stitching in photoshop

My friend in MATS 1 sent this out as a facebook post...i want to share it and save it....enjoy!!! 

If your scanner is too small for your piece, and you have access to Photoshop CS4 or newer, scan it in pieces, then open them in PS. Go to File>Automate>Photomerge (in CS6, at least; can't remember if it's exactly the same place in the previous versions). In the dialog box, leave it set on Auto (upper left), and make sure Blend Images Together is checked (bottom of middle section), then click Browse (upper right) to choose the files to make up the whole. Click OK, then sit for a few seconds while Photoshop dies the work. I've only had it do something weird on me once; you might want to rotate the files to orient then the same direction before doing this. It's pretty cool!

a modern whittler

to all of us "self-taughters"...i am always sucked in by the craft making of art...i like the physical act of smearing and rubbing, splashing and dabbing....this artist whittles...oh i'm sure the art galleries have a schmansy name for it...but i'm gonna call it like i see it...and i see it as current and timeless...someone getting their hands dirty and , in andy's case, even cut once in a while....when asks how he learned to work with wood his answer rings very dear to my heart "i ask furniture maker friends for advise..or i just bungle my way through"....now that's honest...no bullshit about training with "world acclaimed artist blah blah blah" or "i studied at the blah blah blah of the whittling academy"....nope...."i bungle my way through".....nice!
