It's cold and chilly outside, the possiblity of snow they say? Hard to imagine but I guess Winter is really on the way! A good excuse to stay indoors and work on some more Photoshop tutorials and catch up on inside things.
The Vintage Beauty image is a composite from an old stock photo combined with a scan of a polaroid transfer I did aeons ago (before Polaroid stopped making film). There are several layers of textures, scratchy things added to the mix and then some dodging and burning for good measure. I like the old and distressed feel the piece ended up with.
Here's hoping you are staying warm and cozy too!
I LOVE it! It was about 37C here yesterday! Finally some warm weather. Try and stay warm.

Wow, wow, wow. LOVE this!
VERY chilly and a bit of the white stuff came down this evening here; nothing stuck to the ground and I kept insisting it was just "thick rain".....yes, I live in denial.

This is beautiful, Marie! It looks like I could touch it! Very textural and graphic. Love it.
