the Woolly Mammoth. I pasted prints of the image inside the box bending like a Bandaid from the bottom to the side.
Once the box was given a glossy varnish it was tricky trying to photograph it, as the flash glare wiped out sections of the image. What was left reminded me of a quilt with triangular pieces of solid and striped fabric. How could I use that design? That's where the line between work and play blurred.
With Photoshop, I could crop the image, then flip it horizontally or vertically. I could "paste" the pieces together in various ways.
It took a lot of concentration to flip the images, instead of them flipping me! This arrrangement seemed to have the most potential:
Much of my evening was spent in this effort. Maybe the design won't lead to a "work" project. It was certainly relaxing "play".
