DIY Enlarged Photo Art «

February 1, 2012 by betterremade I’ve always struggled with how to fill large walls, and I swear that how all the walls in our house are…large and empty! I have a gallery wall going in the entry, but unfortunately there can only be so many gallery walls in one house. Enlarged photographs are a great way to go, but I wanted something with a little more interest.
i just want to say that i envy all of you out there with a working fireplace. i have very fond memories of sitting around a crackling fire in maine, and watching my dad place freshly chopped firewood in a huge pile outside. that being said (anyone else watch curb your enthusiasm?) http://www.designsponge.com/2009/12/diy-project-kates-log-dome-display-jar.html

A New Tutorial ~ Hymn Page Feathers

Hello my dear friends, unfortunately I hurt my back whilst shoveling snow on Sunday morning. That meant that I had to rest a lot by lying down, because sitting was the worst thing I could do. So whilst lying down I took the time to write up a tutorial of my hymn page feathers for you. I love these feathers so much! http://todolwen.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-tutorial-hymn-page-feathers.html

Photoshop CS4: A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

I love Photoshop techniques that offer all kinds of possibilities for experimentation—and the following tutorial is a perfect example of one of those techniques. In this issue, we’re going to take a portrait and replace the person’s image with text (think 2009 Grammy posters). Pick a portrait that offers good contrast—a photo that’s very dramatic and dark probably won’t work as well. I’ve had the best success with straight-on head and shoulder shots, but again, feel free to experiment with all types of photos. For the best results, choose a photo that has a light background (or select the background around the person and make it lighter). http://layersmagazine.com/photoshop-cs4-a-picture-worth-a-thousand-words.html
