Hello Friends!
Happy 09.23.20!
This day is Very Special, it marks "One Year" since I joined the Blockchain!
And folks, I am Very Happy to have found this "Social Media" network - "Community", and plan to stay for the long haul!
😉😊😉
To Celebrate this occasion I created this image that is Very Fitting for the occasion, I call
"Crystal Ball on the Table"
This image has an unbelievable amount of steps to it - "Really"! I will highlight some major changes at the end, and show I started with a screenshot of My stats at @hivebuzz. My mind changed along the way and I am Very Glad it did!
But first to the reason for this post itself,
My first year in the Blockchain.
Right up front I will admit I had no idea (and still probably don't) if what this was. I had traded some crypto, and I figured if I found a network that pays for engagement with crypto - it's a "Win-Win"!
So I had no idea about anything, how it works, apps to use, trading Steem (at the time), different front ends - nothing.
So I was extremely "Happy" at the "Friendship and Help" that I have found here, that without I would possibly still be somewhat lost.
I "Would" list names here, except at six months I did the same sort of thing and may have forgotten a few important people, and so I am not so willing to take that chance again… he he he!
Suffice it to say,
"If you have helped Me here in anyway, it has been more appreciated than You know". "The Caring, that I have been shown here I hope I return, and am planning to step that up a notch"!
I am "Thankful" You have welcomed Me into this Community!
😊🥰🤗🥰😊
Other notes after a year,
Ok, all My previous experience in "Social Media" were from "Insta…..". Which if you look fast at the feed - are similar. This is also where the similarities end.
Hive is like some gives you the keys to have access to a network. The rest is up to you, based on your engagement, and quality there of.
But, it's all your responsibility. All of it - from the show itself to presentation and promotion, and all that goes with that. It is much like playing a game that pays out.
Insta…. Can't compete with that. And there is also the mental stimulation.
And…
I wanted to save this for last…
Some "Really, Really" Awesome People, I would otherwise not know. To be honest, in one year I only met (posted a reply) one total idiot here. For My life that is an amazing batting average!
So upcoming….
I believe that the Artwork will slow down here, maybe 3-5 a week, quality not quantity - he he he! And going forward, I have an idea to "Write"! I wanted to do that a bit in the beginning - but the Art kinda took off so… But I believe I can do this a bit better now!
,😉
Also some Photography, as although I have gotten away from posting them here, I am still taking them!
BTW,
I started a site for photos, only 2 there now - but it will "Grow"! This is actually for purchasing items and licencing, give it a look from time to time:

A T-Shirt shop is currently under construction as well,
Any requests please comment below.
And Again,
"A Big Thanks & A Big Hug"
To Everyone - for making Me feel Welcome?
👍🏼🤗🐝😊🐝🤗👍🏼
Now as promised…
The "Screenshot to image"…
😉😊😁
The original Screenshot
Torus Mirror and Stretch
Text, Fractal Mirror, and color adjustment
This is where everything changed. I tested a Monochrome filter and liked the look. The image changed to Monochrome.
Then I put a Sphere over the image, adjusted lighting - contrast.
Added the Static Electricity, Smoothed image, Vignette and done!
Thank You Again for Viewing!!!
I Appreciate It!

I would have mentioned You, but like I said I tried that at the 6 month, forgot a few and I think alienated a few in the process..
Never meant to...
