It’s been a while since I participated in Texture Tuesday but when I went to bed last night I decided to lay there and go over some magazines for inspiration before I went to sleep.
I’ve heard that an idea will come to you in the morning if you try this. And, well, actually, it worked! On two levels. One was this photo. I had set the gerbera daisy on my night stand just to enjoy but I guess it whispered ‘Texture Tuesday’ to my subconscious mind while I slept.
The other was an idea for a tutorial that I need to get working on. I don’t have trouble writing the tutorial – it’s coming up with the the subject – that is the hard part. I’d say that this little exercise worked for me. It’s not easy to create, create, create. It doesn’t happen at the drop of a hat. I have to work at it, every day, all day. And now it looks like all night . . .

I love the softness of the pink tones, and the nice angle. It looks like it is saying “Good morning” to you.

Great edit! So very pretty. May you have sweet and creative dreams tonight!
With results like these, your method definitely has merit! Thanks so much for linking up with Flower Art Friday, too. Wonderful work.
That’s so deliciously soft. Glad you found your inspiration/idea.
Barb, this is a beauty.
Everything is so soft, and the pink on the book is simply perfect with the flower.
Surely one to be proud of!!!
your photo and processing is so beautiful. just dreamy!
Nicely done! I’m going to try the going to bed and sleeping on it if it turns out this great!
Barb i love your processing on this… so soft, and such lovely colors!
this is such pureness, I love it. it says “happy” to me. and your new header is fabulous. happy day to you Barb. have fun planting that garden!
Beautiful Barb, gerberas are amazing flowers.
Hmm, I am going to have to try that trick of looking thru magazines for inspiration right before sleep time…love the daisy, such a showy, beautiful flower!!
Your processing of this shot is very nice! The textures really soften the pink in the daisy. I really like it.
What a lovely piece. The texture is subtle and works with the softness of your flower. I like the use of the book underneath the vase as well. Very nice.
