Book Reading Project

I know if I don't at least sign in and write a few words, I will forget my login id and password to enter my blog. So here I am.

I am still working on my photoshop skills. I am immensely enjoying the book "Photoshop Restoration & Retouching" By Katrin Eismann. I made a promise to read the book (and practice the techniques) for at least 3 times. Now I am less than half way on the first round. Check back to see if I can keep my promise. I really need some pressure on this. Yell at me, chastise me, despise me when you see me trying to back out!

Shampoo Bottle Design (failed versions)

Where is the successful version? I don't know. I may never be able to make one...

The bottle: drawn with photoshop.
The flower: derived from the original image "Tibouchina urvilleana" by photographer Kristine from St. Augustine, USA
