More Etsy Love!
Another item of mine has been featured in an Etsy treasury!
This time it's my purple & yellow magazine page bowl, in the treasury "After the Reading," which features items made from magazines, catalogs, and newspapers. A big thanks to member Mireloom for including me in her collection!

Come Sail Away
I came across some old postcards a few weeks ago, and now that the craft room is (sort of) set up, I've been working on transforming them into blank note cards.
I started with this postcard of ships in a harbor. The postmark and message identifies it as Nantucket, Massachusetts. The postmark is dated August 23, 1927.
I wanted to add a decorative border to the image, but because of it's age I didn't want to make any permanent changes. A simple border was cut from scrapbook paper, and glued to cardstock to create a sleeve.
Just slip in the postcard, score the middle, fold, and viola! A blank card from a vintage postcard.
Once I make a few more of these I'll be listing them on my Etsy. I'll be sure to post a link once they're officially for sale. :)

Photoshop Fun
The fall semester is underway!
This semester I'm taking a courses in Photoshop and Flash. I've been a casual PS user for a number of years, but have never taken a class focusing on the software. The first few assignments have been pretty basic, but still fun and informative.
This week's assignment was to create a texture quilt using the crop tool and upsampling/downsampling techniques. I opted to use only images from my trip to Sydney:
I really like the concept of this assignment. It's a unique way to display vacation photos, possibly as a calendar image or thank you card.
The Flash class is a bit more challenging at the moment. My only exposure to the software was as an animation intern three years ago. It will be fun to create some basic animations, which I hope to incorporate into some web design ideas I have. I'm working on an online portfolio to help with my internship/job search. Fingers crossed I can get it all together (and looking excellent) by January!
