• Its all about the Eyes - A Tutorial
  by Sarah Moore

  I have had heaps of people ask me how I put together my Eye Series… !http://images-0.redbubble.com/img/art/size:small/view:main/81…

  I have had heaps of people ask me how I put together my Eye Series… So I thought I would let you all in on the secret… Desaturate… First of all I add a new layer in PS above the original and fill with black then change the blend mode to colour. To bring out the eyes… Add a mask to the black layer and with a small soft brush (set to black) delete the parts you want in colour. Using the lasso tool (with a small amount of feather say 5px) on the original layer select the eyes (hold down the shift key to select both eyes). Then apply the Unsharp Mask – play with the settings until you get the effect you want – don’t over sharpen or they will look weird. Then play with the saturation and contrast until you get exactly the colour you want. This effect only works really well with light eyes (brown eyes don’t come out as well) – BUT if you want to get really tricky you can apply a layer in between the black layer and original layer, then fill with a blue colour and change the blend mode to colour and hey presto a blue eye!! Butterflies… I change the colours of the butterflies to suit each image by going to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation and playing with the hue until I get the colour I want. Crocodile Tears… The eye in Crocodile Tears wascreated by finding a stock image of a crocodile and copying its eye and placing it under Ty’s eye, after erasing the area that was his eye! There was then lots of adjusting to get it to fit correctly and getting the colour right. Hope this makes sense – if there are any other questions feel free to bubblemail me!

• Happy Birthday to me...
  by Sarah Moore

  Happy Birthday to me / Happy Birthday to meeeeee / Happy Birthday to me / Hip Hip Hooray / Hip Hip Hooray / Hip Hip Hooray *I turn 34 today…

  Happy Birthday to me / Happy Birthday to meeeeee / Happy Birthday to me / Hip Hip Hooray / Hip Hip Hooray / Hip Hip Hooray I turn 34 today… This birthday was always going to be hard to celebrate without Axel…soooo my family pulled together and organised a massive event for me…a WHOLE weekend away of fun and frivolity at a gorgeous beach house on the north coast. As a family we are mad Life of Brian fans so the whole weekend was themed around Brian. The women wore beards – there was even an attempted stoning (no one was hurt), we watched the movie and even had a 1970’s script on hand for quoting! I received some gorgeous presents and most of all had a birthday I am NEVER going to forget. What YOU at RedBubblehave all given me for my birthday… 40,000 views! Butterfly Kisses on Page 3 of the all time most popular images AND too many friends to count… Thank you all so much Sare

• Shirtheads - featuring Liesl Yvette Wilson
  by caanan

  It’s not easy to pull off ‘sweet but sinister’... / Unless you’re Liesl Yvette Wilson that is….

