Texture Tuesday - Oh My

Oh My texture by Kim Klassen added to a shot of a drying rose

1 Photo - 3 Different Ways - Beyond Layers

Assignment to take one photo and do three different treatments to achieve different images.  Had to make my own frame template as my photos were oblong and not square but I think it works ok.

Textures by Kim Klassen added were 'adstract', 'cool grunge' and 'framed'.  

 

Texture Tuesday - Free & Easy

It begins with YOU - self-portrait - Beyond Layers

Turned the lens on myself and worked on a few so here is the result

It is scary stuff!

You Are Already Amazing - Beyond Layers

This was a real challenge for me to take a self-portrait and to look for the beauty that is not in apperance but in the very substance of our being -  in our inner self.

People mostly judge us by how we look but the thing that really matters is how we live our life and how we treat others.

I took this at work on what is my 57th Birthday.  I did alot of thinking about the past today and look forward to embracing the future

I took the shot in instagram on the iphone and added the texture 'happy heart' by Kim Klassen.

I added a gaussian blur and masked from the eye area to emphasis that our eyes are the windows to our soul

Texture Tuesday - The Little Things Edition

Baby's Breath with Kim Klassen's 'little things' texture added

Had another go at the pastel challenge with Kim Klassen's 'now' texture

Beyond Layers I - Pastel

This week we were asked by KIm to create a vintage pastel effect and to finish off with a subtle frame.

Kim Klassen texture 'now' used on this image of the spring wild flower known as the cuckoo flower

If not now, then when?

Flights booked

Texture used was 'history' and new brush gift from Kim Klassen

Texture Tuesday - Soft

Worked on two different images to represent my interpretation of this Tuesdays prompt - soft

Used Kim Klassen's texture Sienna

Send me love that's soft
Let me know a love that's soft
Softer than a cloud
Or roses moist with rain
A child's gentle kiss
Make his love soft like this
And send me love that's warm

Let me know a love that's warm
Warmer than the sun
And sips of brandy wine
The white coals of a fire
So warm I'll never tire
Of how he touches me
