I'm trying out a new technique using photographs of ink cutouts and messing with them a little in photoshop. so far, it's really really fun. Because its just a photograph, you can move and arrange the pieces under the camera around all you want, and add things from your front yard, like little plants and things. If i get good at this, i'm hoping to animate some things this way...

A really vibrant collection of silhouettes and textures. I've loved your use of texture in the past and this just adds to ! What was your previous process if your don't mind me asking...? scanned natural media composited digitally...? Whatever it is it works beautifully!

This looks really lovely! I like the feel of it the comination of the floating colours and there soft edges to the hard edges of the cutouts!
