Well...
This is a little something different. I just felt like fiddling around a
little, so I started doing some fiddling and next thing ya know, it became a
whole blooming conglomeration.

And it didn't even turn out with the appearance I was trying to go
for...probably because of the silly movie I was watching at the same time I
was working on this...hehe.

I started by cutting out the lady from WET#2, then proceeded to re-create
her from ground zero. I was a bit over-hurried in a few sections, though, so
I didn't get quite the effect I was going for, and instead, she sort of
looks like she could use a shave. :x Once she was finished, I sized WET#1
to fit behind her and blurred it so it could fall into the distance.

The "matboard" was a simple border added in PSP and given a slight drop
shadow. The frame was constructed piece-by-piece using the corner piece that
I also used for the button-signature.

I didn't think I'd have a chance to try anything for this Weekend Theme, but
voila -- there it is.

Good work, you have much more patience than I. Where does one get "corner
pieces?" I was thinking just today about how to make them from scratch.

Have a nice Memorial Day.

 A couple years ago while browsing the web, I tripped across a site for a company that makes frames for photos, paintings, etc. They had a "catalog" of available frames showing just the corner of each and I stored those away thinking I might be able to use 'em someday for something. That was, unfortunately, before I started keeping very good track of where I gathered things from, so I've no idea how to reach that site again or even if it's still out there. Maybe a web search on "picture frames"?

Kewl, Bill!

If I wasn't remembering better, I'd say that was very nice of you.

 

<grin>

Varian:

 

I've been off work on vacation for almost two weeks.  In that time, I've mellowed slightly.  Wait 'til Tuesday evening and you see the old Curmudgeon.

 

I really got a kick out of seeing your textures.  Its kind of like a Rorschach test.  You look at the texture and then name it.  Be careful, we'll find out all your hidden personality traits.  [Had to look it up couldn't remember how to spell it.]
