The Sad Demise of Ophelia


The Sad Demise of Ophelia, originally uploaded by SkeletalMess.
A possible historical source for Ophelia was Katherine Hamlet, a woman who fell into the Avon River and died in December 1579. Though it was eventually concluded that she had overbalanced while carrying some heavy pails, rumours that she was suffering from a broken heart were considered plausible enough for an inquest to be conducted into whether her death was a suicide. It is possible that Shakespeare - 16 at the time of the death - recalled the romantic tragedy in his creation of the character of Ophelia.

Here's a new brush pack for adding a grunge border around images.
Made in Photoshop 7, so they should work in all versions since 7.
I've got PS Elements 4 and they work fine in it, other versions I'm not
sure of, I would appreciate some feedback from other users using other
versions of Elements, nice to know about compatibility issues.
