Â Right now, I’m either half or three-quarters of the graphic design team for our congregation so this is of interest to me.
One of the many, many packages of textures that caught my eye was smoke. Â I downloaded the images and mucked about with them for a while in the GIMP and this was the result:

Tutorial of sorts follows.

As a result of The Purge a while ago, my bookshelves look, if not sparse, at least well kept. Â There is a general lack of untidiness in the bookal regions of the house and I am digging it. Â In order to keep it this way, we’ve decided to make as much use of the library as we possibly can.
