Friday! I feel a happy dance coming on. I suppose Friday doesn’t really matter as much since I have been working every.single day. for umpteenth hours a day (late into the night), but I am still celebrating. I do have lot’s to celebrate–I am reading a fantastic book-Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, I can not put it down. I’ve stayed up past 1 a.m. for two nights in a row completely engrossed in it. The human spirit is alive and well in this true account and Hillenbrand is an adept storyteller. I am sure she could write about yogurt coagulation and it would be thoroughly enthralling, I am in awe of her prowess. I am celebrating that I opened my Etsy shop, I just started listing items these last couple weeks and to my shock + delight they sold. I am unspeakably grateful! The idea for the Etsy shop was to add more of the pre-printed stationery sets that are printed by a master printer (that would be me). Of course right now a lot of the items are overlapping but I plan to add lots more soon. I am awaiting my rented macro lens, I missed Fed Ex today (insert Debbie Downer music here) but they do deliver on Saturdays and I can’t wait for some quality time with it. You see? So much to celebrate!
This edit of a Wildebeest-ish animal, (chime in if you know the real name), was inspired by my fascination with antique photo processing. I tried to re-create a sort of Bromoil effect, it was complicated and I am positive there’s an easier way to accomplish it, but if there is I haven’t figured it out yet. I did locate an amazing lith print action (free) that I think some of you Photoshop enthusiasts will appreciate. I will be popping in tomorrow with day 07.
I will be editing a photo a day for the remainder of 2012::Project MMXII, this is my ‘after’, you can view the ‘before’ here.
My package arrived today!

Yea! Take lots of photos of your creations, your stamp turned out SO cute!
I’m pretty sure it’s a water buffalo. Not sure if it’s a Asian or African though.