  It’s not easy to pull off ‘sweet but sinister’... / Unless you’re Liesl Yvette Wilson that is. ;o) / This shirt in particular, and this one / / is what inspired me this week, but also the general scampiness of Liesl’s Tullulah. break out your evil grins folks, and smile with me ;o) So, what can you tell us about Tullulah? Is she based on anyone? What’s the story? What are the books you’re working on and when/where can we see them? Hmmmmm….Well as so often is the case, I don’t know where Tullulah came from, she kinda just showed up one day…she didn’t even bring any treats with her, not even a jar of Marmite, Tulluala’s really rude that way…at least Paddington brought his own suitcase. But no, she just landed on me…I’ve had to look after her ever since and it hasn’t been easy, cos she is such a little freak. Tullulah is a little bit me, a little bit my niece. I wrote a kid’s story called “Around the Corner and on the Left”, it was a quirky little piece about a kid that lived in a creepy house and was always fleeing from spooky things. My niece who was about five at the time, posed for the illustrations. She had her hair in bunches and it looked really cute. Much later when I was just tinkering around, with a simple character design for a grown-up fairy story, I worked from the basic illos of my niece…. And suddenly ‘T’ appeared. / There are quite a few stories featuring Tullulah, which is why she is so arrogant! The first to be printed is more for grandma and kiddies, unfortunately for all you ghouls out there. It is called a balloon and a bear. Printing is being organised and hopefully by the time my website is up and running, they will be ready to go! What were some of your favourite kids books growing up, and now? Wow, I have sooooo many fav books. As a very little kid I liked “Bread and Jam for Francis” and I have no idea who wrote that! I also loved Maurice Sendak ( Where the Wild Things Are.) Anything with beautiful illustrations, Richard Scarey etc. When I could read properly I loved “The Famous Five” and I still do…all that adventure and running unsupervised around the moors chased by circus people and jewel thieves, how could you not like it? What really influenced me was Alan Garner (“The Owl Service”,”Elidor”, “Red Shift”) I loved how weird it was and how not everything made sense, leaving you going “Hmmmmm, what was that about?”. What prompted the move from Aus to the UK? What are the differences? I moved here from Oz about five years ago…I had always wanted to try living in the UK and although it was really difficult, I’m glad that I have. It is a huge community of artistic people and it seems like everyone is an actor, writer, poet, singer. Amazing! I had sold work pretty consistently in Australia but it was usually wildlife photorealistic stuff and I couldn’t seem to break out of that with any real success, so I thought a move might just do that. If we took two cute furry animals, and cross bred them, which ones would they be, and what would we end up with? Well my absolute favourite animal is a ring-tailed lemur and I also love gliders, probably flying foxes would be the fav (yes I know they smell but so would you if you had to pee whilst hanging upside down! There is a bit of a design flaw there…) So I guess my little animal would be a lemur that could fly….how completely cool! How did you find the bubble? What made you join and stick around? Do you know what? I can’t remember how I found Red Bubble, I think I was just looking for artists and writer’s communities…I really don’t remember… What’s your favouritest tshirt you’ve ever worn? HmmmI don’t know about the fav shirt….I did have one that had a pig on it and it said…”Piggy Wiggy – Don’t eat me I’m a friendly animal!” I used to wear that to BBQs. What did you want to be when you were 6 years old? When I was six I wanted to be a writer…or a gymnastics instructor… What are you most proud of? I don’t know what I’m most proud of…I don’t really think that way…If I had to pick something I would say that I don’t give up easily. What are your minor and major goals right now? My major goals would be to sell Tullulah books online, and prove it can be done! I would love to work at my art and writing full time, but I am realistic about the possibilities of that – still every one needs a dream to motivate them! What do you think the world would be like if children were running things instead of the politicians? It depends how old the kids are…if they were all three year olds the world would be one big Baskin and Robbins! Better go buy some shares in sprinkles. Thanks Liesl! Don’t forget to come back next week, folks, for our next victim, but in the meantime, here’s some more art Liesl graciously supplied, just ‘cos I think it’s aces! :oD Caanan.

• From My Drawing Board/ Blue Butterfly - Signature affixed

  A couple of weeks ago I started a butterfly. The problem with this butterfly is that the only way I could see doing it was stippling! Now.. anyone out there that has EVER done stipple will sympathize with me and my eyes because this is going to be one helluva job! / Image #1 / / At any rate.. I started by using watercolor as my base. Did the background – to a degree – and did some of the coloring on the butterfly.. kind of “laying it out” for what was to come. Then I began the stippling.. / Image #2 / / As you can tell.. I’m just so speedy! / The layering of the assorted colors of the markers is beginning to show. I’m using 4 different blues, 3 different sizes of black, 4 or 5 greens and some red, purple, violet, orange, pink along with some yellow and of course white. / I’m using an “opaque” watercolor pen (just found this marvelous thing at the store the other day) which is helping to lighten up some of the areas that are to “blue”.. / We all make mistakes – the trick is in how we fix them! / Image #3 / / More layering happening. Even though I have 4 different sizes of black there are times that only the tiniest one will work and that’s what takes all the time. I’m trying to be smart and not rush this because – after the amount of work I’ve already put in – it would be awful to completely blow this! / Image #4 / / At this point the left wing is ALMOST done. The lower section has been darkened but the upper part still needs some work. Also the upper part of the right wing is getting more defined. One thing I will say about doing work like this.. you really do have to be patient because it is extremely time consuming for very little obvious progress. / Image #5 / / I think I’m going to be nice and just shut up because the changes are so subtle that you may not notice if I keep blathering.. / / Just so you know, the pictures are taken after a session at the board. Whether that lasts for 2 hours or 15 minutes – you get the results. / / And now I can finally say that I believe I’m done.. maybe. / I’ve added more green to the background and added a little more white to the areas that needed it. / / The signature is on and it is – for all intents and purposes.. complete today 05/20/2008.. until I start another.

Try to interpret the theme into your work as per your understanding. There are no hard rules! Here’s a little background into The Butterfly Effect from Wikipedia: / The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. So this is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position. The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly’s wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. As we always say… what the heck are you waiting for?

