| | | Clean Slate - Creative Interpretation For a change up, I thought it would be fun to start with a background and build up from there. So, given a clean slate....
Decoupage? Wood Burning? Brass Plate with award inscription?
Have fun! |

| | I used "soft light." Tried "overlay" but liked this version better.

| | Thanks.
Swampy has a great idea of posting plain bg's and /or texture. Allows for the use of images that wouldn't normally get posted.

And Family, ONLY 300 attempts. Sheesh, you are good.  Seriously, that does sound all too familiar.

| | | LOL Family, I'm just joking ya' know.
A bit about the "cat". Tis a bobcat. The picture was taken from about 3-4 feet away and without fences. This cat LOVED me, so well in fact the owner had to pry him off my lap so that others could see him too. I have several more shots of him close up as well. Ever have a 75 lb. cat lounge on your lap and purr? It was an experience I'll never forget.

| | | Peter S... I didn't know Wacom ran that ad, musta been before my time. Good catch.
FamilyTree... Well done.. Is that a cat in the left foreground?
Janet.. Great choice of subject material to add to the wood! The texture really makes it special.
Xaran...Well done. Lots of depth in your "carving". |
