This is the first collage I've made which has a scanned scrap of actual wood veneer in it. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2835 X 3750. The bust of Saint Juliana is from Italy, c1476, clipped from a Metropolitan Museum of Art catalog.

Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2250 X 2850 pixels. See one original source here .

Filters are "Pixelate: Color Halftone" and "Artistic: Smudge Stick." Also I went berserk with the Transform and Hue options and I'm not even sorry. :p

La dee da... 'tis autumn: the time for sad (aka deep, dark) colors and questions without answers...

Combines "Stylize: Emboss," with "Sketch: Photocopy" & "Chrome" beneath. Then a medium setting of "Artistic: Rough Pastel" in Vivid Light blending mode above the others.

Mix of Transform (Scale, Rotate), in two layers with one at 50% opacity. Then a low-opacity overlay of "Artistic: Fresco."

More work is on the way! :)

Playing mostly with Transform, a little Stroke, some paint, and a few spots with filters ("Sketch: Torn Edges," "Pixelate: Color Halftone," and "Render: Fibers.")

Two filters from the "Brush Strokes" category: "Dark Strokes" and "Spatter," fused together beneath a plain layer in "Subtract" mode. Then I added a pretend brick wall using the "Texturizer" function underneath all that-- because I haven't done anything that corny in a while. :D

Combined layers of "Artistic: Palette Knife" and "Distort: Glass: Canvas," with bits of Clone Stamp and Eraser in low percentages.

Mostly a mashup of the filters: "Chrome," "Film Grain," and "Sponge." (Hey, it's 8AM here. Don't expect miracles. :p )
