Ok, so I've been inspired once again to take some of the archived photo efforts in my hard drives and turn a few of them into works of art. Literally. Hehe

Here's the end result of a few of them so far. Needless to say, there is always a great way to use those old photos using photoshop! :thumb

    #1 and #5 are my favs. #1 would make for a very interesting large stained-glass work.

    Cheers,

    those are pretty cool, do you care to post the before and after? I think some of those look like the originals were pretty outstanding themselves.
    Would love to hear from you on my blog, or website!

    Great work. Striking and beautiful. Could you share your technique? Say, pick one, and go through the process with us?

    Ok all, here's the big secret. It is actually all credited to one of my favorite plug-ins on Photoshop called "virtual painter"

    http://www.virtualpainter5.com/vp5index.html

    I discovered it a few years ago and recently bought v.5 of it and could not believe how well it translates certain styles of photos into works of art. I've got several photos that have had either image blur, details that did not come out correct etc, but turned out to be great pieces of work inside that program.

    Anyway, here's an example of a before and after with a few shots.
