Day 2.  Our tour of Amsterdam Cheese & Clog Factory back in 2014.  What a great day we had.  I feel a bit happier with this project that Day 1.

Ik houd ook van steam punk. Ik heb een paar files vol met SP attributen. Maar om te kijken, niet om te dragen.

Yes, I have a few steampunk files, it fascinates me. I have some friends who dress that way, not me, though.

Did the moon photo include the silhouette or did you add it afterward?

The moon photo with the "beaver" silhouette was taken by myself and I added the beaver for this project (that one was "actually" the October Super Moon).  The main November moon photo with the branch was the original photo that I took in early morning with the moon behind some very tall trees in my back yard.  I had to keep moving around to get one that wasn't overwhelmed with the tree silhouettes.  (See below).  These photos were actually taken with my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra cellphone.  The camera on that thing is amazing for a lot of things.

Lesson 1

The kids sent two photos to me that night. The second one was the same shot from the backyard without them in it.  So, I cut out a piece of the sky and used it to fill my text.

Lesson two

Picking fonts it really hard.  But I did enjoy using the sculpture effect on the chicken.  I used cass-steel pattern then put the original chicken clipart above it and used a blend mode (multiply) and it brought back the colors in the feet, beak and red parts (what ever that is called).  the weight plate (45lbs) was a icon image that i selected certain parts to give a inner bevel to and other parts got a cut out to make the plate more realistic.  I know, I spent more time on the layout and elements that the text.  I just noticed I forgot to add the shadow to the photo.  I included what the chicken clipart looked like before and after the effects were added. And for some reason the chicken got fatter 😆.  I think I really like that sculpture technique.  the only other time I've used it was in the last Text WS.  I hope I remember to use it often.  

Susan, this is just great. You are not only an artist with your photography, but an artist in using the tools in PSP and displaying your photo work.

This time, instead of creating new layouts altogether, I decided to complete the Workshop that I started years ago and had never finished.  I tweaked the first layouts a bit.

The layouts are all about the visit to see the "Making Van Gogh" exhibition.

Day 2
This was an interesting exercise, I must say. I enjoyed creating a word from many fonts, it really did make me think.
I had to cut and paste the 'unk' from the 'steamp' to bring the letters closer together. It was such fun choosing the letters to use.

We have a steampunk museum in Oamaru, a town about 3.5 hours away. I love the museum and the displays around this town. The old town is full of steampunk memorabilia.  I used papers from Raindrops and Rainbows, recolouring them to suit. I also used a rust texture to bring the black paper into a more steampunk rust colour. The other paper is a mix of Janet's black and orange papers.

I love steampunk too.  You did a beautiful job with the fonts and layout.  How cool to have a museum.  I bet you could photograph the day away in a place like that.

Here is my Page 2 of the Text Workshop. Our cat Bella loves to check the bookshelves for some interesting stories. I enjoyed playing with all the different fonts: Anberta, Calisto, Cherly, Black Chancery, Cat Paw, Arienne, Cat Paw, Brush Script, and Hesthia Austine. Some items are from Digital Scrapbooking.The cat and books are mine.

 

Pur-fect layout and so sweet.

Yummy!  I haven't met a cheese I didn't like.

Oh Mary, thank you so much.  That means a lot to me.

Like the subject very much and like your artwork. Can you tell me how you make the fuzzing out for the discreet portrait photos please?

Day 3  Text wrap around. This will probably be included on my graduation card. I made up the awful poem as you can tell!

Thank you, Fiona!

Do you mean the glow around the title?

If so, it's the Outer Glow from the Layer Properties (Layer Styles on the Layer Palette). The default size is 43, and the opacity is 80.

Here is a screenshot with the settings I used.

Susan, the entire town is beautiful, with limestone buildings. There is an older part, which is beautifully decked out in a mix of vintage and steampunk. We go there whenever we travel to Christchurch. A little way out, north of Oamaru, is a castle and gardens with a restaurant, and shops galore, owned by the same family.

Great work on both these layouts and their titles, Cristina. I am so jealous of you going to that exhibition; it must have been mind-blowing.

[Krystyna Nicholls]

Me too, I'm in. Have done this before, but as it has been such a long time now since I played with PSP, I feel like a newbie!
