use your wings

Kim Klassen's challenge was to use her image and texture in your own way. I cropped and lightened the image, added the texture at multiply, 45%, then added stamps, text, and a frame.

I've been in love with love....

LeAnne, of Photos by LeAnne, thought up this great idea of sharing an image and tying it to a song. I'm always up for finding new music, so jumped on this one. I love exploring San Francisco and capturing moments, so I printed this bridge shot on a vintage postcard which I painted with white acrylic and a digital ground by Golden. The song that I've connected with this image is San Francisco by Mowgli's. My favorite line in the song: "I've been in love with love and the idea of something binding us together...."

November colors

More play with the iPhone apps for processing. I'm loving the possibilities when processing with multiple apps. For this image, I started in Squaready, then used filters in 100Cameras, and finished in Snapseed. I like the painterly quality you can achieve with cross-processing - the play is endless.

roses

These lovely roses were in a clear glass vase on an off-white tablecloth. I shot from above to eliminate the conflicting surroundings and to capture the light that was cast on the table after going through the glass. The first layer I applied, French Kiss Peach Coral, was for color. The script is decorative paper that I scanned and tinted.
