TEXTURED

Layering

 textures onto an image can

 intensify the atmosphere or story. One of my future

posts will show how to add textures for those that like the look... I definitely
use textures more subtly now than I did on these older images below, but I still like the look
and it's so easy to make your own textures by photographing items around the house.
I used my scratched up metal cookie tray for one of mine. There are

 also plenty of free textures

online like at http://www.deviantart.com/resources/textures/

just check what the owners allow

you to do with

 it first.

 

 

This is a magical beast .... 
that holds the secret of light & shadow in a safe place in her heart & when it has been too long grey,
she starts to dance & laugh & cry & sing & the sunlight fills her up
 & spills in wild abandon
 back into the world
again.

"I'm scared to sleep,
I'm scared to dream,
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream. 
I can't breathe" 
~ Lyrics - Gary Numan

 .... wrap my cold heart, my sorrowful soul,   

my wasting being... with all the

 warmth you can give-

 you can share- you can care!

warm again- as you could, all that's

irresistibly comforting to hold....

 ~ Dimitri Marcellana

 The damaged girl just could not sleep,

because her thoughts were way too deep.

Her mind had gone out for a stroll

and fallen down a rabbit hole.

The End.
