I've been taking a class by Linda Sattgast of Digital Scrapper. While I have learned so much from my guru, Kim Klassen...I was interested in seeing what other things I could learn from another source. It's been eight weeks (and STILL not done) and it has been a wonderful learning process.
I learned how to make a texture by combining color and other textures...FUN!
Our homework was to create a texture and then add it to a photo...
This is the texture I made using a pale yellow-green base, then added three textures: one of Styrofoam, one of distressed wood, and one of metal in various blend modes.
This is the original photo...not remarkable... (This is a veterans' chapel at our local oldest, active cemetery...lots of history here!)
But then some edits and desaturation...and then add the texture I created...
MAGIC!!! (Kinda Gothic...remember Dark Shadows?)
Such fun! And I had to create a folder of textures that I have created...so far I have a grand total of one!
You have one more than I have. Nice job too.
ReplyDeleteOh just my cup of tea I've saved the class to do later in the year...
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out. I am sure that folder will start filling up quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh this is really nice!! It does have a Gothic feel. The dots on the texture could almost pass as snow maybe?
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! you did fabulous!
ReplyDeleteTruly remarkable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid job, Denise! I'm truly impressed. {I haven't tried my hand at making textures yet, not sure I will.}
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! Congrats on creating such a beautiful texture and then finding just the right image to add it to!
ReplyDeleteOh my word, you know how to make textures! How exciting!!!! I will have to put this class on my to do list. Thanks for the shout out.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your photo editing on this is very effective! Kinda haunting.

You did a remarkable job with this texture....The class sounds like lots of fun and I definitely will be adding it to my 2014 list of classes I want to take.
