Texture Tuesday
I haven’t done one of these for so long! I grabbed a quick freebie from French Kiss Collections and rattled this one out! It was taken on Easter Sunday on a our trip out to see the bluebells in Wayland wood – very lovely they were too. I think we got there just before they…

In spite of good intentions at the weekend I failed miserably to get out in the garden to do the Big Autumn Tidy Up that I’ve been planning. As a result it is still a rather over grown and wilting mess. Sadly I have also neglected the few raspberry canes that I have on the…
Read MoreTexture Tuesday: the last of the summer chives
It’s ages since I did a texture Tuesday (and a fair while since I last blogged) but I was inspired at lunchtime by these chives which I picked from our very sad and bedraggled looking herb garden. The camera was already in the kitchen as I was talking pictures of the rock cakes that I…

Read MoreTexture Tuesday: Decay
You may have noticed from many of the posts on The Pixel Chef that I love old, dilapidated or decaying things! Many of these things also lend themselves to the use of textures to enhance and develop the mood of the original image. The above picture was taken in France when we we on holiday…

I have had great fun in the last week making some of my own textures splattering virtual paint on virtual canvasses. These two pictures use my brown grunge texture along with some free Textures I recently downloaded from the lovely Two Lil’ Owls Studio which you can download HERE.
Read MoreTexture Tuesday – the colours of Autumn
I love the colours of Autumn! And this year the colours seem even brighter and more vibrant than usual. Over half term I took my daughter for a quick photo shoot to our Village Green in Carbrooke. It’s a fantastic space which was developed for the Millennium and is planted with entirely indigenous wild flowers,…
