I love how you processed this, Sami; the words are literally flowing from the books! :)

On GIMP 'Polar coordinate' tool one can choose not to select the round effect but kind of "twisted one" =D Then there's an interesting option for 'Offset angle': docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-polar-coords.html

Happy!! It's a rainbow of books Sami. I think I see a Richard Scarry book in there? :)

(Curious about your title.)

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Karen's Place club
Yes, there is one book by RIchard Scarry =)

The title refers to the ancient library of Alexandria. Bookworms like me are often kind of hoarders, trying to collect every damn book we see. Then we fill our walls with objects we may not ever again use (read). Like we try to collect our personal "Library of Alexandria". I have lately tried switching to electronic books...

I've never heard of this "Library of Alexandria" Sami. Thank you.

(I wouldn't know anything about collecting things. ;)

I really like photos that look good and make me wonder how they were done. Very creative and colorful.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Esther club
With this =) docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-polar-coords.html

There is option not to make a circular distortion but sort of arch image instead. Then just playing with layers gives the final touch.
