It was a brick wall deformed like it was made of cloth. So in this tutorial, or a quick-tips I will show you how to create a curtain made of bricks or how to deform a brick wall as it was a curtain. To do that we wil use a few stock photos, layer adjustments and the Displace filter in Photoshop CS5.

Step 2 Let's import another image, now of a girl opening the curtains. Step 3 With the Lasso Tool (L) or the Pen Tool (P) select the empty white.

The wall-mounted herb garden is a modification on a previous project and uses recycled materials that were lying around: You will need: Scrap of wood Empty 2-litre plastic bottles Batting Fresh herbs Potting soil Some small screws 2 picture hooks 2 concrete nails Hammer Optional: PC printed stencil Craft acrylic Paintbrush Here's how: 1.
