Texture Play

Here are a few images from Oahu that I played with using Kim Klassen textures and Vinnie Pierce script grunge masks.

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful day!

Favourite Things

Inspired by the Inspiration Staycation, I have made a list of a few of my favourite things right now.

Smelling my son’s head.

Hearing my son laugh

Watching my husband hold my son.

Dark chocolate

Vanilla coffee misto

Quiet moments alone

Girl’s night

Songs that make me cry

Discovering a new favourite music act or artist

Walking through an art store looking at all the supplies

Downloading a new CD from iTunes

Pedicures

Really good hugs

Books

And here is another image playing with Kim's Extreme Grunge texture. Funny story behind this image: My husband and I had a fantastic date on Monday going to a Bard on the Beach performance of La Boheme. I have to mention that the UBC opera cast were all amazing! Anyway, during intermission I went over and sat at the edge of the stage to get this close up of the bass, and I got in trouble from an usher, who almost made me delete this image from my camera, because apparently any images of Bard performances are copywritten. But I made it back to my seat with the one photo I managed to snag, so here it is!

Have a beautiful day!

Texture Play

So here is another experimentation with Kim Klassen's tutorials.

I took this image, which was a craft project Gabe and I did one day. You drop food colouring into egg cartons filled with water and use an eye dropper to make a collage on the Ikea paper roll. I let it dry, then hung it in a sunny window to get this image:

Next, I opened up this image:

And then used an adjustment filter to invert the colour to look like this:

Then I followed the steps of Kim Klassen's Extreme Grunge tutorial, substituting the image above for her grunge texture. The result looks like this:

And that's what I played with today. Make sure you play today too!
