texture tuesday ~ soft

it's been far too long since i've had some texture in my life...so i'm back to linking up with ms. kim klassen's texture tuesday group.

i'm excited to sink back in and start seeing things with a camera eye again. since getting my new iphone, i am very guilty of leaving my camera on the shelf - i love everything i can do with that phone!

but i also love my camera, and here's what we came up with for ms. kim's prompt for this week ~ soft



i set the background on soft light blend. adjusted the levels & contrast a bit, then added a layer
of kim's "little things" texture set on multiply at 53% opacity.
removed a bit of the texture from the eggs. that's it.

how lucky are we to have friends who share their fresh eggs with us!
just in time for easter!

  10. oh, how lovely!... especially for this holiday time of year. and how nice to have friends who give you eggs. there is nothing better than fresh eggs straight off the farm. i have a friend whose in-laws give them eggs, and she in turn, shares some with me. you're right... it is a blessing!

  14. Your egg picture is so pretty...love all the different colored eggs. I know they come out of the chicken that way, but I do not see the green ones very often. Glad you are returning to your texture work because it is such fun. I t makes one feel like a real artist with the changes created. This turned out beautifully. genie

  15. Nicely done. I've also fallen in love with textures. These eggs certainly need some "soft" hands!
