Lol Loyd. Hate to think of what a service would be like there. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Thanks David and Loyd. I see my many flies turned into flying debris. I was too aggressive on the texture emboss. Does anybody still use that technique? I use it on most of my images. One of the many useful tips from Steve. You ' define pattern' and use the image to emboss with 'texture.' It embosses the image texture to. Useful trick. Thanks Steve. Been using it for years. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 1122: The sleigh ride
This particular St Mick has wings. Why does he need a sleigh? According to Wikipedia: In Roman Catholicism, Saint Michael has four distinct roles. First, he is the Enemy of Satan and the fallen angels. He defeated Satan and ejected him from Paradise and will achieve victory at the hour of the final battle with Satan. Secondly, he is the Christian angel of death: at the hour of death, Saint Michael descends and gives each person the chance to redeem oneself before passing. Saint Michael's third role is weighing peoples' merits (hence the saint is often depicted holding scales) on Judgment Day. And finally, Saint Michael is the Guardian of the Church. I could have spent many more hours on this crazy image but I was out of time.  |
