I am so fortunate to live close to the ocean……about a mile as the crow flies. It is ever changing, some days windblown and rough….some days smooth and clear as glass. Depending on the clouds some days it's a deep dark indigo color…..other days it's a beautiful aquamarine. I love shells and other artifacts from the sea. This week I went for a dreamlike feel.
This little box was a project I did sometime ago. I think I may have done a post about my grandmother's button jar. I covered the box with a vintage paper, glued on buttons from her jar, and tied it all up with an organza ribbon.
For Texture Tuesday I made adjustments in Lightroom and then added two layers of Kim's "Waterfront 7" texture, one on soft light at 15%, the second on linear dodge at 33%. I masked and "erased" a bit of the texture from the starfish, sponge and box. I love the font…..it's called "Lemon Chicken".
Beautiful work Marilyn!
