Photoshop Farming

I'm in procrastination mode at the moment, and have been for a few days. 
Supposed to be working on a particular project and it has my head twirling and my studio looking like something out of the Post War Blitz era with rolls of paper and transparency strewn on the floor, paints and gels littering the work surface and a bunch of prototype pieces layered across any horizontal surface ....

So to soothe the muse, today I resorted to one of my favourite pass times and went "Photoshop Farming" - a small personal phrase that describes my spending copious hours browsing across the internet for tools, tricks, actions and filters to 'soup' up my CS3.  I suppose it's a little like when guys go and get shinny mag wheels for their cars or buy bits to make their engines go faster, or in some cases, just louder!

Todays fun find..and heaven knows where I ended up getting it, as I had trawled the web for ages, was a cool little kaleidescope plug-in.  If you are interested, I do know that my search began at http://graphicsoft.about.com

The result was a re-invented piece of seagrass tha now looks more like a seaurchin with star appeal and the piece below started life as a bit of train wreckage.  Kind of cool huh?

SO COOL! I love kaliedescopes. I have a big one I got in San Francisco for one of my anniversaries. I have gotten each kid one and I have one constantly in my car. It's the kind with a big marble that kalied-y's anything you point it at. I am going to see if I can track your toy down at that url. After all I must not have enough to do. Really, I just need a break.
