...to all the mummies (mommies) that I know and have met, here and/or outside TL... if I miss someone, please tell me and be proud that you're a mommy too :)...
...to Marivic, Elmina, Magda, Christan, Janek, Els, Diana, Tricia, Linda, Bev, Lisa, Janice,
...to Susan Soisson, a mother in Kuwait and Iraq, making sure the soldiers have their food while her kids are in Indiana
...to the few 'comfort women' that are left who are still surviving after the Philippine-Japanese war
...to Betty and Nikki, who are so loving and kind to their kids
...to my sis who has a super cute baby that will celebrate her first birthday this month
...and to my mum...
Happy Mother's Day!
Mother's Day Proclamation (1870)
Arise, then, women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts,
Whether our baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:
"We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
From the bosom of the devastated Earth a voice goes up with our own.
It says: "Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war,
Let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
Whereby the great human family can live in peace,
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
But of God.
In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
That a general congress of women without limit of nationality
May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
And at the earliest period consistent with its objects,
To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
The amicable settlement of international questions,
The great and general interests of peace.
-Julia Ward Howe
Composition: (See WS)
1. I couldn't move the fake flower vase coz it's taped so I placed the miniature duck near it.
2. placed 2 black portfolios that was available in arm's reach and placed it as backdrop
Pp work:
1. copy paste another duck and resize it to make it as a duckling
2. I put the additional duckling near the mother duck to break the verticality of the subject
3. minimize duck reflections from the tabletop
4. add fonts w/ such colors to match and balance the distribution of colors
5. tweak colors using auto-levels
6. add border by using the Selection tool
7. use gradient for a fading border
8. create a shadow below the flower on the overlapped border
9. flatten layers, sharpen, then resize |
