Spicy . . . . . .

Or rather spices . . . . a shot of my little spice jars which are jewel bright coloured glass and even look lovely without anything in them.
Spices conjure up for me the smells of exotic places . . . . magic carpets  . . .and tales from far flung places.. . .so they tie in nicely with the theme over at Kim Klassen's "Texture Tuesday" where this week it's  . . . "story" .

So here is "Sunshine and Spice"


I used two textures "Walnut Ink" and "Magic Scratches" and layer masks to remove the texture in places that I wanted the full depth of the detail and colour to come through . . .

I'll post this as soon as I can because we have been informed that we will have no power from 8.30 until 12.30. . . .  .at least we've been warned in advance and not just had the plug pulled, which is what usually happens here :-)

Happy Tuesday everyone, Teresa xx :-)

  1. We don't get any warning here, about power cuts, which can be a bugger when you're on line at the time.

    Nice work with the textures.

    Kim's Magic Scratches goes so well with your image, well done!
