Thank you for viewing!~

I just notice I put a 'not' in the previous post - I'm mortified. Of course I didn't mean not. sorry

LOL

You have me chuckling over here... I knew what you meant. I've done the same type of typos myself... then I panic and try to fix.

No prob, I knew you meant it the nice way.

((((TY))))

i like the full-blown look. lots of depth and the apparency of translucency.

((( TY Craig ))) I remember those big Abalone shells my mother used to have when I was young. One of natures true beauty's. In fact they are so beautiful several Abalone's are protected and thought to be possible for extinction. Since abalone shells vary considerably it was fun to do my own intrepration. ((((fun fiilter to make))))) Was also nice to bring the awareness of them up to others who may not have known about them. Glad you like this one~

The best part is how tasteful and elegant your examples are

Thanks Ron,

Well this is just a screenshot from filter forge catching one while it loads over the other. If I had more time I would use the HTML to put them in a triple table tile code. (((They'd shine in that format and what I had in mind when creating the new tiles that have matching smaller tiles))). Suppose any web project or even scrapbooking would be good uses. Could use with CSS handcoding... however HTML triple tables is the format they would shine in. If anyone on FF makes web sets I hope they grab the filter to use,,, because I'd love to see them as web sets. Glad you like this one~

I really like this one too, Persidio, but I wondered how I could possibly use it. Suddenly you put up samples of 2 layers complimenting each other and I saw all sorts of potentials then... frames & matting, cutout with the other layer showing through, kaleidescope for making metallic textures (not an FF filter by Foxxee, just for my own personal use )... I'm sure I'll find more ways to use this one

Hi Foxee,

Yep,,, tons of uses out of this one. In fact my recent batch of embellished filters all have the slider size/pixels option to get smaller matching patterns from.

It's nice to have a filter that will spit out the smaller variations to match~

I wasn't able to respond right away because I had a city truckload (one of those big trucks... big) dump wood chips in my driveway (((workers were cutting trees back near powerlines in the area, they mulched it up and offered if I wanted it)))... dummy me said yes. And that would not be a problem but... my flower beds needs weeding (bad,,, lots) before I can get all those chips on. This happened right when I was posting samples... LOL

Revelations (hubby) home and I guess I'm going back outside.

Have some samples to get up for Ron first...

BBL

LOL

Isn't that the truth!

Unfortunately the reality is that my yard is filled with weeds – thoroughly neglected since finding FF.

Very beautiful - a nice place to meditate on filters.

And from the backyard looking up... watering at far end..

and then to my left wraps back around the house...

also this is Revelations first year to help around the yard.. I put all the beds in and mowed every year and I do all the tilling, planting, seeding. (((He'd mow about twice a year to this point))). That has changed this year.. and I am not mowing anymore... or so I say now before the year is over...

Sorry forgot to mention ... those are two Pear trees in the front... Revelation did put those in for me... A white willow we put in to my right.. that you can't see in the photo... and a plum tree to my left that you can't see.

I have lilac bushes up front as well... I have a ton of flower pics but I'll spare you with those...

It's no wonder your filters are so great with such peaceful place to retreat to.

and Thyme...

well okay one more of the pink yarrow...

you have any yard photos Ron?

Here you go, but you have seen it already. The weeds are in the other direction.

I like this one better.

There is no peace in my yard - only scorpions, snakes, tarantulas, ants, chiggers, ticks etc...
I do have coyotes at night though

Oh I wish we lived out in the country!

I didn't realize the pic was of your farm... I'd seen you use it as a sample... but it didn't click... and you've told me you live on a farm.

(((that is kewl.. you are soooo lucky...)))

I have garden snakes... I hate them... *shiver*

when we moved in it was 'all lawn'... I've had to the create the space you see here in the photos... any more photos?

Hey Ron... Lynn could whip your pond in great shape~

I lived in Atlanta for a few years~ ((((Near the Big Chicken ... Marietta.. Buckhead and Roswell)))) Luv Stone Mountain. Where in Atlanta did you live?

Never lived in Minneaplois...

Oh Persidio, , now I'm really sad not to have a garden. I love Pink Yarrow, had some red ones too, Dahlias and Peonies are my favorites though. What I wouldn't give to get my hands dirty again in rick smelling soil. I love your pics, just lovely! Thanks for sharing them with us

Very time consuming and a lot of hard work. ((My pleasure)).

WOW!

Just how big is your place?

Now the pond is pretty... luvs it!!!

Now the other photo was a creek... hummm.. didn't seem like any fresh water running thru it...

do you live in a tent on this land? Just wondering... haven't seen a house... that's okay we'll assume there is one~

Thanks for showing the pics!
