Having fun with photoshop!!
Especially had fun putting us in the tub!!That's me and my siblings with our Mom.I'm the second from the left.
This image was created using a Shadowhouse background and Zalinka png images.
I also finally finished a banner for the blog I like.This banner was created using photos of my work,my not so little, little kids,and some yummy rusties.I also used half of a label image from The Graphics Fairy.



I have also had fun etching brass this week.I have etched in the past,but I never knew that I could use Liver of Sulphur on brass!!Thanks to sweet Mary Jane from..http://mairedodd.blogspot.com/ I think I may have asked her a gazillion questions and she never became impatient with me.Thank you so much for all the help and kind words Mary Jane!!

Cat, it seems as if you have so many "first times" with a new technique (soldering, etching, riveting...), but yet your pieces look like you have honed your skills for years! You make it all look so easy, and you have such endless creativity. All in one post - digital art, an etched cuff (love it!), and the beautiful book pendant - that one is out of this world. Your work just keeps getting more rich and detailed.

cat, the cuff is incredible, you are a metalsmith of high esteem. xo

about the cuff, forgive me, you know i sometimes know not much :^) does that cuff work like a bracelet?

about the friendships here that are real: ysy. let it be known that if time, place or circumstance included an friendship with you, i would smile at that :^)

and not withstanding one very unfortunate relationship, word about me is i am loyal and often silly. (hee hee)
