Colourful Composer Wallpaper

Colourful Composer Wallpaper

I fiddled this out whilst waiting for the colour suggestion for the one I’m going to do for a tutorial (Tony has spoken, the colour is green!). It’s almost too busy for a desktop but terribly pretty (even if I’m the one saying it). I just put my icons on the shiny floor bit. [...]

Vanilla Light Garden Wallpaper

Like last time, there are two sizes in the zip. 1600×1200 and 1600×1060. Enjoy!
ETA: I posted the resolutions wrong at initial posting. I also forgot to say that I’m totally willing to make specific sizes for folks who need them.

Amber Ubu - Ubuntu themed wallpaper

Amber Ubu - Ubuntu themed wallpaper

I just installed Hardy Heron on my husband’s laptop since he just got himself a new desktop, and wasn’t completely satisfied with the wallpapers that came with it. I opened up the gimp and made this. I’m super impressed with how much Ubuntu (and the Gimp) have improved since the last time I used either [...]

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

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 [...]

Cute as a button (a button pendant that is)

Cute as a button (a button pendant that is)

A wirewrapped pendant, made from buttons!

I did this for a friend who was staying with us (after she bought this wicked big bag of assorted buttons on an art supply run). It was terribly fun and simple to make, so I’m going to be doing a lot of them methinks. They will be available for [...]

Wedding hair jewels, they were harder to make than anticipated

Wedding hair jewels, they were harder to make than anticipated

I was asked to do some sparklies for my sis and her bridesmaids for her wedding. At a sort of last-minute-ish time she informed me that they had to move the wedding up by two weeks, and that she’d like some hair things instead of necklaces and earrings (the stuff I usually make).
This was a [...]
