Congratulations on your fine family. May all of you sail through their teen years

Thanks for the info. I'll try it first thing after my morning coffee tomorrow. (At the moment I'm pretty wiped out after a tiring outing. )

It's beyond my skill level

Maybe one of the more talented folks can work it up for ya. Sorry

Not to worry, Chiten. Thanks for trying. Much appreciated.

Here is what I came up with. as you notice the eagles eye is so small it is hard to tell what it is. I lined the goat shape up with the contours of the land mass and tried to make it look like a topographical map. I didn't know what type of necklace you wanted so I used a ribbon with a sun cycle pattern. Let us know if you would like it altered.

That was definitely a hard one to work with! Great job Agarta!

Here are the ones I was unsuccessful with. I made the goat head and used the color to alpha option under "Layer", then on the second one, I erased parts of it. They just didn't come out the way I wanted

Great Job guys.....this was a tricky request...so far he seems to be sticking with his first image, which might be a good instinct, the image was already interesting...perhaps the background might be a fun place to play with since the main image is basically white? I don't know?....Just a thought.....

Sooo, I know as usual I'm "off -topic" but I would like to ask your guys opinions and/or ideas about a project I have coming up. I am going to be decorating a Christmas tree for a charity event that will occur right after Thanksgiving.....I made $4000 last year for our charity, and I have a sponser again this year.

The tree will be 6' tall, artifical...ugh I know, but these are auctioned off to buisness's and wealthy people at a very "fancy" event...lol...I was sooo under dressed last year....the little black dress didn't quite cut it, but not my style to wear gowns... anyways...the theme this year is "Bubbles and Baubles".....and I have two very different ideas, and would love some feedback, or new ideas.....

My first thought is to go all white with lots of clear bulbs and and diamond looking rinestone ornaments, with a great ribbon to fill in......I have a floral design background, so I know I could pull off a beautiful, impressive tree going that route...but may be too simple and unpredictable...although sometimes simple is beautiful?

My other thought is to go VERY colorful, use old vintage jewerly clip on earrings, which I have alot of all ready, and know you can pick this stuff up pretty affordably...I would still use white lights, and glass balls, and a more colorful ribbon...I saw some beautiful stuff at the fabric store the other day when looking for inspiration.....very colorful and sparkly.

For the "star" on either tree I imagine making it out of clears balls and actually inserting lights within the bulbs, and finishing it off with what ever ribbon is used, lol, will also hide the glue gun marks and "flaws....:

Any Ideas or thoughts?....

reply to post by MountainLaurel


I like the simplistic idea
...or bubble gum and candy jewlery, that would be cool too

reply to post by PurpleChiten


Thank-You Purple One....I know the more simple white tree would be popular, less risky....I love the twist on bubble gum and candy jewerly....that might be a fun way to to decorate under the tree....hmmm?

Sublime is definitely your connection to anything nautical! I'll leave it to him, he's very good

What might you have in mind? Something retaining your present avatar or something similar? Or perhaps something new and different?

We have some great folks here and if you can describe it, chances are, they can definitely come up with something for you

If you don't have anything particular in mind, just give some details about what you like and I'm sure they can surprise and satisfy your desires

I remember helping you with getting that avatar to the right size when you were new. Ready for something new huh?

Here's what I found with a quick search.

reply to post by FortAnthem



Those are nice!!! My favorite is the lower right

This is what the name made me think of, but yours are really cool!!


used as a background image and a transparent image as the avatar. Same with FortAnthems (I really like that lower right one! )
.......begin transparent

....end transparent

reply to post by PurpleChiten


YES YOU did help me Fort!! Thank you.

Yes i like the bottom right the best also, its colorful. I also like the actual Midnightsunshine you posted Chit, very me, purple and everything..... thanks


How do i do it, i mean, make it transparent?

reply to post by think1mreal


What kind of nautical style are you looking for? Like nature, or ships and man made, or even crypto style (like mermaids and fantasy stuff)?

I'll have a squizz online for some random stuff shortly.

These images are all soo beautiful, and perhaps would be cool backgrounds for AboutFace's original avatar, possibly transition from the outer blue portions of the main image into a tourqoise, then to blue.......would be a bummer to cover up goddness or tunnel, but those are beautiful backgrounds, and seem fitting for Greenland, maybe?

Here's avatar basics 101. Always happy to help out.

Firstly, if you haven't already, save the image to your computer, and go to TOOLS+ at the top of the screen. When it loads directly under it should be "ATS uploads." Upload the image first.

Copy and paste this link into your avatar secondly under the avatars box, here




h ttp://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/pu4ffdf498.gif

Be sure to remove the space between the ‘h’ and the ‘t’ before using it. It is an invisible gif.
Once it is in place hit submit.

Then click on your newly uploaded avatar, it should come up with a screen like this;



Click on the link the arrow is pointing to that say 'use as profile background.'
It should come up with a screen that looks like this;



Just click submit and you should have a full sized image with an invisible image in front that fills out the space perfectly.
