An Amazing Day

Beautiful flower E-card to say hello.. I am thinking of you.

NOT JUST E-CARDS

Click here to see the musical motion ecard..... and it is free to send!

A new day with the idea of writing whatever thoughts come floating by... not just about e-cards or creativity but also sharing those fleeting thoughts, obscure realizations, awareness... or perhaps frivolous dialogue.

Today I've thinking about - a lifetime of otherness. Strange way of expressing a thought I must say. Was thinking of all of the experiences I bring with me today. Not being young, not being middle-aged but beyond, I've enjoyed and lamented many experiences in my lifetime - the experience of joys and sorrows inherent with life and those unique to me - my otherness.

Ahhh yes..... I am thankful for the diversity of experiences I've had and those experiences make great memories. I can entertain people and create laughter in the storytelling of my experiences.... but it is the dreams and aspirations that are of importance. Dreams come from our spirit to create. Dreams inspire. Dreams keep the youthful spirit within us alive.

Until another day........

CHRISTMAS CHAOS

Gingerbread House

Ho Ho Ho

I do believe Christmas chaos is familiar to all of us who have enjoyed the celebration. Geez, I really think without the chaos it wouldn't feel like Christmas. The planning, the gift buying, the decorations, the tree, the parties to go to, the dinners to have, Santa secrets..... all are fun and all loaded with the potential of chaos. Hopefully we can laugh at ourselves and enjoy the moment.

We had a great fun making the two new Christmas video cards. You will see holiday chaos was our inspiration..... gotta laugh.... gotta have fun...... it's Christmas. Ho Ho Ho!

CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF LOVE

Couple on a park bench, yes...... but who would think paper cutouts could be so expressive and open to interpretation. Endless story lines could be written by their body language....they could be old they could be teenagers, they could have just met, they could have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, they could be quarreling, they could be sharing deep loving thoughts with one another........the story is yours to write, the card is yours to send.

Why not celebrate the day! Celebrate with the spirit of having fun. Be playful. Be outrageous.

When was the last time you laughed with abandon? When was the last time you danced in the spirit of just being happy? When was the last time you were literally playful? When was the last time you sang a song just from feeling happy? When was the last time you embraced

yourself? When was last time you shared each of these moments with someone you love?

Have a colorful day in the spirit of celebration........even though it is just another day.....and just because it is today.

CREEPY CRAWLY BIRTHDAY E-CARD

Talk about creepy crawly bugs and snakes this e-card has them all! They slither, they hop and they crawl to the birthday party for the celebration.

The process to make this card is called Stop Motion, perhaps you are familiar with it. A camera is used to take shots of a set or subject in which the elements or people move in tiny increments then like a flip book the images are put together in a motion program. This card was made in the same spirit and with the same process as the Bubbles Birthday Wishes card, my first stop motion ecard. ( See prior entry.)

What fun I had making this card. At the end of the card the snakes, little rat, and insects have party hats on. Now had I the need to explain what I was doing at the time, making play dough party hats for little plastic creatures, one would wonder what planet I was on. I was even amused by the task actually. This being my second Stop Motion card I was able to concentrate on the creative aspect of the card rather than being bogged down with all the technical aspects first time around thank goodness. There were definitely a lot of retakes getting the timing right and the movements as I intended them but the creative process was all fun.

Thrill the kids you know with a creepy crawly birthday card from E-MotionCards!

TIME FOR THERAPY?

"Are you sitting down? Ready for this? OK, good news or bad news first?" the guy in the white shirt asks in a rather excited and agitated manner.

Good news YES......of course..... bad news, well, can we pretend this conversation never happened, this guy never was smiling in my face ready to take pleasure in delivering devastating news. If bad news, he obviously has an issue with smiling at inappropriate times.....but hey, how many people do you know who do just that..... spew out earth shattering news with a smile on their face. Who am I to talk as I want to slip into the realm of denial. Let's ALL go to therapy and make the world a better place.

Seriously, enjoy the day with only GOOD news coming your way.

IT'S A WHAT!

Whatever this imaginary vessel is, it is fun and in this illustration it is sparking romance.

Can't you just hear a throaty voice over the sounds of the steam engine saying, "How about a............ light big boy?" as the charming captain catches the come hither look from his coy passenger as she lights his cigarette.

Well now wait a minute!  What is our charming captain up to?  The boat is beached with the anchor overboard in the sand and yet he is busy steering and the steam engine is puffing away.... must be steering his love to her heart!   Oh.....the romance of yesteryear, have to love it!

Makes for a playful e-card!

For the Love of Vintage!

I am totally enjoying my new found world of vintage postcards.

The quest is a treasure hunt.

The window into the past is inviting and intriguing.

The quirkiness is delightful.

The visuals are endless and amazing.

The story lines are telling of a period now past.

Nude = white body suit.

Erotic = a female dressed in petticoats..

Men with painted lips and slick hair.

LOVE these images.

And so perfect for E-MotionCards!

Fly On Over

Halloween is a great time to surprise friends with scary and fun e-cards. No other holiday offers such freedom to be silly and frivolous in our choice of cards or who we send the cards to. It is the time for our playful spirits to come out frolic.

As for me, I have the same freedom in designing the cards. Last year one of the cards I designed was a funny card using my royal standard poodle as my alter ego wanting to be a "Rock Star". He didn't mind the wig and receiving my undivided attention, in fact he got bored and went to sleep giving me the opportunity for the final shot of the card.

This year, well, I dipped into the dark side of Halloween and created as scary a card I could; scary in a psychological sense using a fly as a metaphor for something that is disturbing and creepy. I never really have any idea of what I am going to do when I start out projects like this card. Rather than trying to come up with a great idea I look for objects or things that "speak" to me. Actually I learned long ago doing window display to pay attention to the things I am drawn to forthose things hold within them the seeds for conceptual ideas - solutions to my design task of the moment.

Walking down the aisle of halloween costumes I noticed one lone mask of an old woman that had the look of a great character rather than the grotesque. Nearby on a peg I noticed these creepy eye-balls that were just the correct size for the mask; some red pupils, some blue pupils. Next to them was a package of flys, yes plastic flys, why not. Perfect! It's a start....and oh those fake eyelashes are a must. The old woman spoke to me and from there I had the beginning of the card I was about to make.

All my years of experience in window display, set design and photography come into play when I create the motion cards. I found scarves and fabrics to use for the old woman, applied her eyelashes, put her in eyeballs and took photographs of her in varying positions. We spent awhile together as I became in awe of how photogenic she was. She definitely "spoke" to me and the flys, indeed they added the element of repulsion I was seeking to create a creepy Halloween experience.

Now the time had come to import the photographs into the Flash animation program, find suspenseful music and go to a place within to create a visually stunning and perhaps delightfully disturbing, if disturbing can at the same time be delightful, e-card.

Now I must admit I struggled with this part trying one thing then another never pleased with the outcome and starting over. I always am a bit envious of creative people who conceptualize and have everything planned out before they start. Unfortunately, I am not in that category. At times the path is revealed quickly but most often I work and rework the piece as ideas float into my consciousness. I'm as curious as to how it will unfold as anyone else would be.

My creepy Halloween card is almost complete and I reach the point to decide whether or not the flies fly into the old lady's mouth. I decide not to have that happen thinking perhaps maybe that is just "over the top". The next day I look at the card and know a few flies have to fly into her mouth, after all, didn't I want to make a really creepy card! Yes, so in go the flies into the old lady's mouth. A-la and there you have the story of "Fly on Over" - a Halloween card for my website E-Motioncards meant to be quite creepy! Enjoy.
