Homemade Abstracts

Do you usually upload wallpaper images that you see on line? Try doing something different. It is very fulfilling to create your own designs. You will be truly amazed at what you can create with graphics arts tools!

This group celebrates the joy of making your own wallpaper designs with a program, such as SUMO Paint, The Gimp, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.

Using the SUMO Paint program is a great way to get started. You can try it for free on line. One of the best tools in it is the Gradient Tool. It is easy to use, and you can get beautiful results with it easily.

I made a couple hundred browser designs with SUMO Paint for free before I finally purchased it, so that I could use it off line also. I still use it for everything I make.

Whether you enjoy fractal patterns, kaleleidoscopic designs, interesting shapes, repeating patterns, or wild swirls of color, you will enjoy the walls displayed here. Be sure and add to them with your own creations!

Wallpaper Description:

Each year I like to create a few wallpapers using Autumn leaves and a kaleidoscope tool. I photograph leaves especially for this purpose.

Whenever I can, I leave recognizable leaves or leaf pieces in the design. This design has a lot of leaf like colors and textures in it, but once I spotted the "angels" in the design, I didn't want to alter it at all!

You can see the angels at the outer edges of the design, to the left and right. In fact, there is a dark brown arrow pointing at each one of them. They are pale beige or off white in color with slightly folded wings on either side of them. They each wear a very dark brown skirt. There's a light yellow peak above each of their heads also. :D

PS. The photo I used for this wallpaper had Sweetgum, Beech, Turkey Oak, Norway Maple, and Red Maple leaves in it, among others.

PPS. I made one other wallpaper from the same leaf photo that looks completely different from this one! Here's the link to it:
