More experiments with flowers at various stages of dying. I like the faded beauty as much as I like them when they're all fresh and plump. I added textures and colour adjustments in Photoshop. The pictures were taken of the flowers lying flat on a bit of cream cardboard. I only used natural light.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

The Last of the Moonlight

I have two of these wire dummies to display the jewellery I make. I love the detail on them and the 'feminity' they encapsulate so took some pictures of them. 

The image is for me about the 'autumn of our lives', when we take stock of who we are, who we were and when we have to reassess who we want to be. It's about the lost beauty of youth and the treasures we have accumulated. :-)
