How to make a Driftwood Seahorse

Chicago house and I had a little wander down to our favorite secret beach last week and collected a lovely bundle of drift wood. With a bit of creative magic I used it to whip up Seahorse!

My friend asked me to post about which ones I used but...well there are just too many. But in the interest of keeping it brief I thought I would give you my gun-to-my-head-if-i-had-to-choose-five-short-list. *Update If this list doesn't quite do it for you I have written a post on Five More Great Photo Editing Apps, a post on the what, why and how of photographic vignettes and an easy tutorial for creating cute mini bunting for photo props.
