An Out of Bound Froggie

 

I am starting my New Year with something new (for me anyway). I just learned how to make an out of bound photo effect. The process is rather long and a little bit complicated. However, once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy. I just searched in the web for the easiest tutorial to do this effect and I found it in this site:

How do you like my out of bound froggie?

Small World

I learned how to make this "small world" effect lately. I did not realize it is just easy.
You only need to follow a few steps:

• open a photo in Photoshop
• crop the photo so that the width is about 1/3 longer than the height
• resize the photo to a square (remove constraints and copy the width numbers to the space for the length)
• rotate the photo 180 degrees
• click on filter >distort>polar coordinates and viola! you have your small world!
• clean up the seams by using healing brush
• you can now display your small world photo!

Yes, it's just easy!

There is a more detailed description of the process in my HubPages article.  

A blogger, Robin, just finished doing this "small world" based on the tutorial I shared in my HubPages article. She posted her work in her blog here:

Thanks very much Robin! I'm so happy for you!

Precious Moment Christmas Decor

Even if the predominant colors of Christmas are red, green and gold, it's still nice to come up with other colors especially on the Christmas tree.

I just love this little blue doll on a tree. This doll is made by Precious Moment which has a Christmas house here in our country. I just love visiting their Christmas house.

By the way, if you would like to know how the red,green and gold Christmas colors originated, please check out my article over at HubPages.
