Transformation: Pet to Portrait

This week’s Daily Post photo challenge is around the theme of “Transformation.”

A new undertaking for me is turning pet portraits into stained glass representations; a transformation from photo to cartoon pattern to stained glass panel! And even the finished project is transformed with every change of lighting throughout the day.

Take a look!

Day One

I’ve been nominated by Cee at Cee’s Photography to take part in a new photo challenge that’s going around blogdom.

The rules for the challenge are as follows:

  • Seven days.
  • Seven black and white photos of your life.
  • No people.
  • No explanation.
  • Challenge someone new each day

I’m going to skip that last part about challenging someone new each day. If you want to play along, consider yourself nominated!

Thanks for the challenge, Cee. What could be better than a chance to share a bit of one’s life, no explanations expected?
