enchanting, fragrant, exquisite
I went hunting in my favourite little junque store ‘One Man’s Treasure’ and I found these two tiny vases. They are bright green, a pretty green – but kind of quite overpowering. So, Kim Klassen to the rescue! I used her texture ‘not too shabby’ on soft light and wow! what a difference. All of a sudden I had this dreamy vignette with my lily-of-the-valley.
On the second photo I applied a photo filter (cyan) to bring it closer to the same exposure as the first photo. Magical stuff don’t you think?

these are so delicious. when I look at them I want to bite into them. I come around and think “that’s not right, they aren’t for eating”. but imagine if they were, how they’d taste!!! there’s perfection in these images – the curve of the vases and the creaminess of the tones. I admire what you do with textures. My own results with them – not so good. it’s something I need to work on. you inspire me to do better. thanks for visiting my blog, it truly means a lot. I hope you have a beautiful day.
