I don't know if this is of interest but Here is a really large (4608 x 3456 @ 300 dpi) image of some holly should anybody need some for projects. I know it doesn't grow everywhere but it grows here. It's a 9 meg file, which exceeds the size allowed here so I put it on my site.

I am sure to find use for this. Thank you.

Thank you Gms, that looks very healthy, the birds will like that.

Molly - I just woke up and grabbed a cup of coffee and logged on to GC. The first thing I noticed was your sig. That is too funny/cute. You'll make Graechan proud!

Thank you Drac...Graechan rocks...

Holly is one of my favorite things. Thanks Gms!

snatched it. thank you for sharing, holly can always come in useful. actually, i live in the only part of sweden where it can grow wild - not that i've ever seen it.

Thanks GMS. Thought I would share a stitch with you all. I did use my custom Impressionist setting and Impressionist itself in GIMP (so only partially feel guilty; lol).

lylejk: looks nice! i think that would look good with photo comix metallic grains filter too, did you by any chance try that?

Just tried AnMal; other then brightening the canvas to mid-gray, I do like the overall result and it did seam to add dimention. Maybe some masking tricks for diminishing the gray canvas issue would be the way. Thanks for the idea.

I haven't tried any fun stuff with it yet, but as usual you got me inspired.
