Sue Traber and I just got back from Photoshop World in Orlando and we had a blast! She won a Guru award for this fantastic photo called "Cinnamon Beach" and was also nominated for the re-touching category for another photo. Go Sue!!!
What a great experience. My brain is over baked with all the information but it was inspirational and a great creative boost to be there!

I am psychologist,who adore art and music:) I preffer see things when my eyes are closed. For me the inner visual world has an almost eternal demension...almost emotional experience trough colors and forms...when i open my eyes i can see only light...the light as a representation of a human soul...So complicated and changable....

Free Texture Groups on Flickr

The are a number of groups that share textures for free but my favorite group is "Texture for Layers"
Click Here

Many artist upload textures to share and all have free "creative commons" license.
The Group rules from Telzey. Lydia Marano
"This texture is free to use in your personal or commercial work, but you may not reshare, distribute, or claim/imply it to be your own." Update , i have learned that you can not join group unless you show you have active photostream showing your work on Flickr.Sorry.

Lydia is a very creative artist and I found this fun utube video showing some of her work.
