	Quote from jenlynn820 recently completed fanfic, "Wanderlust". I'm in love with this fic!! If you haven't read it, make the time. It's damn near perfect (and I'm only about halfway through it). "Did you imagine last week you'd be in Louisville and gone gay?" Jen, honey... you have no idea how much this made me laugh!! I'm just thankful I wasn't drinking at the time. ;) Now for the rest. I seem to have a hard time making desktops like this--I'm used to doing things "clean" for printing. But I like to try and stretch, so here is "Contemplation" in a desktop with a few icons to go with it. 1024 x 768 (and for anyone who doesn't like the grid, let me know. I have one without) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Tags: icons, orlando, viggo, wallpapers Current Mood: amused Current Music: "Born to Run" Bruce Springsteen

LOL I'm hoping that's a good thing, yeah?

I honestly wouldn't know where to start with a tut. It's all basically layers of brushes, a font called "Satisfaction", and a light texture. I think where my stuff has a distinct look--it's my smudge tool. I use a diffused circular brush on 19 for large areas and I drop that to a non-diffused circular brush and lower the impression to a 9 or a ten and barely move it. It's really that simple. ;) If you want me to share the brushes I use for the basic smudging, I'll be glad to.

The WP and the icons are lovely :) I saw you mention the font, satisfaction below, do you think you could point me to where i can download it?

I love it!!! And living in Louisville, as you know, it just really caused me to laugh. Not one of those "too polite to laugh" things, but one of those OMG-laughs! We got more gay bars here than cities *half* this size. ;) Oh--and just for future reference, it's only about 40 minutes to Frankfort from here.

It's a bought font. Sis and I went in halvsies and got it. It was only $10, so we got off cheap. ;) I'll mail it to you, how about that? Then you won't have to spend any money.

Glad you like the WP and icons! *hugs* Your icon is *adorable!!!! Why you make me lust like that??! I always want *all* your icons!

Beautiful wallpaper. When you say the grid, are you talking about the little lines in the background? I'd love to see the other version, too, if you've got it. I think this is one of my fave WPs so far.

Yep--those lines. This is what my desktop is--without.

That's beautiful! I love your graphics work. I saved both versions of the wp, but I like the nogrid best. Also saved a few of the icons. Will credit you when I use them. *hugs*

Thank you! The "no grid" is the one I'm using too. Seems a lot of people like that kind of thing--hence the extra brushwork. ;)

That wallpaper is amazing. I really like it and the matching icons. Especially #2, that one is striking.

Say Yes to the Dress

Apart by Viggo Mortensen

you found my keys
on an angel's hip
moved half the fallen trees
from the frozen road.

this trip is
all i thought
it would be
and we're not
even 1/2 way yet.

if i can't touch you
with snow-hung firs
our only witnesses
can't have your eyes
when everyone's asleep
then the fire's almost out.

you ask the un-named
attractions to leave town
but keep checking
it i'm still around.

should we sidestep
putting fingers to
words tracing lips that
would inform us?

once said i'd missed
you every instant
before we'd met.
now believe we knew
how sad we'd be
apart.
