Creative Interpretations: Rose and a Crystal Bell

[Xaran]

As we have had a lot of Portraits lately here is something different - I tried a bit of 'creative' photography.

Have fun

Hi Elle,

Glad to know I'm not the only one with things like this - it's actually Cavan Crystal, I bought it when we visited the factory a few years ago.

Hi Christine

I still have the little stickers on mine, didn't think anyone in australia would have them, maybe its a creative thing to have to be in the IN crowd lol!

Plastic wrap never used it before...

The Cavan Crystal Bell was called the Marriage Bell, given to people to bring them luck. Irish tale i am told.

Very nice effect from the plastic wrap Elle, I didn't know about it being a marriage bell.

Australia - I think you are confusing me with Pauline (Neve) I am in London.

Opened original image in painter, duplicated, ran a sketch effect, multiplied 4 times for strong lines, and on a separate layer, a woodcut effect, screen blend. On third layer with gel blend, gave it a slight wc wash (cloned from orig). Saved and opened in ps7. Added a render-clouds layer.

I did gblur, posterize, layers, blends, masks.
