Old map of India with a vintage bracelet edited in Photoshop with words from Saint Augustine. :D
On Society 6: 
The perfect bag for storing your travelling literature:
Dream of your holidays over a steaming mug:
Lean back and relax:
... and a mug that will travel anywhere:
Or tell someone it's time to pack their bags and see the world with you:

Growing Up

A picture of some pretty hair slides. When I played around with it, this nostalgic sad emotion developed within the image and reminded of childhood and how we lose our sense of wonder and the assurance that there always will be a happy ending. The quote by Virginia Woolf seemed to match my feelings exactly. 

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

All my images are available on RedbubbleArtflakesSociety6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go toBluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

Three diptychs of vintage cameras and a vintage light meter. I found some info on the Ricoh and Zenit-B cameras but not much on the light meter.

I haven't tried the cameras, they've been around some time and one the Zenit the clasp on the back doesn't work, exposing the film when the brown leather cover is taken off. However, they are both pretty with their fairly slim bodies and simple designs.

All shots have been edited for colour adjustments and textures have been added to create a vintage feel. All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop. They'd look great on the wall together and are available on Society6 exclusively as prints (framed and unframed, large and small), postcards, iPhone, iPad cushion covers.

Nostalgia, Flirt and Kiss

Nostalgia is a close-up picture of my beautiful white roses fairy lights. They're made of fabric and look almost realistic. I have a thing about fairy lights. Some might say an obsession. LOL However, I love looking at them when it gets dark outside, they always make me smile. The font is called Harting.

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

Kiss is another close-up picture of one of my fairy light chains. This one is brand new and has beautiful fabric lotus flowers in shades of red on it. The font is Mountains of Christmas.

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

Flirt is the third in the series and another close-up of the lotus blossom fairy lights. The font is PlumBAE.
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).

Remember Paris

I've actually never been to Paris... but this reminded me of  turn of the century France with its faded colours and shabby chic. Taken with my old camera rather than the new one.

All images are mine or bought except for one of the grunge wall paper textures by Shadowhouse. 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).
