Art Challenge
Fall down the rabbit hole and take a photo or sketch of you and merge it with another picture or two to come up with an Alice in Wonderland themed picture. (If you don't want to use your picture, just create something with the theme) If you're not using Photoshop, but maybe magazine clippings to create a montage or if you decide to sketch or paint, take a picture of your art. Send images to nikolaisen at yahoo dot com. All submissions must be PG or will be discarded. I'll post the images as I receive them. Can't wait to see what you come up with! (PS please send original art and list any image sources used - thanks!)

For Photoshoppers:
Just a tip about how to do this using Photoshop. Photoshop allows you to have layers, as discussed in the first lesson. Maybe you take a great picture of your favorite tea cup and open that, consider that your background. Next take a photo of you. Open the photo and copy and paste it onto the teacup photo. Next select the eraser (shaped like a pink pearl eraser on the side toolbar) and start erasing the background surrounding you on the photo. You'll start to see the teacup emerge from the layer underneath your photo. You can change the size of the eraser in the bar across the top of the screen under the "brush" dropdown. You can zoom in to get a clear idea of what you need to erase by going to the view dropdown at the top of the screen and clicking on zoom in (CMD + on the Mac, I think CTRL + on the PC) to get back to seeing the whole image select "fit on screen."
