LOL. You know...Cindy- OWWWW, my head hurts now!!! LOL. You know...you should consider joining Cactus Monday! It is a great group of artists and photographers...I have a list of all of them on my sidebar if you want to check them out! Some of the zentangles are so detailed...I wish I could figure out how to do better. I guess maybe I could be called a kinda-sorta-creative person. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Lisa- Thanks!!!<BR/><BR/>Tootsie- Awe...thanks! I really am blessed! XXXOOO<BR/><BR/>Margaret- You are TOO kind, girl!!! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Aiyana- the free online program I use is called <A HREF="http://fotoflexer.com" REL="nofollow">FotoFlexor</A>, and I used the "cartoon" effect. You can upload any picture, and do all sorts of things with it very easily (user friendly), the only thing is when you are ready to move it you have to "print screen" and extract the photo out and then save again. It won't let you just put the photo somewhere...but it is easy enough to do it, and a great program. I only have Photoshop on my big computer, so when I am on the laptop, I use FotoFlexor!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-21481068110363497352008-11-16T22:43:00.000-08:002008-11-16T22:43:00.000-08:00You beat me to posting Photoshopped photos.

You have a very creative spirit, and find inspiration in so many things. And you actually <I>make</I> things, and take pleasure in making them. If that isn't what an artist is, then maybe you're a plumber, but I think you're an artist.<BR/><BR/>Ahem... OK, now that I got that off my chest...you have just taught me a new word: zentangle. I have never heard that word, but apparently I have doodled them before. And I put "zentangle" into the search field on Flickr, and found many other examples of this art form. Very cool.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011749964154446809noreply@blogger.com
