Here's my play ...thanks

[0lBaldy]

Just a few variations using the fake Smudge action..
First is a before/after cleanup in preparation for painting/smudging
Light fake smudge
dark fake smudge
Palms sketch action combined with the top layer of the fake smudge in Overlay

Was going to play with my new toy, but decided to Guillouche instead (added security thread).

Fruit Salad. lol

Yeah; now I'm playing with my new toy.

[0lBaldy]

Kewl beans Lyle! (or grapes or whatever!)

Can you import pictures of seaweed, fish, coral, starfish, shells, bubbles, etc.., into your new toy? If sooo, you might consider this months contest... I think it would fit right in and get some high marks

I'm hungry now.... think I will have a Salad with some fruit on it! Laters!

[lkroll]

Not so easy OB, but I can do Paisley. lol

[Gilbert]

Mine: experimenting with Impressionist plugin; multiple layers combined with Photoshop layer masks.
