Even I am getting embarrassed by the amount of flowers i am posting, but they do make cheap, easy, models :grin::grin:

Unlike some, whose names I won't mention, I never get tired of flowers. :)

And yes they make much easier models than children. My 2yo has already started saying "no mama, no picture" with his hands over his face! The 4yo still does the forced cheesy grin. And the 5yo has reached the point where she poses but does goofy looking faces. Give me a tulip any day! (And mine are almost ready to bloom!)

Even I am getting embarrassed by the amount of flowers i am postingPalms half the battle is over by recognising the problem with an addiction. You must be making progress.
Me I don't care I revel in my addictions, thanks for the pics.
This may not look like it but it is a smudge.

Shhhhhhh don't tell Palms, here's another one.

A few days ago I stumbled upon a cool technique (http://www.innographx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=114276#114276) for creating Guilloche renderings. In refining the technique, I found that I really made for some cool stitch renderings too, so that's what I'm currently using it for. Here (http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8948/tulip1zi5.jpg)'s the full rendering; attached is a lower quality crop. :)

Dan thank you for doing a lovely image

Peter the petals on that look so delicate and as for the addiciton could be too late

Palms, Thank you for the nice photos!
Yes, indeed.

I like "no backtalk, no complaining" subjects, too! :)

Impressionist, Paint Engine, Photoshop Sprayed Strokes, frame by ePaperpress.com action.

decided to do some warp painting... sort of like smudge painting or clone painting, but you use a warp brush.

wow that is cool ! with a bit of glass like quality to it

Palms

Craig- I've never heard of warp painting before, very neat effect, glass or metallic
Danny- love the subtleness of yours, and I am loving that frame action you've been using!
(I checked out epaperpress and they have tons of info it seems)

Couldn't resist the flowers, so took a break and played for a time.

Thanks for the great pics.

Janet

thanks, palms :)

thanks, jordan :)

there were some other treatments in there as well. some threshold and blend modes and some other stuff. the warp brush is a brush tool in Paint Shop Pro similar to the warp mesh tool, except it's a single brush for warping. i dont know if photoshop has that or not.

very lovely, janet! :)
