The first images I imported happened to be ones I snagged from my sister-in-law Alyson's Instagram page of grape hyacinths and honeybees. I loved the way the lines, colors, and shadows came through in the comic book version. I shared my little video of several of her photographs with Alyson after I made it and we ended up having a delightful interaction.....a wonderful by-product of my playing with Clips.
This is Alyson's original photo.
Another "Clips" comic version.....
....and Alyson's original.
This is one of Alyson's tulip photos and a screenshot of what my phone screen looked like when I was in the app. I know I only scratched the surface of what the app can do....but I learned that the uploaded photos or clips end up making a little video. You can see I played around with 14 photos (clips) for the video and under the "effects" star is where I found the "comic book" feature. I took screenshots of the "clips" and dragged them into iPhoto so I could crop them down to make a simple photo. I generally can get where I'm going with my limited skills...but not always on the straightest path.
Remember my torn paper rainbow wreath I made a month or so ago? I think it makes an interesting comic image and I love all the squiggly color details and patterns. I'm sure I'll be playing around with "clips" again at some point....it makes me smile. 
Today's quilt square #26 was loosely inspired by the rich blue of grape hyacinth. I chose three polka dotted fabrics to give a nod to the details of the flower.
