Leaky Bucket Digital Update



Each week I get the privilege of whipping up something to use as a sermon title slide. I often only have a few hours to pull everything together so I have to take as many shortcuts as I can. They don't give me a budget for imagery so often I use things that are floating around in the creative commons copyright arena like the original image in the above sample. I added lots of added interest to what was already there, did some basic color correction and added textures and drips and such before thinking I had changed it enough to say that it was ok to use. My favorite part of this edit was drawing and shading the drips. it's been a while since I rendered water on a surface and it was fun, though quickly done. Wish I'd had more time to work on this... but I wish that most weeks. I just have to run with the first or second idea I come up with when doing these. I'm glad that the boss has allowed me to do whatever I want on these - and that he's approved the charges for the creative suite software that makes this kind of stuff possible.

Giving credit where credit is due - the base image of the leaky bucket is located at mi9.com

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
