I love the dancing tree, Kathleen. It's not just the technique that makes it good, there is such a wonderful feeling about it, like it goes with a story. (I hope that makes sense).

why thank you, sharon. what a nice thing to say. i'm sure a (childhood and adult) love of fairy tales plays a big part. i originally had the moon smiling only when the tree jumped, but it was too jerky. thought about making his smile get bigger each frame, never got a round tuit.

*All* very nice! Wish I had that kind of talent

. But I can make smilies.

Kathleen,
The title "moondance" rings a bell. Didn't someone have a picture of a girl dancing that used that title? Or maybe it was something similar. Very cool.

ed,

on this forum do you mean? i don't recall seeing anything like that. it's probabally been used for artwork far superior to mine. and there was a song in the 60s or 70s by that name too, that's my strongest association for the title.

and you know good and well you bring considerable more to the forum than the ability to post smilies, though you do that well also.

I love it Kathleen!!

There's not very animations that I really like, but yours really "speaks" to me.

I do, I do - I swear it! (That's what 17 hours in front of a computer will do to you.

Kathleen,

I had to spend a little time finding it because the title was not accurate. But it was close. I remember the photo because I thought it was such a good one. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/kmcrimm/v...c=ph%26.view=t

Kathleen, that's so lovely!

I'm even more impressed that you drew the tree -- I don't draw or paint a hoot. I love animations!

DJ, Kathleen and Tom

You've all submitted great original work.

I started with Paint Shop Pro by making the cutesy things, and except for buttons and borders for web pages, I don't know what people do with those cutesy things.

Anyway, out of all of my...ahem...."artwork," there's only one original that I felt was worth keeping.

It's a vector drawing of a dollhouse that I made from a kit. After creating and distorting the vector shapes, I converted the image to raster for the final coloring and other details. I then saved it as a PSP tube so that it would forever remain on a transparent background. I did use this tube once and that was in the "Cats" gallery submission. Here it is again in a larger size.

PS -- I did get Photoshop for Christmas. For the past few weeks, I've been trying to figure what to do with it by using an online, self-paced course in the basics. I'm also starting formal online classes this week, so I might not be around here as often as I would like to be.

That looks pretty darn good to me!! Wish I had your talent! Tom

That looks great. Love the detail work you did. So now you join the Photoshop users group. Let us know if you have any problems learning the program. Not that we can answer your questions but at least we can say 'Yup, been there, done that and still don't have a clue"

DJ

ed-
i felt pretty silly when i realized what you were talking about. i had forgotten about that. i wonder how long sites stay out there if you never use them, cuz i never use that. do they dry up and fall off, reckon?

thanks so much cj. i truly enjoyed making it

Lorraine-
did you actually make a physical dollhouse and then recreate it on computer? that's what i think you said. clever girl, on both counts.

and re ps6 as christmas present - wow - somebody loves you very much. good luck, and don't be a stranger.
