Short

Seems like my pencils are always coming up short! (Once again processing saves the day!)
Nice processing

Looks like pencils at my house! Nice processing, Ann. What (site) do you use for processing!

@karenann Thank you Karenann- I use Picnik. There is a free version which is very basic and a premium version which has lots of variations such as this one. I think it was 19.95 or so for a year- well worth the price as far as I'm concerned. I especially love putting the frames around my pictures- makes them look so polished!

@olivetreeann Thank-you, Ann. I use their free version . . now I know what the premium version does! Neat!

Great treatment. Is it posterize? Also like your word play on coming up short.

As a teacher, I can't stand broken and short pencils..great perspective!

@karenann You're welcome Pam- it's definitely worth it.
@allie912 Thanks Allison- yes- it's posterize with all the colors and a shadow frame combined with a border frame. I liked the retro look when I did it this way. Haha- glad you liked the pun too.
@httpgeffed I know what you mean Colleen! Thanks!

@daveanajao Thanks David- I was struggling to come up with a photo for this. I couldn't thinnk of anything else that was easily available. It was so boring though that I had to resort to processingl! Thanks also for the follow!!

Nice idea for this S and fantastic processing :) I'm loving our little supportive challenge group :)
August 21st, 2011  
Cool idea, and it does give it a neat look

@alia_801 Thanks Alia- do you know how many are actually doing this? I know of you, myself and Richard Ogley. Then I saw David on a couple of your comments and linked up with him. Any more I don't know about? Yes- it's been fun seeing how each of us has either come at a word so differently or we've helped each other out with a solution creatively. I really look forward to everyone's comments!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- once again, processing saves the day! It helped make the colors more interesting and gave the overall picture texture and interest.

@olivetreeann As far as I know it's the four of us at the moment. (I checked out the tags and we're the only ones who pop up). I think a few people are going to do it for September so we can see how they go :)

@alia_801 We are such trailblazers!!

Very retro-like, nice processing!

@photobutton Thank you PhotoButton- I liked the retro coloring too.

@emilymarieley Thank you so much for the view and comment Emily! I really appreciate it.

what a cool subject! Pencils and I have a love hate relationship! I really like this pic.

@crickle1969 Thanks Crickle! Glad you like it. And a love/hate relationship with pencils? Hmmmm-very intriguing statement!

@olivetreeann being a teacher I have to deal with pencils and pencil issues all day every day. We need them and they do make life easier, but the quality of them anymore is horrible and I've thrown so many away just because they will not sharpen. It can be frustrating. ;-)
August 26th, 2011  
@crickle1969 Ohhh- I see- I was just teasing a little bit but yes, that would be very frustrating to keep throwing things out because of their inferior quality.
