Using Photoshop Brushes on DIY Diaries

Using Photoshop Brushes on DIY Diaries

I’ve discovered a whole bunch of interesting stuff while packing for the removal (don’t we all)!

But, when I run into the hand made diaries I made few years ago I just had to take a picture of them and publish on my blog before putting them back in the box.

Actually I was making those for sale and they were selling quite well on the coast, but for some reason the gallery that sold them closed and since I am not much of a manager or sales person myself I just took what’s left of my unsold stuff and put them in the box to wait for some better days.

I remember I was enjoying making those diaries sooo much.

I did all of it by hand. From cutting the paper and wooden cover, painting the covers, making the photographs, editing photographs and printing them on the canvas and then putting them on the cover of the diary…

Then, on the top of it all I put a final layer of the transparent varnish and voila – the diary was born.

OK, I hope you like these diaries, maybe some of you got an idea to do something like that by yourself, should that be the case feel free to contact me with questions or if you need an advice.

Back to packing for removal now.

Take care,
Silvia

P.S.
Keep your fingers crossed for my removal tomorrow.
I know it will be fast, smooth and problem less but still I won’t mind having some extra positive energy from you guys. Thanks in advance!

Photoshop 7.0 brushes, scrapbooking and how-to’s

So, you would like to print your own scrapbook that will be cool, unique and… huh, cool?

How would you like to make some cool graphics, merge them with some photos and print out as a scrapbook that will always remind you of some people or events?

Do you just feel you can’t afford to spend too much time working on it?

Well, let me tell you something. It took me one afternoon to do my Rovinj (Rovigno) scrap book. Rovinj is a small fisherman’s town in Croatia, at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. I decided that I want to have scrapbook of it, took one afternoon of and … voila! Here it is. Do I need to mention that I used my own brushes for it? (and of course my photos!)

Here is just a preview of the book and in next post I will briefly describe how it’s done. So, if I did it, I’m sure you can do it too. At home. Just using a printer, canvas paper, some textile, cork board, sea shells and a sponge. Nothing too sophisticated.

Photoshop brushes used for this book:

  1. Swirls (floral) Photoshop brushes set (premium edition)
  2. Tatoo designs Photoshop brushes set (premium edition)
  3. Simple custom Photoshop brushes set
