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 made earlier (yes I know!) and these two flowers and stems were just crying out for a still life treatment. There are three textures applied to the image – all from Kim Klassen – Total Grunge, Culligan Scripted and one of this week’s freebies 0411 which literally popped into my in box as I was working on the image in Photoshop.
Above is the original image – as you can see the scratches are actually there on our stainless steel workshop and not part of one of the texture files!
In case you’re interested the chives were to go on the top of the cauliflower and gorgonzola soup that I made for lunch – recipe coming soon hopefully!
