Filtered Stars
...with extra bling :)

#Star
I thought it's easy to put a star shape together with my Swarovski crystals, but, no, not at all ;) After a few weird-looking star attempts, I looked for patterns online, and found a nice, fairly easy to do (with difficult to manage glass crystals on a glass surface) star made of wooden balls which I used as template for this star. Unfortunately I didn't have enough of the super tiny (2 mm / 0,07 inches in diameter) crystals for that shape, so I had to use the bigger ones (5 mm / 0,19 inches in diameter – and definitely easier to use). To bring out that famous Swarovski bling, I've also used the star filter. I also had to do considerable de-dusting ;). Photo entirely processed in DXO PhotoLab 4, LR (presets "Futuristic" FT 08 and FT 11 with my own tweakings), and PS (dust and signature).
I hope I can catch up with you tonight!
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, and have a nice autumn or spring week ahead!
