Inspiration form the Russian dolls we have at home...

Using Photoshop CS2:

1. Made a selection of the owl
2. Straightened, added drop shadow and another shadow at an incline (with Gaussian blur 8.0)
3. Duplicated this layer 4 more times and resized
4. Added border and text!

Nicely done!!
I've been so busy lately that I've been kinda brain dead. So, rather than coming up with something by hand I used effects in PSP.
First step was to use the rotating mirror effect and then I used the pattern effect to create the pattern. For the first yellow frame I used add border and used a color from the pattern for that. Added another border with a darker color, used the magic wand to select just that border area. Then I cloned in a new pattern. I used the 3-d effect and inner bevel to create a frame like appearance. Did the same step (mines the cloning but using colors from the image) for 3 more times to create a frame.

i call it the chrysanthowl....or something like that.....

selected owl, duplicated, flipped, turned and placed on a gazillion layers til it took this flower form......added leaves with the custom shape tool and added bevel and gradient layer styles.....made a stem thing from the pen tool and stroked it with brown.....added a similar layer style to it that the leaves had......added a gradient background with a lens flare.....wanted some stars for some reason but flubbed it so much i just quit....

The owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
Ina beatiful pea green boat



Took a picture of a cat ornament...sized with the owl.
Picture of a canoe (green) and pasted in the cat and the owl. Tidied up with the eraser and clone tools.