• *JESUS CALLED MY NAME*

  Jesus He called my name. / For all who are Christian, those who have been born again and received Jesus as lord and Saviour, there was a time when you heard Jesus Call your name. A time when you knew that The Lord loved you and wanted your heart. This is what I mean when I say He called my name. for those who have read my personal testimony, you will know that he called my name. When I was a chronic Alcoholic, gambler and one who practiced witchcraft. *. Due to the requests of friends I have met via Redbubble, I have decided to share with you, how the lord called me to serve him in Africa. A call to service. [As the Lord lives and is true and holy, I certify that what you are about to read is a true account of how Jesus called me into Missionary Service. This is still as fresh in my memory today as it was when this incredible event took place in my life] On Friday 26th August 1994, I was troubled in my spirit all day. I sat and watched Television and read a book, but yet I felt God wanted to speak to me, but I did not know what he wanted. So my wife said to me that I should just go to the park and pray. It was 6.05pm in the evening when I arrived at the park, and I parked my car and started to walk around the park. / I was walking and looking at the swans on the pond and praying at the same time. Then with not warning at all, I became aware that someone was walking close behind me. I did not look back, but knew someone was behind me. I continued walking along a narrow footpath and as I did I felt a person’s hand holding mine. There was no fear or indeed nay desire to look to see who this was that was holding my right hand. / It was very strange looking back now to why I did not want to see who it was. This would have been anyone’s reaction at the time. I felt warm and at peace, not knowing that It was *Jesus who was the one actually holding my hand. I was Praying in the Spirit [speaking to God in the gift of tongues]. Then Jesus said my name, Trevor. It was the softness and Love in his voice that caused me to look and as I say my Masters face, I knew that It was him. He did not need to tell me it was Jesus. When Jesus comes to you my friend, you won’t need any introduction or explanation, for you will know it is the King of kings that has called your name. In an instant tears my friend flowed down my face, and I was crying like I have never cried before. My emotions were overwhelmed with sadness and sorrow, because his eyes were filled with tears also and he was quietly weeping. Here was my Jesus holding my hand and he was crying. I could not understand why I was not jubilant with Joy. His sorrow pierced my very fibre of my being. By now, I was transported away from all consciousness of being in the park on a bright summer evening and we were in a dark place. The Only way I can describe this pace is to use a well as an example. Imagine a deep round stone well, empty, and you are at the bottom of it. It is very round and very wide. So can hardly see the other side of it, and you can just make out the huge stones that form the round sides of it. It’s dark at the bottom and you cannot see any light, except the light that emanates from Jesus Garments. This is how it seemed at that point. As I Gazed into his face, he spoke these words to me. / “Trevor, My Son, I want to show you something, do not be afraid my son for I am with you”. There was a short silence as these words took hold of me. He gently squeezed my hand and began to walk forward in this dark place. As we went forward, he was still weeping, and I could hear voices in the distance and different kinds of noises, like doors opening and closing, and A smell that I had never experienced before. I was crying as the Passion and sorrow of Jesus seemed to flow into my heart. It was so hard to carry such sadness and I have never experienced this before or after. Then I began to see people at my left side and all were chained to the walls and terrible sores were all over them, and all were shouting things at Jesus. I could not make out what they were saying, but Jesus was crying and weeping. The smell was terrible and there were some that when they say him cried as well. As we went forward the light that was so white lit up the side and a little ahead. The place was so big and wide I could not see the other ends. Then he again spoke to me “Trevor my Son, Do not be afraid”. I was scared, but his words just melted away any fears I had. We then came to a place where I saw am Casket alone and as we walked pass, a man spoke and said “Jesus, Why have you let me come here?. Jesus with tears answered him and said “Judgement has been set”. Again the man shouted at him and started to explain to Jesus that he was a pastor and that all his life he served Jesus and Preached and give to those in need. Jesus said again to him, “Judgement has been set”. All the time Jesus was weeping and I was looking at Jesus all the time, and I never did see te man, but knew he was a man, because of his voice. Again the man pleaded with Jesus and told him many other good things he had done and as he was talking, Jesus raised his other hand and stopped the man from speaking. Then Jesus said to the man, “ I sent you warnings, I sent messengers to warn you and you did not repent, for the woman you slept with was not the wife I had given you, and you died in your sins, therefore Judgement has been set”. Jesus was very sad, and began to lead me further into this dark and cold place. Then we came to another place like a very large open place with walls so thick and wide and there were like empty prison cells all around. One cell stacked upon another and I could not see where they ended, and they were so high. The Jesus knelt down on his knees and was now crying and I could feel his body shaking. All this time he was still holding my right hand. I stood beside him with tears flowing down my face and my heart was breaking with compassion and sadness for my Lovely Lord Jesus. I then knelt down beside him and wanted to hold him close, but I was so troubled to see My Lord cry like this. Then I asked him the only question I asked through all of this. “Lord, why are you crying, there is nobody here?. In what seemed like a long time we both cried and cried. Then still kneeling, Jesus looked deep into my eyes and said, / “This Place is prepared for all those who do not know my name”. / As I looked all around, I now could hear screams and fluttering wings and rustlings above our heads high above where we were. I saw in the darkness shadows of what I can only describe as winged demons, hellish beings flying about. Jesus was weeping so hard and as he stood up, I was still on my knees. He looked into my face and said to me “My Son, Go to Africa, to the villages and proclaim my name among the people, Go tell them who I am and that I love them, and I will be with you each step you take” Then Again suddenly, as if no time passed, I was back in the park. The first thing I became aware of was that I could not feel his hand in mine. I cried and begged him to come back again, and I remember saying Lord there is so much I want to ask you. The Holy Spirit then opened the eyes of my understanding and I realised that God had allowed me to have a vision where Jesus came and called my name. Where he had appeared to me and called me for service. I was deeply shaken and all they way back to my car, I was worshipping my lord in tongues [heavenly Language]. How I drove home, I do not know, and as I told my wife and we both just praised God and give thanks. I told my pastor the following day Saturday 27th August 1994, and the response are you sure it was Jesus. I was upset and few in the church the following day had any encouragement. So On Monday 27th August 1994 I went to my local travel agent and asked how much a ticket would be for Uganda. As a boy in School we had a visiting teacher from Uganda. I marvelled at the little round huts they lived in and the photographs she showed us was amazing. So I settled it that Uganda was the place God wanted me to go. The ticket was £530.00. I had no money so I sold my car. I was determined to get to where Jesus sent me and do what he told me to do. All this time and even now. I still see my Lord and the love in his beautiful eyes. Yes I still cry and know someday I will be with him forever. I Got the exact money from the sale of my car. It was then that the Church saw that I was committed to following my lords Commission. A Little money came in and I went to Africa on Saturday 24th September 1994. I arrived in a country where I knew nobody. I asked the taxi driver at Entebbe airport to take to a Christian Guesthouse. He took me to marimba Guest house. That evening as I lay alone in my little room, a house girl knocked my door. She asked if I would like to attend a church. I was so happy. The following Day I who knew nobody was preaching to a Church of Over 2000 people. That evening I was speaking at Chief of Police Wedding anniversary, and in that audience were Government officials, and others. The following week I was given a small house to live in free of charge, a Vehicle and driver, and the mission to extreme poo and isolated villages was born. Since that time I have dedicated my whole life to Preaching the Gospel in remote areas of Africa, South India and have never had a salary. I have trusted and depended on God to meet my needs and that of my family. There have been and still are difficulties in rising the cost of Travel, But God always blesses me with Good people whom he has given a passion and heart to pray for these precious children and to sow financially into his work. This is how the Lord called me to service. I pray It will bless and inspire you. Thank you to all who have asked me how God called me to be a missionary without having a job to fund it. * [COMMON ENGLISH BIBLE] Even before I was born, the LORD God chose me to serve him and to lead back the people So the LORD has honoured me and made me strong.

