Scavenge Challenge September 2012 - "25. Last month, we delicately applied post-processing to improve our photos. This month, we're going to take that a step further and render an image into an artistic version using a heavier hand. Again, photos should be presented as a diptych, side by side for comparison. The challenge you face here is to create something which is visually appealing to a general audience, NOT a garish, over-the-top alteration. Two options to consider: stylizing (rendering as a painting or sketch) or adding a texture to your original image."
Ok… fuzzy wording ("heavier hand") has me scratching my head. To much? Not enough?
We'll try THIS picture and see if it flies.
Obviously, the top shot needed some serious work, although low exposure has benefits if you know ahead of time you want to add in texture/grain. In addition to fiddling with exposure, I pulled on curves and levels, applied vignette, sharpness (more sharpness, yet more sharpness), plus some lightening (of the side of the pan) and polarizing (of the backdrop to kill some of the sheen that developed when I upped the exposure).
If I had to do it over again, I would have tried a small reflector on the pan or just gone with a higher exposure and hoped I could get enough "grain" using sliders, as the black was pretty much a black hole as taken.
All was done in Aperture 3.
* Duke = the stage name of the Golden Retriever in the Bush's Beans commercials, named after the real Golden Retriever owned by the Bean Bush's family.

Rustic Mexican furniture is very popular and affordable form of furnitures. It provides a rustic environment which is very inviting and relaxing.
I wear a rustic, durable reclaimed brown leather coat, the perfect protective layer for your artistic endeavors. On my cover I’m embellished with a beautiful vintage key measuring 2 inches long, which has been stitched into my coat with linen thread.
Open me up, and you’ll find I begin with a vintage botanical illustration, which has been tea-stained & hand-torn to compliment my viscera.
To follow, you have 140 sheets (280 pages) of tea-stained paper for your thoughts which have been stitched into my coat with rusty colored linen thread akin to that on my cover. Hand-torn, my rustic pages are sure to inspire your creative side. When not in use, I’ll bundle up your words, pictures & things with my double leather wrap tie.
Measuring 5 x 3 ¾ inches, I’ll fit into backpacks, drawers, satchels, panniers, baskets and large pockets.
Found object pendant made from a rusty keyhole escutcheon, a tiny Mucha picture coated with Ice resin layered over a verdigris brass charm, and strung on heavy chain with czech glass beads and a bit of gypsy ribbon. Monday mayhem.
p.s. Sorry for the poor picture quality - the sun was going down fast!
You could smell this aromatic booth from a mile away! Eugenia of Rustic Soap Company makes bath and body products that are out of this word.
It's hard to tell on the plain white background, but this Rustic Sphinx moth is huge -- more than big enough to cover the palm of my hand. They can be up to three inches long, front to back. Besides that, they have a really striking and complex pattern. This was the first one I'd ever seen in person, and it was really impressive.
Here is a free colouring layer I created and use on many of my photo creations including Oh Buoy, Happy Days and It's a Long Way Home. If you like the look, give it a try.
Burning Man community wedding at Nature Friends Lodge, Los Angeles.

More fun with digital bw conversion. This is the second of three shots of the waterwheel I want to hang up as decoration in my house. The rustic characteristic should be cool on the wall :)
View the large size.
Here are more baseball cuffs that I created using Vintage and game used baseballs, rhinestone pins, and DMC Embroidery. I hand delivered these beauties to DMC Last week!

Rustic Baubles
These truly stunning bauble bundles make unique and beautiful Christmas decorations. Each bundle is made up of 6 baubles, all hand made from recycled glass and tied together with recycled 'Kantha' saris.
All Nkuku glass is 100% recycled. This not only saves energy (50% less energy than that required to make new glass) but is an ongoing process, as glass can be recycled continually. This means we can create new beautiful and useful objects with less impact on our environment.
