Textures for You...

Here are a couple of delicious textures for you. I hope you can use them. I really enjoy adding textures to certain photographs. They seem to make them richer. I think texture just does that. It makes everything seem a little more elegant. It gives depth.

Digital Photograph edited on my iphone...The Homestead



The Homestead

It has been a long month. I think my family has been through an emotional ringer. The most positive thing was that we were all reunited in one place. I have enjoyed spending time with my cousin Barbara, my sister and my Mother. The four of us together was a really nice thing. My Father would have enjoyed watching us girls chatting and cooking, giving each other strength.

I left Washington D.C. for home on Thursday.  I had to stop in Charlotte North Carolina to pick up one of my sons.  He is going to help me with all of the boxes and help me move my furniture around in my new house.  I have only been there twice since I bought it in early December.  Then it was only to retrieve some clothes for Daddy's funeral. I figure it is time to get my life unpacked, sorted and set back up. It has been a long journey to get to this place.

I really want to say "Thank You" for all of your support. It was much needed an appreciated.

The digital photograph above is of a beautiful little farmhouse in Virginia I considered buying. I took the picture with my iphone camera then edited it in Filter Mania then again in 100 Cameras. I am so thankful to have these Apps. When I am waiting in line, etc. I like to play with these. I feel like I am doing something creative rather than just waiting...

Digital Photograph...The Mill...Edited with iphone

This is a photograph I took of a closed down Textile Mill in North Carolina. I recently purchased a new iphone app - Iris - that is for editing your iphone pictures. It is a lot like Photo Shop with a few different bells and whistles.
This app woud be really good for all of you who post photographs from your iphone to Facebook and/or Twitter. Iris gives you the ability to crop, sharpen, cleanup your photographs much like photoshop but right on your iphone. It is so much fun!

Saturday Textures #15...from my iphone

Here are this weeks textures. I have been traveling, visiting, friends, and generally enjoying summer. My access to the Internet has been limited. They still have not figured out how to have continual Internet in the mountains. In my spare time I have been making lots of textures and taking a lot of pictures. My iphone still continues to surprise me with all the interesting things you can do with it. These textures were made with my iphone. Hope you enjoy these!

Saturday Texture's #14...from my iphone

Here are this Saturday's textures. I did all of these with my iphone. I am having a blast playing with my camera and filters on there. It keeps me occupied while I am waiting places. Time seems to vanish when I am messing with my photographs. Any way, as always I hope you can use these in your art work. Have a wonderful day!
