Singsong Sky Wallpaper download

I wanted something blue and pretty and spring/summery for my desktop so I whipped this up last night. Head on over to this here Deviantart page to download it at full size. It’s in 1280×800, I’m totally willing to make other sizes if anybody needs.

iPod cozy final template

iPod cozy final template

Here they are in their finalized version. I adapted them from a couple other tutorials I found elsewhere on the net (I’ve lost the list of links for the moment, had to re-install windows a few days ago and I put some of my backups in funny places it seems) then tried my best [...]

Sara of the Woods on Deviantart

Sara of the Woods on Deviantart

A birthday present I made for a friend of mine. I altered an existing picture in photoshop, so she and the tree and her expression and all that are totally real, I just painted some pixie dust all over it. I also used the clone stamp rather extensively to obscure most of the traces [...]

My first crack at an ipod cozy

My first crack at an ipod cozy

I was recently blessed with an ipod nano (3rd generation, 4gig) and I don’t know if it was because it was refurbished or what but it didn’t come with a protective slip cover like my husbands 2nd gen nano did a few years ago. I figured there was nothing for it but to make one [...]

A musical interlude

This is a video making the rounds right now so you may have already seen it, but WOW does this kid have a great voice. I had to post it . This is Amy Winehouse’s god-daughter (are you supposed to hyphenate that?) with Amy on guitar and Pete Doherty behind the camera.

Ladies and Gents, I give you Theditor!…Again!

Here’s a wonderful animation created by that fella who’s videos I’ve posted a couple of times. (No not Brandon Hardesty, though he’s quite awesome too.) It’s for a very special purpose that’s explained quite well in the video itself, so I won’t slow you down by explaining it all in the preamble here. What [...]

Fun with Photoshop Actions

One of the folks in my Vox neighborhood posted a link to this funky Lomo photoshop action a little while ago and I just got around to trying it. I’ve never really used actions before, pretty sad considering I’ve played with Photoshop on and off for a few years now. I chose and interesting pic [...]

2 New Pendants

I’m doing pieces for 2, count ‘em 2 weddings right now, for two very nice gals. What’s great is one of them is somebody who found me through eBay, so all the time I spent paying too many fees wasn’t a complete wash. ^_^
This one is fun because I get to use a lot of [...]

We’re now 20% less broken (the site that is)

My I’ve been busy, haven’t even had time to just sit down and post.
Last week was rough, what with that whole harassment unpleasantness. I haven’t quite gotten back into the swing of things, and of course that means that there is a bunch of work now ahead of me. Why oh why doesn’t the bad [...]

Bob Ross - Why I don’t paint people

A lovely little tune to kick off a quiet Saturday morning.
Fun fact: Bob was a huge influence on my becoming interested in Art from an early age, but despite this, I never did get very good at using paints (I’m more of a coloured pencil/graphite girl), and my subjects are almost exclusively people.
