Will you still love me if I change my Avatar? LOL
I know, I've been on here forever and have kept the same avator. Well, it's not even my birthday yet and look what our dear wonderful graphic artist Penny made me!!!!
She even picked a name for me while I decide what I want. What a doll!
Sometimes people can be so nice and generous you just don't know what to say.

(PenPen, Your fae-realm, kinda Brian Froud / Alan Lee, "FAERIES" avatar for Heather reminds me that I've been off and on searching, unsuccessfully so far, for a clear/easy/quick way to do PIXIE DUST in Photoshop, but haven't found a "good" tutorial on it, yet. If you like the mystical fairy kind of design stuff, like I do, like you did for Heather, for future use and projects you might want to Google "pixie dust photoshop tutorial" and see what you come up with. I haven't put in enough time searching to recommend a good one! If you find one, please share. It's on my to-do/to-find/to-learn list.)
Posts: 3,177Firstly - :redface: :redface: :redface: Thank You all for your sweet comments. I have been unable to sew for a few weeks and HAD to find something to keep me sane! Making avatars for my friends has been a pleasure and it hones my photoshop skills too.
I'm glad you like the avatar Heather
I am producing graphics for cash at the moment to try and bring in some money (hubby is bearing the brunt of the spending at the momnent) so that i don't have to sleep in a cardboard box in a deserted shop doorway at nights. I can't wait to get back to the bear making!!!!!
SHELLI - oooooooo that sounds interesting! I shall check it out asap. Didd you ever find any use for that website link i gave you? Have you discovered how to make lace graphics yet? Let me know.
Weeell, i'm off to browse the net thanks to our Shelli 
Penny
Pen, I did check out that lace graphics tut and bookmarked it. I'm so lazy, tho, that the last time I needed lace, I simply found an archival vintage type photo of some online and then did some kind of bevel/emboss, drop shadow, texture thingamajig to it to give it some dimension, plus I warped it to a much more squished, less elongated shape. I used it in my new website masthead. Check it out!
I will, tho, someday use that tut, to make my own lace. Thanks again!
MerBear OriginalsJust lovely....someday soon I'll be getting in touch with Penny and order one of my own.

I think it looks great Shelli, why bother muckign about with making your own? I sometimes think you can make life more difficult for yourself by mucking about in photoshop.
I checked out a few sites for the fairy dust thingy Shelli and to be honest i would just paint the thing in myself - it ain't rocket science is it?
I paint quite a few bits and bobs in photoshop instead of using all the fancy graphics tools - lifes too damn short for that.
If i ever paint in any fairy dust i'll let you see it Shelli -probably won't be as 'graphically' perfect as if i used the tools but it would be intersting to see what i could do would'nt it?
The tutorials are so BLOOMIN BORING! Like being back at school but without the boy in the desk behind you sticking bubblegum in your hair!
Penny
