allsorts Hellooooo! Yes, it's long lost little me, finally getting back to my poor neglected blog. And I come bearing gifts, two freebies for you... a pair of sweet printable shabby rosy paper chains, ready to print as many times as you like and festoon your own shabby cottage... And, they just happen to be samplings of two of my new Shabby Roses digital scrapbook paper packs! It all began when I saw some vintage wallpaper designs that reminded me a bit of Cath Kidston. To get your paper chains, leave a comment (make sure you're not signed into typepad) and I will email you the zipped file. I hope you like them... let me know what you think!

Roxy Creations Plan a Vacation Tallgrass Prairie Studio Non daily diary — Le Lapin dans la Lune Working on watercolors after 25 years of CG art, then publishing illustration books, I discovered one thing : there’s gazillion of ways to create colors, but only one to see them.

First, let's remember how we see colors. We have red, blue and green cones in the retina. We see in RGB. Click on this link to a more detailed description of how we see on the Pantone Website : How do we see color. I was looking for a way to generate a color wheel as we really see it, and finally settled for this fool proof method :I made a RGB picture in Photoshop.
