Happy Saturday

Current Mood:


Well, darn. I'm afraid the above quotation is correct. I had hoped that by now I'd been imbued with talent through something like divine intervention and what not. Instead, on my part it's just practice (and whine)... practice (and yell)... and practice (eat chocolate).

It looks like the Gods of GIMP/Photoshop aren't going to descend into my living room anytime soon, so below are my latest attempts without the help of my muse because... apparently... she's far too busy drinking iced latte's, flirting with hot Italian men that love their Mama's, and feeding the birds on the Venetian Square.

I didn't use a texture on Izzy's picture. I just thought she looked cute.

("Evolve" Texture from Kim Klassen, plus a texture from Shadowhouse Creations. I also added Gaussian Blur. I still haven't found a tutorial on how to desaturate an area that's too bright; the pillow area in this pic, from the sun shining through the window)

If I weren't so stubborn, I'd forget all this Photo Editing business and just stick to things I know I can do well; sleep, and finding nice Pinterest eye candy for instance.

Yeah, I didn't go crazy with this one. I really only focused on experimenting with textures and curves.

And it still bugs me how different my photos look on this computer versus the laptop. Even this website looks different.











This morning I had the strongest urge to check for any new WDW YouTube videos. I watched a couple, and then Mom comes home and tells me that her sister asked her to go to Disney with her.

Further proof that I'm Disney psychic. Either that, or someone's slipping pixie dust into my cappuccinos.
