Amy writes:

Have you ever wanted to make a rubber stamp from a digital image or text? It’s easy to mimic the look of a rubber stamp using your inkjet printer. Simply print your image or text onto a smooth, non-absorbent paper and transfer onto a receiving surface while the ink is still wet.

Newly launched is Adobe Photoshop Express, a free web application that you can sign up for and get 2 gigs of space to edit and share your photos to your hearts desire. Every demo seemed to have a photo of a dog, so I decided to try out the application with a little doggie dear to my heart, little Lulu. If Photoshop intimidated you before, don't worry with Photoshop Express. The interface is clear and really easy to use. All the function buttons are in a left-hand side bar and you can do all the basics, crop, color correct, remove red-eye, touchup and more. I love playing around with the some of the fun effects like Pop Color. Who knew I could dye Lulu's hair blue in an instant? The application also links into Facebook, Photobucket, and Picasa. You'll also love the speed too. For manipulating a high-res photo, I found the whole application to run pretty fast. One last thing, I will point out is make sure you read the disclaimer well before you sign up and agree to the terms. Agreeing to the service gives Adobe worldwide rights to your photos/content now and in the future. If you're ok with that, then go for it!

This week's CRAFT Video Podcast is the first in a two part series on how to make intarsia/stranded knitting pattern from an image in Photoshop. We'll go from an old skeleton illustration to a gridded knitting pattern for personalizing your own Skeleton Cardigan.

Next Friday in Part 2, I'll show you how to work from the pattern to make the back panel of the Skeleton Cardigan!

Sara of The Fabric of Meditation created her own toile using image transfers and her own photos via Photoshop.

Sara writes:

This was real fun. If you look at the picture I have used photos of all this: my farm, the landscape you see through the kitchen window, my mother and uncle, one grandson, some textile works of mine, our old dog, a terrace decoration, mixed up with some Dover archives illustrations.

I used to write all the time as a kid and practice my handwriting over and over. These days, I'm lucky if I can read my own chicken scratch. Thank you to Jessica at How About Orange for pointing us to Fontifier. a site that can convert your handwriting into a font for just $9. Try it with your kid's writing or have grandma with that excellent penmanship take a whirl at it. Seems like a more personal way to create fonts to use in your design, photos, or craft projects.
