UPDATE - JAN 2009:
This image is by far my most popular. I decided it would be worthwhile to do an update. Instead of 36 images, I've researched and found 36 distinct individuals and texture sets. Hope you enjoy the new mosaic as much as the first one!

I spent about 2 hrs last night searching for textures on Flickr I could use in Photoshop for adjustment layers. Here are my favorite 36 textures, all with Creative Commons Licenses (yay for sharing).

For a veritable treasure trove of textures, I'd recommend checking out:
kevinzim's texture set
yourbartender's texture set
Mayang's Free Texture Library

Created with fd's Flickr Toys.

    These are excellent. Can you tell me how to use these. They look cool in the examples I have seen but I am not sure how to use them.

    I really like the textures!
    But how do I download them??

    Hi Saima - click on the link to go to the texture in question, then click on the Actions button above the picture and select the "view all sizes". Once there, select the size of the image you wish to download (original is generally best) and then download via the link. Hope that helps!
