Last night I was tired from our trip, so just decided to play with the backgrounds I had already made so I made some word art using the giraffe template and then used many filters including distort to give a new look to some of my previously shown background papers.
Hope you like them:
I cut and pasted paragraphs from lorem ipsum and clipped them to the giraffe template.
I used a couple of distortions and the difference blending mode.
Distorted diamond pattern.
This is a simple checkerboard pattern with a polar distortion.
Diamond pattern with mosaic tile filter applied.
Today is going to be full - I have to do some grocery shopping this morning - we have no romaine, no tomatoes, no avocadoes, no fresh mushrooms - translation, no salad. We also need fresh fruit and who knows what else.
The first grader has no school today because of the flu and hundreds of students absent on Monday (she also had no school yesterday) so we get her and the 2 year old around 12:30 and will have them until 10 pm.
I am tutoring a Statistics student for 2 hours around 3:30 and then when I get home I will have two high school Algebra students here.
I am planning to do some work in ArtRage (I thought I had downloaded the free version, but when I first saw it was only $25, I bought it, and that was the only version I have played with so far), I MUST do a bit of sketching, I am hoping to play a bit more with the offset filter in Photoshop and try making patterns without always offsetting equally in both directions, I would like to finish my fabric book, I would like to use up the overripe bananas today (I made a batch of Banana Oatmeal Muffins last evening to use up 2 of them, but have 4 left)....
So I guess I'd better get done here so that I can accomplish at least a few of these activities.....
Bye!
