Texture Tuesday and I love a good fake!

I just loved the texture Kim sent this week that I had to give it a go.

Please check out her blog  and the other participants for more texture art.

I had a little more fun with them then just adding the texture.

While looking at my email from Miss Martha( Martha Stewart)

I spied a beaded flower tutorial.

I thought

ahhh I can make that???

of course I had no idea what they were talking about.

I even read the instructions to George who was equally puzzled.

( don’t really think he was listening)

Maybe you can understand it better then me

HERE

see ….pretty!

So I turned to my friends at Youtube!!!

and did eventually figure out what they were trying to teach me.

I need visual ad! don’t you?

Anyways, then I decided to look for instructions on Photoshop just for the heck of it,

one thing just leads to the next!

and found this video on faking depth of field.

I love me a half blurry pic!

Did you already know how to do this?

I’ll admit it seemed easy at first but I kept messing it up.

The examples I tried it on were probably not the best but I was in a hurry.

Ok what am I forgetting???

That those are Carpet Roses in the photos.

I had cut them to see that there really was a difference in the petals of the red, pink and scarlet.

We planted the pink and red ones (before they flowered) for a customer.

He came to tell me that the red ones were single petaled and the pink double.

I thought he was crazy.

But he was right…..

and the scarlet ones are even more doubled.

Who knew?  : )
