oooo - pretty!  
New banner for my layout. Pretty. It's not so much that I find my own banner so pretty, as I think that it's one of the best photographs I've seen in a long time.

I love working with really good quality pictures. (*hints* at [livejournal.com profile] jefffiorello, dude! You have awesome pictures out there but in terrible resolution - I'd love to see some more really good quality ones that I could play with and make graphics for you? Also, dude, when are you coming back to see us? We miss you over on these shores!)

I have been horribly lax at working with graphics lately. I owe things to people as prizes from the AVAs, I want to spruce up the sites a little, I also owe people things from when I asked for prompts to kick start my muse again. I really want to get going with that, and working on this banner has excited me again. *fingers crossed* there will be more soon!

I like this type of banner much better than the last one. The picture is so awesome on it's own that adding the grain and fading to it I was detracting from what made it awesome.

Cropping it, laying it out basically like this, just seemed like a much better option.

*g*

(I have a headache right now, I'm hoping to stay up for the comment spammery, but I may have to bail out if the tea doesn't help... Oh! I have a skirt pattern nad I think I've got enough material - was up at Sis's place today and got some more things from her, including some old gingham shirts that the kids had, I don't have the sewing machine back yet, so would it be okay if I tack everything together and come sew it up at your place?)

It's a gorgeous pic, and really doesn't need the futzing with; pretty :D.


That'd be absolutely fine, yep :D

I just changed the font on it - made that slightly more simple as well.

Cool, show will be starting soon - me thinks tea may be required!

(Doubt I'll have it done for Tuesday, might be a couple of week's before it's ready to be sewn, or it could be tomorrow, you never know with me!)
