I went on a spur of the moment jaunt with a friend to check out a few Antique places in the area. She is new to "West Bumblefuk" as she calls it out here in the wilds of Northwestern NJ, having lived on the east side of the state, since....well......as long as i have known her!
She found a wild and very different carved mask for a special spot on one of her walls....i personally think it would make a fabulous focal point for any of her walls, as she has quite a few pieces that would work SO well with it! I managed to find a very vintage little suitcase....to go with my slightly larger vintage suitcase. To make matters even better, both were on sale for 20% off!
When i saw the challenge from Kim Klassen for this weeks lesson, i was elated! i have never tried tinting...other than APPLYING a preset tint with my Nik software. (BTW, Silver Effects Pro is AMAZING!)
I was pretty certain that i would mess up SOMETHING when i tried it myself, but to my astonishment it worked the very first time!! i was very exited because i had the perfect photo in my mind from the little excursion to the antique shops. This particular shop had quite a few very cool chandeliers....from the most ornate and sparkly to rusted metal. I fell in love for the look of the sparkly crystal against the very vintage, peeling paint doors that she used as a backdrop in the shop. i am VERY pleased with how this looks! The whole thing just reminded me of Cinderella....going from the wretched cottage to the beautiful sparkly castle! i used a slightly warm graduated filter, combines with a very pale pink. i am smitten with the look!

The Mask....and my sweet little vintage suitcase!! Yes....the mask is strange....but i think it is very cool! My suitcase....well, what can i say....it was love at first sight!! It will make it into some SP's along the way and some portrait shoots as well!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Can't wait to peek at the tinted shots! :)
