Caturday Art Blog Hop
Today’s Caturday Art with Astrid dreaming of teleporting was created using multiple overlays in PicMonkey with a final layer added in Picasa. I took my usual more is more approach and kept adding and subtracting to the colorful and sparkling background to give Astrid her out-of-this-world look.
I added two layers of “Bokah” shapes hearts. You can see a couple of them to the left of Astrid. I also added two separate layers of “Bokah” shapes stars, and some of those are visible to Astrid’s right. I included three layers of “Radiance” in different colors. Overkill…yes! But I really like it; even though, all the additions made Astrid look a little angry.
Here’s the original unaltered photo of Astrid in her tunnel. As you can see she isn’t angry but deep in thought. She is imagining herself teleporting to Georgia to visit her boyfriend Sampy (Kitty Cat Chronicles). The photo above represents that “trip!”

It looks like a black light poster with the flourescent oranges and pinks, and the blue blacks. Pawsome effect and very purrdy. =^,,^=
This really is good! One of the neat things about PicMonkey is some of the filters can be applied to part of the pic and “erased” where you don’t when it. Brilliant!
That looks amazing, Astrid!
I can spend hours to create special effects on photos !
You look like you are teleporting back to the 60s Astrid. I am expecting to see Austin Powers (not Towers) step out of your tunnel at any moment.
Beautiful art, but you can’t go wrong with such a pretty model . Please visit us for a giveaway.
Wow, Astrid! You look cosmic!
And that’s EXACTLY what teleportin’ is like! Believe me, I know. I teleport quite often.
Purrs,

Cool picture of Astrid !
Oh wow those are some great selfies!!! Happy Saturday!!!
You look stunning, Astrid. I wonder what *I* look like as I teleport all over the world. I do tend to wind up at Spitty’s though. xox
WOW!!! That photo is amazing! And beautiful! Sampy says that he dreaming of the same thing… he would give anything to be able to be with Astrid in the fur. He sends all of his love, along with 50 trillion billion kajillion kisses and head butts. We all send love and hugs!
P.S. There is another slow-motion video of Sampy on our Instagram and our Facebook. It is of him leaping in the air, trying to catch his favorite toy – the zebra print feather ball, like the one he gave Astrid for her birthday. He thought Astrid might like to see it…. he was showing off for her.
That is beautiful!
Very creative….she definitely looks like she is teleporting. I love all the bold colors.
A beautiful * explosion* of the photogenic Ms Astrid. We love the picture Mom Janet & Ms Astrid.
Happy Caturday & B A C O N Day everyone.

WOW………that’s quite a beautiful photo of Astrid – Mom says a flashback to the 60s maybe! Sampson will love it I’m quite sure AND no doubt would also like for Astrid to make that teleport thing more than a “wish” !!
Hugs and Happy Saturday
