Texture Tuesday: Echinops on Potting Bench

October 28, 2014 by Barb 19 Comments

Yesterday I spent a pleasant, but chilly couple of hours outside playing at my potting bench. The temperature was hovering around 3C but I found it rather invigorating.

I had some tidying up to do; washing clay pots, putting tools away, and gathering items to bring indoors for props during the winter. I just wish there was some way I could bring my potting bench in …

Echinops on Potting Bench

I shot and edited this image with my phone, then sent it to Photoshop to add one layer of kk_way on soft light at about 50%.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

    Gorgeous work Barb, I love the bench you use. I am lucky we have an unheated sunroom that I can use in the winter as long as I’m quick when it’s cold !

    I love the mood that this photo sets. Just perfect for autumn winding down leading us into the winter ahead. It sets just the right mood with the almost-monochromatic earth tones.

    So very beautiful! The flowers are very cute and the little round stones are perfectly placed. I agree with Viv, I love your bench too.

    Such a beautiful shot, Barb. May I ask what kind of plant this is? Or is this just a stupid question?
    I wish I had a potting bench like this! Gorgeous.

    The softly faded edit of this picture is perfect for the transition to fall. I wish I could play with you at the potting table – love to work outside. Now, I need to get to raking our leaves – lots of oak trees here!

    Very nice – texture on textured objects! And I love the soft and blurry aged effect.

    Straight out of designer magazine. The black stones just make it.
