This is my last layout for the Sketchy Thursdays challenge site. They are calling it quits after this week's challenge. I am so very sad, but I understand how much work this must have become for them. I want to thank all the gals over there for giving me this last year (almost) worth of inspiration and awesome sketches. I will miss you and hope the you continue to share your talents with us someway, somewhere. So thanks and I decided to go have some fun and try some stuff that I haven't done before.
These photos were the first photos I took with the macro lens I got for Christmas. It is amazing how ugly, brown weeds become cool and beautiful when you change your point of view. I first stood there thinking that there was nothing to photograph, but then I started seeing the beauty in the close up. I can't wait to go play with it some more!

The teal and yellow are beautiful on this one Laura!! And I agree, the pic looks awesome...even if it is a weed!! :) I really like the cool shape of your banner and the natural fiber that you "hung" it with!!
ReplyDeleteLike Ashley, I really like the yellow and teal too. It really makes your layout pop! I'm so very bummed for you that they are calling it quits. I know how much you enjoy them. :( On a side note, looks like you are enjoying your macro lens. You've got a great eye there. Sometimes it's hard to find the beauty in things. I think a lot of us just tend to look for the "big picture" and those little things like little brown weeds get overlooked. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI love the distressing, Laura!! You did a great job at it!! The little bit of trim, the distressed layered flower and the banner are such great touches- and awesome photos!!