  Greetings my precious Brothers and Sisters in Christ. / I am touched by the way the Holy Ghost has filled your heart and led you to intercede and pray for me and the Mission in Rural and Isolated villages in Africa. / I perceive you are brethren who knows who you are in Christ, and the power you have received and now lives in you. You like me, know that the Lord God lives in us. Zoë [Greek for Life of God] We are born again, Holy Ghost Baptised and we know that whatsoever we bind on earth, is bind in heaven, as is what we loose on earth is loosed in heaven. When we pray, we don’t beg God, because we both know that / (1Co 3:21) all things are yours. (2Co 4:7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the Excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. / We cannot ever lack. Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is our Shepherd, we shall not want”. We bind the devils, Cast them Out, Pull down satanic strongholds!!!. Praise God. Mark 16:15-18. You and I are Kings and Priests, Now, not in the world to come. / (Rev 1:6) * And *hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Kings don’t beg. That’s why many Christians live all of their life praying and not receiving what The Lord has already made ours. They do not understand when Jesus Cried out on the Cross, It is finished that he not only paid the price for our sins, and the beating at the whipping post so we can live disease free!. Not only did he do this, but because of this great work, God has adopted us now through his son, and made us Heirs, Joint heirs, Equal with Christ. / * And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Now beloved, we as his sons and daughters have be brought into our Fathers Inheritance. *All that belongs to our Father is now ours through Jesus Christ. We have God given rights to enjoy all his wealth today, NOW, in this world. That Is why my Friend, I value your Prayers, and I know that You pray with The spirit and with Understanding. You are a real part of the Lords work in tunga/Zuga and Ungwa/fada villages in remote Nigeria. You are part of the October Mission to reach the Lots and needy, To heal the sick, raise the dead, and to help the suffering and extreme poor. You are part of putting Cloths on their bodies, food in their bellies and clean water for them to drink! You may not have money to make a donation towards the Mission, or for whatever reason you won’t sow a seed into the Lords work. But your prayers are vital. I would rather have 10 anointed people who, KNOW WHO THEY ARE IN CHRIST, WHO KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE IN CHRIST AND KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO IN CHRIST, THAN 10.000 WHO PRAY AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO RECEIVE ANSWERS. So if you sow a financial seed or not, you will be blessed because you pray for his minsiters, his work and the poor. You are part of te Lords work. Job 22:30. [Amplified Bible] i WILL CHANGE ALL THOSE FOR WHOM YOU INTERCEDE”. Please Pray. I have several needs that I wouod like you to pray towards. 1*. Finance. We need *£1,500 – $3,000 for Medicines to treat Intestinal worms, Skin disorders and multivitamins to treat the effects of Gross Malnutrition in both Children and adults. This will be enough, as we will have the Tractor and machinery running in late February-Early March. This will enable them to grow good quality food, and thus eliminate many diseases and sicknesses, as their immune systems will become strong. 2* The kambari Tribe, Faluni [Muslim] and others. the Lord has indeed blessed me with His Grace and Favour, in winning souls from all tribes to Christ, Even three witch doctors] yet many are still in darkness. Please pray that God our Father will draw many more to Jesus his son on this Octobers Mission. 3* That I will walk and live in the fullness of God and his power. 4* That God will continue to build an army of Spirit filled people, with a heart of Love and Compassion for the poor, both physically and Spiritually. Add to me and Philadelphia Mission people that know how to sow, Pray and make a real impact in reaching the poor with his gospel, and to work towards meeting their needs. Please pray also according to what the Holy Spirit and Gods word reveals to you. Please feel free to contact me anytime. You can do this by the following: Email: irwin141@msn.com. / trevor@philadelphia33.org / Website: www.philadelphia33.org. or bubblemail. (Deu 1:11)* (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) Trevor

