According to my Google research[!] the above is collectively known as a “galaxy of starfish”. Even if it’s incorrect, I’ll use it because it sounds so good 🙂

I’m a member of several Border Collie groups on Facebook, and one in particular, SkyBob Border Collies, which was started by Gordon McPherson. We all post photos and share stories about our furry lovelies and it’s a great group. Gordon is also an excellent photographer, and yesterday, he posted several photos of his pack, Sky, Bobby and Hemp. They really had that “WOW” factor and I just couldn’t resist tinkering with a few of them to give an illustrated/painted look.
Gordon has recently gone semi pro in the photography world and will take photographs and also offers a printing service. Check out his Facebook page here.
Here’s what I came up with…
Bobby
Hemp
Sky
I posted then in the group and got an amazing reaction – I certainly wasn’t expecting that!! I had some requests from a few of the members so here’s a peek at what I did – before and after shots.
And finally, Sky’s daughter and Hemp’s sister – beautiful Olive (mum and dad are James and Sallie Ashworth)
