texture challenge
what would you do with this??
after my last post , i had a few people wondering about texture
so i sent them a copy to see what they could come up with
(if you would like to try, get a copy of the texture here)
my friend ludgera was having a tough time so i had her send me her photo to play with
above(the finished project)
the fun part is playing with the the different blending modes
all you have to do is add the texture to any photo and PLAY!!!
duplicate it as may times as you want and see what happens
try on every blending mode
don't forget to re-arrange the layer order
and the opacity
and you sometimes get a great surprise when you turn a layer off
like the one above in blue --after it became the red sample seen above it
-----
so why not give it a try
i would love to see what you come up with
e-mail me a photo and i will post them next week
above ( photo by ludgera, manipulation by me---the first 2 i use a small section of the texture)