  Greetings precious Friends. I am so excited and blessed, so this is just an update, as I must share what the Lord is doing. Over the last 2 weeks god has and is building an army of precious people like you who are moved and led by his Holy Spirit to Pray for me, the October Mission and the extreme poor and sick villagers in Africa. God hears you and is answering your Prayers. Praise God!. Bubblemails are coming in fast and I am deeply humbled by those who have said they are praying for me na dthe work of our Lord. One sister touched me so much. She explained that she was crying as she looked at the Photographs of the hungry and suffering people the Lord has called me to help. Then she said and I Quite: I have no money to sow into this work, as I am poor, But I will Pray that The Lord will bless you with many who has and that all the money needed will be provided, I know My Lord and He always anserd my Prayers”. Sister the Lord will Prosper you as you intercede for me and the poor. Another Sister wrote and said she to is deeply touched by the lord as she looks at the Photographs, and explained that her two sons and her Son in law are Doctors. She asked me if It was better to donate drugs for treatment, or to make a financial donation. I explained that It was much better to make a donation, as we can purchase the drugs cheaply in Abuja. Also we have had real problems with customs and government when we had a shippment sent out before. corruption and greed took almost half our supply. So We now purchase them from aChristian Pharmacy in Abuja. A Brother from New york has just made a donation of $5000 towards the Tractor. Praise God. A sister has mad e several donations over the past two months. GOD IS HEARING AND ANSWERING YOUR PRAYERS. We have has challanges with muslim extremists and our small mission centre was attacked last Friday. our Staff were very frightened. But God stepped in. Our Muslim Neigbours and new converts beat them away and that evening around 100 Muslims joined our evening prayer service!!!! I am invited to meet the emran and other leaders when I attend in October. last Time many were saved and many were healed, including a 2 year old girl, dying from Malaria. Keep on praying and sowing seed into this mighty work of God. I thank you for your support, Finance and Prayers. Please Please Please, do not feel bad if you cannot sow a financial seed into the mission. God see’s and understands. He will meet your needs and you will see for yourself, that you will have a great supernatural Provision from the hand of God. I love you all and wish I could give you all a big Hug and a Holy Kiss. Your broter in Christ and Friend. Trevor. Mission Website: / http://www.philadelphia33.org/
