Travel Tales work, art, and interiors

Yeah! I’ve been a busy girl. I’ve done a bit of art, which you may review on my Text Effects page of my Gallery. I completed my Travel Tales pages for the 2019 epic journey eastward.

I’ve also made a beginning on my Interiors page. This takes you from the “before” pictures to the “after” pictures at some of the places for which I’ve done interior design work.

I still have not made any headway toward getting another Art Challenge going.

Work on the TV Stand is going great. I’m seeing completion on that within… a week, maybe? We are both horrible at estimating completion times.

I’m going to be posting pics of the new room and my new bedroom, too, after we have it all done, picked up, and cleaned up. You don’t want to see it now.

I’m thinking more about my brand today. I’m thinking about SEO and how such a thing wasn’t a thing back when I started all of this. “Branding” was sort of a thing, but we didn’t call it that. I’m thinking about how “draw” and “onward” have the same last 4 letters, only reversed. Wondering what I could do with that?

I’m remembering how I got it all started back in 2001 with my first Art Challenges. They were held on my site, so that got people there and looking around. Many stuck around for the tutorials. Some stuck around for my classes. And that went on for more than 5 years.

So ok, let’s do an Art Challenge. There are others out there doing stuff like art challenges, but they’re not me, so there’s that. Ok so where and how? I’ll bet I could craft a way to do it in Facebook. Or Instagram.

All that Glitters: Gold Text Effect

Whew! Just climbed out of that rabbit hole. There’s a ton to learn about Instagram and hashtags and such. It turns out that I was in hiding for an unfortunate time period, when a LOT changed, and I have a LOT to learn. Thankfully, I’m young.

Photoshop Tutorial Announcement

Text in Photoshop: a fun new tutorial!

I posted a new tutorial yesterday! This is a bigger piece of work than many of my tutorials. This one took the better part of two days to put together. And I learned new things about Photoshop along the way. The new tutorial is called “Text in Photoshop.”

In this tutorial, I cover all the basics of text in Photoshop: sizing, color, font, subscript, special characters. I also go into text on a path and images in text — Postcard Text. Good stuff!

At this point I have 29 all-new-for-2020 tutorials. As far as I know, nobody has found them yet. The index of all of these tutorials can be found at THIS LINK.

Thinking about other things to teach. It seems, from looking at the work put out on the PS groups on Facebook, that many people don’t get the whole look-at-it notion when it comes to creating art. If you want the hat on her head to look real, it must cast shadows. A card propped up on a desk will not have a shadow that looks like a drop shadow. Maybe I’ll look at a way to teach this.
