Beyond Layers

Layers. They are my hobby, my medication for high blood pressure, my creative side, my passion.
Textures. They are exhilarating, joyful, fun. And when their magic works they are the way to express my inner feelings.

Not many people get this. I'm happy to have Texture Tuesday friends and Texture Twisters by my side.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Summer

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass…It’s about learning to dance in the Rain 
- Vivian Greene 

It's been raining more than we've known. I'm stuck inside with my computer and I'm kinda liking it. I'm finishing my new textures, laying under my covers, enjoying. Normally I would be devastated, since summer is too short in Finland anyway. But right now rain feels good. Comforting. And my summer holiday is still four weeks away. Meanwhile I'll enjoy life as it is. And browsing trough my archives to see the sun.

I'm finishing with some texture news. The image below is textured with a freebie called 'Muse'. 

You can download it here! If you aren't PS or PSE user but would be interested in using textures in your editing, please check out my tutorial about working with textures in GIMP.

As I said I have a new collection coming up just in few days. It's called 'Rusty Romance' ♥

Here is a little peek textured with 'Charm' from the upcoming collection. Collection available now! CLICK.
