OK, that does it. I am damned and determined to learn at least ONE technique in Photoshop, so I pushed myself, Dawn, and Matt to hold my hand, (and hold the phone since Dawn is in Seattle) step by step. After a few tantrums and glasses of wine, I think I gave myself a deep suntan from the self portraits yesterday and aged my tiny little angel just a few more years! This might be fun. I normally don't like to alter my photos, but I just love the grungy, scratchy layers available. I promised Dawn to keep practicing and do my homework...so I gotta go now. Recess is over.

Hi Deb,
Thanks for your comments! I am having such fun with this feet thing.
I'm dabbling in PS6 which I got for free so I what the heck, no pressure.
I went back and took another look at the Gypsy Cats. They're wonderful.
Happy days,
Joanie
deb-great job with the photos...LOVE THEM!!!
i'm trying to figure out elements and wishing i had the mental capacity for reading instructions...the thing i'm stuck on is layering-like i've seen done...once i have a layer done...it's replaced when i do the next one...ahh the struggles of an amature artist...

Well heck, next time I see you, I am bringing the computer and YOU my dear can teach me a few Photoshop skills! Not that you haven't already taught me many life skills!
HUGS!
How about we have a Photoshop Workshop at the art bodega this summer. I will bring in a few awesome teachers...
Deb I love your self exploration. It's so liberating for me to come here and see another woman braving artful self portraits. Beautiful effects here. The combination of photos. Just lovely.
