Texture Tuesday – we are to use at least one layer of Kim’s new texture – Phoebe. It’s so soft…
I have used Phoebe and word for this vintage photo from my collection. This one reminds me of my mother when she was a young woman and I so wish she was around to share all the little triumphs and for reassurance when I get slightly overwhelmed by “life”…
Share the love at Kim Klassen’s TT blog today – a great place to soothe your eyes and lighten your soul… ♥
…Take coffee or tea and cookies – you may be a while!

/ November 15, 2011This is beautiful . . I can feel the love coming through and the use of the texture so enhances the image. The sun came out today again here . . .hope you get some as well 🙂 Re the RadLab I’ve got it on the 30 day trial and I must say I’m loving it and that’s after being quite sceptical when I first saw it. Hope the rest of your week is good, Teresa x

/ November 15, 2011Also nice to have photos that “remind” us of loved ones who have gone before us. My heart is with you; I just lost my Mother in February and know how you feel even though I am 64, I would love the reassurance all mother’s unconditionally give now that I am the “matriarch”. What a beautiful rendering of the photo in your collection – very beautiful woman; and, very lovely processing. Thanks so much for sharing. kareninkenai

/ November 15, 2011I have never been able to use textures effectively on portraits. The idea of an old photo is such a good one. Beatiful processing. Hugs to you about missing your mother. I miss my father every day.

/ November 16, 2011You did well to texturize a portrait. Not easy to do I find,
Your mother looks so sweet and caring. No wonder you miss her so.
