i was having trouble settling on a background for a family tree grouping i had put together - had tried to paint a tree, which showed promise until i ran out of room for the people.
i hit on the idea of scanning some pieces of fabric i have. one in particular appealed, though black calico and noisy, i fooled around with hsb and curves and got it to behave like a good background. worked real good. this was a lot of fun.
had a weird experience with a coupld of green pieces; they came out red, though i didn't do anything different to the scanner settings. looked about right when inverted.
anyway, just wanted to suggest a background source if you ever need one. look in your closet.
