Well, we as a group have certainly covered the blacksmith's trade for this theme. A beautifully composed and presented image here, Mike, of the man at work. #8698757

Thanks for all of the very kind comments! The "grunge" effect is still a challenge for me. It is a different "journey" each time I attempt it. :-) Mike #8705272

Nikki McDonald level-classic June 19, 2010

I like the effects a lot here, Mike -- and don't expect the journey to ever be the same twice when you're experimenting with textures and brushes. That's half the fun. #8705525

Michael Umbreit July 04, 2010

Nikki - Thanks for the wise words. I have enjoyed the textures but I haven't even gotten into the brushes yet. There is always more to learn. :-) Mike #8734859
