It's hard to sleep when you're having a coughing fit every few minutes. So, an upside to all this is I had time to make another new image. I started with my <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://picasaweb.google.com/avengraitis/PixelSandwich/photo?authkey=6WIZOaw5f1Q#5129110766310214322">dead mouse</a> picture from the other day, and then went a little haywire. After using the halftone pattern filter and radial blur, I started adding gradient layers to the image, thinking I'd try a new Abstraction-style image, but then on a whim, I added an old flower pic I had on file, and started blending the edges into the background. I think it gave it an alien sort of feeling. So anyway, it was a quick and painless image to make. If only I could say the same thing for my cough.Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346046385591694512noreply@blogger.com
