Pretend art and other things celebrating my weirdness, I mean uniqueness

One week ago...
Am also taking a Photoshop class to help get me more familiar with my PS Elements software. I usually only use it to crop and tweak the colors.
Here is my before and after picture using a technique reminiscent of something called the Orton Effect (originally with film). It's supposed to give it a dreamy effect. Can you tell the difference?
Am also traveling vicariously through my friend, Kelly, who is in Germany right now. You can go to her blog here.

SNOW PUPPY - SNOW PUPPY - SNOW PUPPY!
I really miss my puppy.
I can see the dreamy effect in the picture, but a larger picture would make it easier to see the effect.
A really good pot is in the details. --Doug Casebeer at the Ceramics Workshop in Jamaica '10
There's only one way to grow while making art: take risks and allow yourself to make a lot of bad work, then look at it. I consider what is working well, what missed the mark or confused the reading, what needs to be adjusted on the next one. --Linda Arbuckle in The Penland Book of Ceramics
All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Almost all photos are my property (even the bad ones). Please ask if you would like to copy them. Don't think anyone would, but just in case please ask. Thanks!
