| | | Creative Interpretations: Rose and a Crystal Bell 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.

| | | My Crystal Rose... 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.
