So, gang, you didn’t really think that Photoshop brushes are only usable in graphic design. Oh, no! Far from it. Of course it all starts there, in Photoshop but it can end up on just about anything. It is all a matter of your imagination.
So, here are another 10 ways in which to use Photoshop brushes and this time we are talking about swirls:
1. Cloth (Bag)
Print your own cloth design with spoonflower.com – and then sew a bag or get sewed by someone who’s good at it. This can be a remarkable gift for your friend. Visit this link
2. Wrapping paper
3. Shoes
Decorate your shoes and/or sell it on zazzle!
4. Business cards
Design a business card at printbusinesscards.com
5. Wedding invitations
Design wedding invitations for your friends and family
6. Wall print
Design wall print with Swirls PS brushes and sell it at redbubble.com
7. Skateboard
Design your own unique Skateboard and/or sell it on Zazzle!
8. Tote bag
Create a tote bag (and you can sell it too! For instance on cafepress.com)
http://www.thisnext.com/item/54656BD2/Brown-Swirl-Tote-Bag
9. Wallpapers
Design and print with “designyourwall.com” your wallpapers
10. T-shirt
It is kinda old idea but still, we all wear them, don’t we? So, design your own T-shirt. Sell it or wear it :) at cafepress.com

Gang! Before I present you with my new Photoshop brushes, I just have to share this with you:
Here I am, getting ready to finish my work but just can’t keep my eyes of Poofitzah. The level if interest she shows in most trivial things is amazing. I mean, how much fun can one have with a plastic bottle cap? Or a piece of crumpled tinfoil?
Believe me, this little creature is totally amazed by it! She probably believes that plastic bottle caps are the biggest human invention since, like, ever!
The level of excitement she displays after kicking it, the passion involved in chasing it, eyes wide open after the jump and a quick catch! Sometimes I wish I could share her amazement, astonishment and interest in just about anything one can lay their eyes or hands or paws on.
I just love that innocent little creature.
However, in between keeping my eyes on Poofitzah, I managed to prepare a brand new Photoshop brushes set. This time, the theme is – Floral Ornaments so I called it Floral Ornaments – Art Nouveau. It took me a while to finish it, but, as always, that’s why they are of the highest quality… by the way, here is a short excerpt from one of the emails I receive about my brushes. Thank you guys!
“…Unfortunately, I’ve been burned before when buying brushes–I bought a huge set of brushes that were supposed to be “high-quality, high-resolution” brushes only to find that they were so small they were wothless as a design tool. Not only that, but there were so many stray pixels they couldn’t even be used in small projects without being cleaned up first, which is a tedious process in intricate brushes.
I’ve downloaded your brush set and checked them out in Photoshop. Even at the maximum size of 2500 pixels they are gorgeous–no stray pixels, no jagged edges! I will be back for more…”
These messages mean a lot to me. They represent a proof that I am doing the right thing taking it easy and working slowly in order to keep the standards high. I make all of them in high resolution so you can freely re size them without any fear that they’ll get distorted. I make sure that the brushes I make are helpful. They’re here to help you out with your Photoshop projects, so you can finish them faster while keeping the quality standards of your work – high.
So, as usual, here is a free sample, for you just to get a taste of it.

Trade booth design
… And how Photoshop brushes helped.
Of course, each article I make here has to do something with Photoshop brushes.
But, this article is about woman entrepreneurship, friendship and helping each other when times get rough.
So, this friend of mine, Susan, mother of two, married to a working man decided that she will not abandon her dream of having her own business just because she doesn’t have initial capital and no business partner to help her out. Initiative and courage – no doubt about that. Susan decided that she wants to produce pantyhose. So, she picked up all the savings she got, bought a machine a started a Lorien pantyhose&socks production.
There is one thing in life that comes almost as a rule. When people see how much passion, energy, sacrifice and persistence you are putting onto following your dream – they will, spontaneously, find them selves trying to figure out different ways to help.
And this is what happened to Susan. She was offered few square meters for booth on one international trade show for free! Sounds good – eh? Still, after investing into production machinery she had almost nothing left and the question was – how to equip that space and create a proper booth with no money at all?
So, we sat at my place, trying to figure out a way to do that when I looked around and realized that furniture in my apartment could just make a good start. It’s kinda antique furniture bought as a second hand at various antique furniture trade shows so I figured – the heck, why not?
A friend of hers had a van so no money down for transportation either and that’s it.
So, where do Photoshop brushes come in you’d ask?
Well, a year ago I had a photo sessions (click here to view – images from first photo session and images from second photo session) with a friend of ours as a model with her stockings on. Since Susan had no panels or posters I thought I’d use these images, decorate them with Photoshop brushes print them and apply to wood.
Woila! Here is how it came out at the trade show:
Can not really compare those with some high budget booths from big companies, but I think we did a pretty good job here. Especially knowing we did it with no money down whatsoever.
So, the moral of the story is:
If you have a dream just start working on it. Your passion will motivate people around to help out you and then no obstacle is too big and no wall to high.
Until next post, stay well and have fun creating!
Love,
Silvia

Next time I will show you how to make brushes out of garlic. Yes, you heard (ok, read) it right. Garlic:)

Gang,
Had a kind of the urge to show you maybe some other approaches to Photoshop brushes and their usage. Of course, the possibilities are limitless and this is one of them.
I used a Photoshop Hearts brush,but much more is available in this Wedding brushes package which is on sale now ->
So, this is just a small sample on what can be done with brushes in, like, 120 seconds. Fast and simple!
Speak soon!
Silvia
P.S.
Let me know if you’d like to know how exactly I made the image above.

Gang!
What I’ve got here is something completely different. Something new. And one of those “how did I not think about this before!” things.
It’s useful for all of you who have photos of your friends, family, pets, photos from travel or important and not so important events.
So, if you don’t have any photographs, that’s fine, I respect that, but then it just might be a little harder to apply the brand new, amazing, one and only:
Photo Corners Photoshop Brushes set (20+20)
Yes, that’s right. Photo Corners. Great add-on decoration for your photos. Whether you are into scrapbooking, photography (especially wedding photography) or just a photographer enthusiast, these will come very handy and will add that final add-on to your photos to make them stand out and get the treatment they deserve. Whether it be photos of your parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, girlfriends, boyfriends … you name it.
So, as I said, there are 20 of them and then another 20 – inverse. It is a wide selection that should cover all of your photo corners needs.

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.
