An icy heart scratched into the frost on a wind screen. :D Lots of textures added to give it more depth. I love hearts, what can I say? :D

A Touch of Frost

Taken in my garden. I have no idea what this plant is - it's probably a weed but it looked totally magical covered in frost. The picture on the right-hand side is of the frost collected on a wheel barrow. It might be cold but it's pretty. :-)

No textures, just cover adjustments and a little cropping. All my own images edited in 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).

Icy Needles

Taken in my garden a few days ago when it was cold rather than raining. I love the icy needles on the gooseberry leaves. They look like glitter. :-) The images were taken with a macro lens and then edited with curves and colour adjustments in Photoshop. No textures.

A Sprinkling of Sugar

Taken in my garden yesterday morning. There's a wild rose bush in my garden which I haven't had the heart to cut down because it's so pretty both in summer when it's covered in lovely pale pink flowers and in winter when it's covered in rosehips and provides some much needed winter colour. I've been using a macro lense to get a closeup of the frozen frost on the rosehip and the leaves. Some cropping and colour adjustments, no textures.

All images my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

This is an image I created for the 1/52 project (week 48). There are two photographs of the ice that has frosted over a water barrel in the garden, one a close-up shot (macro lens) of the ice at the front, the other a macro shot of the reflection of the rose bushes in the ice. I've added textures and colour adjustments and cropped it. There's a second landscape version I'll post tomorrow.

There is also a poem to go with it, which can be read here.

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

Icy Heart II

Arcangel: SYST-0125

The recent heavy frosts have allowed me to have some fun with scraping hearts into icy surfaces. The original surface was black so when I mixed it all up it looked like I'd scratched it into glass. :-) I love the intense feel of the first one and the grunge look of the second one. An alternative to all the sweet cards and images, something different and a bit edgy. :-)

Part of my new series of images for licensing on Arcangel-Images.

Created with my own photographs in Photoshop, no stock used.
