Don’t know about you but I like to recycle. I strongly believe that we could recycle at least 80% of the stuff instead of throwing them away every day.
So, here’s a little preview what I’ve done with, for instance, old glass jars, mostly from my favorite products by Saclà Italia :)
The image below shows, for instance, glass jars filled with soil and plants. I got my hubby to drill in some holes and put them on the wall. They are hanging on the driftwood I collect (what? you don’t collect driftwood? of course you do! everyone does that …) every spring. So, finally, here is what my bathroom wall looks like today, everything recycled:
Image below: sample of colored glass jar hanging on some old cable – the candle holder:
Handmade pencil shelf (detail from the wall in my room), combination of glass jars and driftwood
Here’s what the wall in my working room looks like:
As you can see, I am using glass jars as simple candle holders too… I color them, decorate them with leaves or stripes… or whatever I can recycle. Finally, I print out a paper candle shades and put them around the jars:
As you probably guessed, to create candle shades, I use my Photoshop brushes.
So, if you like these candle shades, this is the place to get them!
I hope you will maybe find some of these ideas inspirational and maybe you will find some stuff at home that doesn’t need to be thrown away but can be used to create a decoration or something useful for your household.
Have fun creating,

Gang,
It’s been a while since my last post. I’m working hard on my Photoshop brushes book (almost 3/4 done), but, I haven’t forgotten about you.
No way.
As a matter of fact, for today I prepared another Free Photoshop brushes set!
This one has some 13 bamboo and other types of branches and it comes in two sizes!
Small ones and big ones :) Since, sometimes, it might happen that the quality of the brush is deteriorated when re-sized too much, I prepared two sizes so that the whole range is covered and whatever size you need, you will have a real High Quality brushes.
So, it’s here, it’s free and it will remain here for free download for next five days. Say, until the end of the week.
Then I will remove them to Green Bulb Gang exclusive department where it will join other 77 Free Photoshop brushes sets!
Of course you can join Green Bulb Gang and get other 77 Photoshop brushes sets for free!
You can download them all and enjoy the sea of opportunities that they offer!
Anyway, here is the set, just click on some of the download links and – voila!

Hello everyone!
I know, I’ve been away for, probably, too long. This is like, only the second post in 2009. Snow is pretty high here, streets are frozen but your graphics-illustrations.com team is on the heat. And for a reason. We are preparing something AWESOME for you guys! All we need from at this stage is a little patience.
What we are preparing for you guys is probably the most complex brushes set ever published on this blog (and there has been like probably a hundred of them so far). But, those new ones are something special. I mean, if those were simple, straight-forward brushes, they’d be completed and published a long time ago. But not these ones.
So, together with Poofitzah (see below) we are working hard to get you the brand new, Finest Floral Swirls Photoshop brushes set.
We know that will be around 16 brushes in this new set, every brush will be 2400 pixels (almost maximum) and all of them will be more complex than any other brush so far.
In this post I bring you a taste of this new set that will to be published by the end of this month.
[ DOWNLOAD THIS PHOTOSHOP BRUSH - Floral ]
So, this one is free and it comes with a commercial license for all of you who make money creating scrap books, wedding invitations, photo albums and all kind of designs. You will agree that we are talking about real complex brush here. That is why it is taking so long to produce the whole set of 16 + over 100 elements. But, don’t worry, once it’s out (by 26th of January) the price of the full set will be the same as usual: $9.99.
Oh, and one more thing (important!): many of you ask about compatibility with Photoshop CS4! All Photoshop brushes in graphics-illustrations.com shop are compatible with Photoshop 7.0 and upwards: you can use them in CS, CS2, CS3 and of course in new CS4 version. Every new software version supports older version of plug-ins or similar. In Adobe case, every new version of Photoshop supports brushes down to Photosop 7.0. So, no worries for you lucky Photoshop CS4 owners.
Do I need to remind you of my sooper-dooper (I came up with it) deal on the 800+ PS brushes MEGA SET? You can get 24 PREMIUM PRO Photoshop brushes Sets (800+ HiRes PRO brushes with commercial license) for 1/2 the price NOW!!! (see all the brushes here) ->
And to make this offer a REAL GOOD DEAL here is what’s in the package:
- You will get 25th set (40 more brushes): Photo Corners Photoshop Brushes set (20+20) for FREE!
- You will also get an extra promo gift that comes with it: Scrapbook kit Grunge Love!
- And aside from these 800+ brushes … you will get the special 50% discount coupon code that will be valid for ALL OTHER PS Brushes sets that I ever made (Including the FLORAL ones that are in production now). How about that?!?!
- OK. I have some more happy surprises for the buyers of the 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA Set, but if I tell you about it now, then there would be no happy surprise, now, would it :))
Love you all guys, and don’t feel bad about the economy and stuff, use your imagination, many of my buyers started are real good businesses with my brushes (it wouldn’t be fair if I told you about them, but I’m kinda confident about your imagination. Also, please refer to some of my previous posts about business opportunities that open up when you buy HiRes PS brushes with commercial license).

Hello, and hello again!
Did you know that one of the simplest tricks to make your photo or design stand out is to wrap it up with a nicely decorated border?
Surely you did.
Scrapbookers – your photos, graphic designers – your plaques, certificates, price lists, wedding invitations … and much, much more. Amateurs, enthusiasts and professionals alike use borders for countless applications. Of course, let’s not forget about web designers too :)
So, I thought, here is a great idea for another product in my little Photoshop brushes factory. It took me a while – a few nights actually, until I was completely happy with them all and – voila!
For you only:
Borders – Photoshop Brushes set
As usual, these are also available in two editions:
1. Free LITE Edition that contains 4 brushes:

KUBOTA SLOPPY BORDERS
Get over 125 Kubota Sloppy Borders in this fantastic border Pak.
From elegant thin borders, to eye-catching medium borders, to heavy borders for a bold statement, this Pak adds the finishing touch to your tweaks.
KUBOTA SLOPPY BORDERS have always been a favorite way to present images in the old days of film. But with digital, this cool retro look is much more difficult to achieve. Scaleable, snap them on inside or outside your image, and even change the border color to fit your image!
To create the Sloppy Borders, Kevin Kubota and Craig Strong, (of Strong Photography and Lensbaby, LLC) went into the darkroom and individually printed the borders, using a variety of filed out negative carriers (the traditional way). Then, they were scanned at high resolution, and digitally prepared for overlay on any image.
Excellent for online presentations or slide shows, this is the finishing touch Pak that will set your images apart from the rest.
