Thanks to all your kind comments and a little intervention from the Gods that BE, some weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I am happy to say that today I have been working on a project that has been on the back-burner for sometime..... a new site with collaborative digital goodies.
The site is not quite ready but for now I am able to give you some sneak peeks and will start by sharing some wonderful textures that I have created, especially with Digital Photographers and Digital Collage Artists in mind.
The textures are all High Resolution, 300dpi and are 4000x4000 pixels in size - so WAY big and juicy enough for you to do fabulous things with them. Suitable for layering on your images, using as backgrounds or printing out to use in Mixed Media artwork. Check out the sample below...
How I Did This....
*Opened my Photo image in Photoshop (0r Elements)
*Opened my "Green Wall" texture from (Collection Set Two)and dragged and dropped it onto my photo.
*Changed the Blending Mode of the "Green Wall" texture layer to Multiply 53%
*Duplicated the "Green Wall" layer and set the Blending Mode to 64%
*Used my Text Tool to write some words, added a Drop Shadow to the text, matching the color to the green and added an Outer Glow to the text.
And VOILA! You have it!
So, if your appetite is whet, then you can check out the new texture sets...Click on the images for a larger view!...
Each set has 18 High Resolution Images with immediate links to the downloads and if you buy both sets then you can Save!





Exciting news Marie! Look forward to viewing the new site when it is complete.

Hi Marie -- excited about your textures. Purchased the bundle through Paypal -- was able to download the first collection, but didn't the second. Then, it timed out. Sorry... will await instructions to get the 2nd part! Smiles. Karen in AK

This is exciting news, so glad things have taken a better turn. And now for those textures, wonderful, I'll be ordering them as soon as I gather some fun money from the budget :-) Looking forward to touring the new website in the future too.
