Eye Of The Tornado

As soon as I read this saying the obvious thing to me was placing an eye within a tornado. After creating the tornado swirl myself and placing the image of the eye in the picture, it seemed to need something more so I added the picture of the ocean into the middle of the eye - making it a calm and relaxing scene and placed a few flying objects on the outside making it seem crazy.

Better To Burn Out Than Fade Away

This was the last one I completed and was all out of ideas. So I decided I wanted a a bright burning photo close up and I would do something with that. Upon taking the photos at home I realised that with the flash on, you could barely see any of the flames and that the fire itsself appeared to be fading. So I took a few more pictures with the flash on and then some with the flash off which gave a real sense of the burning flames. I then decided to mix the two pictures together with a match dividing the two. One end burning intensely and one fading away.

A Stitch In Time Saves Nine

Searching for ideas, I suddenly remembered a scene from the Brady Bunch Movie where Carol is kidnapped and in turn creates a stitch work to communicate to a patron that she needs help. So i worked with this idea where a man has taken nine people hostage as you can see by the knife behind his back and is checking into a motel room. One of the girls has created a stitch work that says "home sweet help" instead of the common term "home sweet home" to try and get the message across to the office employee potentially saving the life of her and the other eight victims.

How The West Was Won

I was having trouble coming up with an idea and as I was listening to my Country music, I thought, why not do something based on that. Basically, many singers and performers competing for the 2010 title of the "Country and Western Music Awards" with the McClymont sisters winning the final vote and performing for the crowd. A different take on the saying but still creative.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

After playing around with different pictures i'd taken I decided i'd really like to do something with a black and white background with only the rainbow coloured. After doing that, I realised it needed something more so I placed a picture of Tom and I standing in front of a pot of gold. Basically sticking to the tradition of the pot of gold that supposedly lives at the end of the rainbow.
