Few weeks ago, just before the sunset, Maneki showed up in front of my house. This yellow eyed cat just sat there and starred at me for a while. Then, she stood up and walked confidently towards me brushed against my legs, purred a bit and after few minutes of introduction we knew, she is here to stay.
I don’t think I ever saw such a straight forward and confident cat in my life. Even though I was a stranger, she was not showing any signs of fear. She was pretty sure I am the right person, she had full confidence that I will give shelter to her and her yet unborn kittens. Yes, she was pregnant. Her big belly showed that it it won’t be long before she brings more kittens to life.
And then, about ten days after, it happened. She gave birth to six adorable little kittens right there, on a blanket in a box I prepared for her in my garage. Three of them are white, two are gray and one is yellow. I made sure that she has enough food and water and that she was warm and comfortable there.
Even if I did not have two cats in the house already, there is no way that she would want to give birth and raise her kittens in the house. We were just to close there and cats always want privacy and intimacy at the time of birth. They also intend to keep it that way until kittens are old enough.
They are beautiful little creatures, these kittens and, believe it or not, I already managed to find homes for all them (never underestimate the power of Internet :)) However, they will have to stay with me until Christmas, at least.
So far, I manged to take one photo of them – every day. I hope I will be able to continue to do so for as long as they are with me. It will make a beautiful photo album one day.
And here is Maneki, mother of six:
OK. I know that the first part of this post did not have much to do with Photoshop brushes, but I just had to share it with you.
So, inspired with these new events I created the image for the header of this post. And just in case you were wondering, here is the list of Photoshop brushes I used in that image. Frame is taken from the
Wedding Photo Frames (squares) Photoshop brushes set (25+25+25) + 25 PNGs
*25 brushes in three sizes: for 2,5×2,5 – 3,5×3,5 – 4,5×4,5 inches photos

* Dates (2009-2011) Photoshop brushes set (50) + 50 PNGs
* Three sizes
* 50 transparent PNG files

O.K. This was a story of Maneki. It is not finished yet, but I hope her kittens will have long and happy lives. She will stay with us and I will surely do whatever I can to make sure that all little kittens come to the hands of people who will love them and in return they will always bring smile on their faces and peace in their homes.
Love you all guys! Stay well, give love to all living beings and be prepared to receive love and blessings too.
Yours,
Silvia

Gang,
You know how glad I am every time you show me creations you made with a little help of my Photoshop brushes.
Well, in one of the recent GBG eZines, our GBG members got (as always) the exclusive Photoshop brushes which are not available anywhere else on the net. On that particular occasion I gave away my “Flying Piggies” Photoshop brushes set.
And Fiona’s daughter (Fiona is one of our dearest members) liked the Flying Piggies so much that she just had to make her a T-Shirt with those brushes.
Fiona uses Photoshop brushes extensively in her work and you can see more of her stuff on: http://www.zazzle.co.uk/fiona_at_figero and you can see some more of Fiona’s T-Shirts here.
The second Photoshop brush you see, on the lower part of the T-Shirt is made of “Hawaiian Flowers” Photoshop brushes set.
Thank you, Fiona, for sharing your work with us. I am glad that your daughter likes her new T-Shirt!
Keep up the good work!
Love ya all, and don’t forget – have fun creating!
xoxoxo
Silvia

Gang,
Damask Photoshop brushes were such a huge success (page 1 on Google too:)) !!! I can’t believe it! Thank you for liking it!
And that’s not all. Many of you asked for vectors. And when you, guys, say something – I listen.
Yes, I agree. If you’re good in Illustrator, CorelDRAW! or similar vector editing application – vectors are the way to go. They offer so much flexibility, You can create unlimited amount of shape variations just using the vectors from the set.
Also, I hope you know. There is one FREE vector editing software – Inkscape! So, if you’re on budget but would still like to try vector editing – Inkscape is the way to go.
OK. Where was I? Yes, when you say something – I listen. I don’t just listen – I do. So, when you said – Damask Vectors – I did.
Ladies and gentleman, let me present you,
brand new, fresh and still warm,
the one and only
Damask Vector Illustrations Pack (22)
Damask Vector Set (22) contains Damask shapes in the following formats:
1. .ai (all CS versions from 8.0)
2. .eps format
3. .cdr (Corel 8.0 up to newer versions)
4. .png (so you can easily use them in any photo editing software)
5. .svg (SVG, or scalable vector graphics files can be read and modified by a large range of tools including Incscape)
Commercial license included!
| Preview | Get the Damask Vector Set (22) for only $19.99 in my shop – with commercial license! |
This vector set consists of same shapes as Damask Photoshop brushes set with 2 new add-on shapes (just to juice things it up a bit :)
So, if you want more freedom when with working with Damask shapes – this pack is the way to go.
All shapes can be combined with one another to create new ones and, as you know, this is a whole lot of new Damask shapes you will be creating yourself in no time!
Your creativity is the only limit. And since we all know that creativity has no limits, well, this pack can take you places you never thought were possible.
Also, I prepared a little video on how to use Damask vectors (2:26) – just a sample on how to derive new shapes from the existing ones!
And now, 3 vector shapes, totally FREE ! :)
Free Damask Lite vector set – 3 shapes – preview and download zipped ai, eps, cdr, svg and png here -
Yay! And guess what, none of these three is included in the real deal (I mean – package). This is just a teaser and if you are at least remotely serious about your graphic design projects you will go for Damask Vector Set (22) :)
Well, that’s it for today, have a great day, have fun creating, hug and kiss the person next to you and
Happy Thursday!
Love,
Silvia
