Hmmm... this almost looks like my smudge attempt.. Maybe I have NOT come along as far as I had hoped!!

I have visited a web site tonight that you all might find interesting. He turns a colored image into a 1940's era Marlene Deitrich type shot, giving full step by step details.

It is located at this URL

I have not been able to sleep! When I finally do shut my eyes for a few seconds I have this weird dream (I hope it is a dream) that 'SHE' is after me Smudging away at all my prominent features!

Soooo, I figured I had better submit this and try to appease the Omnipresent Smudge Goddess 'SHE' (who must not be named) ...

Besides, My mommy told me NEVER to use the F word!

I thought you had a problem with smudging ? Weren't the words "I can't " and "failed" used ? You were teasing us all along, weren't you ! that is great i love it, great style,

Oh and NO excuses now

The F.. Words got to me.
So after a lot of fumbling, finicky, fearless floundering, following fairly frequent fiddling freestyle, forming fun fascinating fodder for feasible familiarization, feigning fancy fabrication, I fuddled forward to finish a fast flowing, futile, funky smudge.

Beside all that, I was just trying to escape the wrath of the person who shall remain un-named!

But, Thanks for the kind comments!
