Week 4: Texture Me

This picture is one that I think is just fascinating. It is so very subtle, but says so much. When I heard we were challenged by "www.iheartfaces.com" this week to work with texture, I INSTANTLY went to this picture. This picture captures a kind of texture that many don't SEE (although it IS right IN FRONT of our eyes ;-)

EYELASHES
My daughter has the biggest brown eyes and her eyelashes have always been envied by many adults! I took this picture a few weeks ago just so she could SEE her eyes. When she saw it on my camera she said "My eyes look like they have angel's wings"... so now we call our eyelashes angel's wings :-)
I also won the Flora Bella Collection of actions and textures and my laptop has not left my lap since! Well... I did eat... BUT- I ate while I played with it. This picture has the "soft urban" action with two separate layers of the "vintage screen" texture. The first layer is set at 33% opacity and covers the whole picture. The second layer is set at 38% opacity and fill at 18% and is set to the left of the face to cover the empty space. I love this picture and am honored to show everyone the collection I won!
