Artsy Caturday with Marv!

 Boy oh Boy! It's my turn to star on Artsy Caturday! We LOVE to pawticipate with all the other peoples and pets and see their fabulisious creations. Once again we are going to take a so-so picture and try to turn it into something special. 

Earlier this week Mom was going through some old memory sticks and she found some old bookmarks. Some of these were for graphic sites that we used back when Queen Penelope had her blog. One of the ones we checked out today is Picture to People. (http://www.picturetopeople.org)

We got lost there for a few hours...first we made our names in fur

Then we tried some of the Photo Effects on this so-so photo

Here I am using one of the pencil crayon effects (#5)

 
And here I am in the Photo Typographic Effect (#1 changing the Font to Big)


We are going to explore a little further here as Mom is looking for a good stencil maker or something that will help her make an embroidery pattern. If you know of one, let us know! 
Now here is the button for Artsy Caturday at Marie and Athena's blog. Click it to see their art (Marie does some exquisite work) and all the other pawticipants!
 

 
And here are the links to the Jigsaw puzzles

Thanks for stopping by! We love it when you drop in!

I have never heard of Picture to People, and just checked it out and saved it to favourites to have fun with later.
The art is great, and your name in fur, Marv. Thanks for the puzzles too.

Oh you know I have bookmarked that site to have a play with now!!! In return, regarding stencils... is this the sort of thing you need? I like that they state What happens to the uploaded images? The images that are both uploaded and the created stencils are stored in a temporary location. A cleanup operation deletes all files approximately every 30 minutes. I really like that pencil sketch of you Marv!!! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

I'm not sure if I can do artwork like your mom. Lynn is a great mom but she is like me. Not a techie person. Beautiful pictures, Precious.

Marv your name in fur is quite clever!! Yay Mom and I especially like your artsy photo with letters on it.
Happy Saturday

Wow! Thanks so much Marv. We already started playing around, well, the guy with thumbs did, so hard to hit space without them. Love your art

Tres cool! I've used that site a long time ago too. Mine never looked that cool. We were looking for an embroidery effect once too for art and a font. Not sure if we found it but will share if I find it.

How neat to be able to do such fun things with photos. Not within my talent spectrum, but i do enjoy seeing what others do.
