DDecker Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 This month lets talk brushes. How to create them, how to save them and all the different ways to use them. What day/time works for the chat? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bride Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I work 9-5 Mon through Thurs. On vacation 8/9 through 8/17 ... does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixyA Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My schedule is all over the place-- as evidenced by the fact I haven't made a single chat. But, I love reading the threads with all the tips and hints and stuff. If I can make it to chat, I will gladly. But, I wouldn't want to hazard a guess as to when would be a good time in my schedule.

Sarah in VA Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Oh boy! Brushes sound fun! Daytimes are usually better for me than evenings, and usually any day except Monday. But if I can't make the chat (like the last one!) I will look for and enjoy the transcript! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheilaj Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I can't make the chat either as we are remodelling but will look forward to the transcript....does anyone have any pre chat things to suggest? that worked well with the blending layers thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyScrapper Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 As you know Dee, your evenings are my mornings and hectic mornings at that, usually! It's unlikely I'd make the chat BUT I'm so glad you're doing brushes this month. I can't do anything very good with brushes, I don't feel like I know what I'm doing with them at all. I kind of think of them like rubber-stamps, but have never used much rubber-stamping even in my paper albums, except for alphas, so I really don't know how to make the most of them. So as far as having anything to suggest - anything and everything that's cool using brushes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixyA Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The general excitement over brushes perplexes me. I can see some basic uses for brushes (using as a gentle eraser tool), but for the most part, I really don't see the thrill everyone gets from them. I have to admit, though, that I have a frayed fabric edge brush that I absolutely love. I use this one a lot. But, the brushes that have wordart on them and others seem very "one time only" to me and I don't see the benefit. Understanding brushes saved me during the "Mischief Week 2008 Mess or Masterpiece??" crop. One of the elements that I got stuck with was the ugliest element I've ever seen. I made it into a brush and it worked out really well. Since the Mess or Masterpiece crop, I've never used the brush again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bride Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ohhhh, I use brushes quite a bit. For me they add an extra flourish here or there to accent a corner or bring the eye to a part of the LO that you want to subtly focused upon. And there are so many to choose … from over all grunge to little wisps here and there. I love the fact that the sky is the limit on colors too!

sheilaj Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I wonder about using the more elaborate brushes as "cookie cutters" to erase through to a level below....might get to play today..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGirl Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm hoping you conduct the August Brush chat before Aug. 21. I'll be out of town for a few days (Aug. 21-24) and would hate to miss it. GatorGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bride Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ok ... here we are in September ... did I miss the August chat on brushes?? Has the September topic been announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah in VA Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 No Bride, I don't think you misssed it. If you did, I did too ;-) We were traveling the last two weeks of August and I didn't get to check in as much as I would have liked, but I don't believe I saw anything about it. I was mainly just reading the Newsletters and looking for it to be announced with the other chats there, but didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
