Something for the romantic spirit

Ah, the wonderful English summer. As I am sure you are all aware for the past several months the weather as been, to put it mildy, quite awfull.

 On my reckoning it has only been dry every 3rd day and I feel rather unseasonal posting summer fashion as in my opinion we would be more apt to prepare for the Life Aquatic but this piece is rather multi seasonal so that is alright

Photo Editing

You know when you discover a new tool on your editing software and use it on a load of pics? well I have been doing the same with some of mine. It a tool called 'Comic book' from Picasa and I adore the effect that it produces.

Its sort of like a watercolour/glass effect that varies with each image used.

I tried it with a photograph of myself and I ended up looking rather like a Mucha Maiden
