Texture Tuesday - Favorite movie edition

 

How obvious is mine?  I set out for the image to be a subtle suggestion of the movie.  Oh well.  I like the final result so I'll go with it! 

I really enjoyed the movie Marie Antoinette, written and directed by Sofia Coppola, starring Kirsten Dunst.  The costumes were stunning.  In fact, it won an academy award for best costume.  Here are the two photos I combined to create this collage.  A photo of the Eiffel tower I took a few years ago (since Marie spent many years at the Palace of Versailles, a suburb of Paris).

 

 

And a photo of a poster of an exhibit about Marie Antoinette's life, which I visited while I was in Paris.  Is this cheating since it is a photo of a poster?  :   )

 

I think I need a glass of wine before I write this recipe!  Sometimes when I look back on my art, I wonder how I got where I did.  Like the one where I used it at 99%...like there is really a difference between this and 100%!  Oh well, must have felt right at the time.

I used the poster photo as my base,

Kim's sweattart texture multiply 100%,

playing with brushes  frame screen 99%, erased out the texture on the image

my Paris stamp multiply 59%,

pixeldust French script on parchment soft light 100%, erased out the image n the texture

Kim's sweettart multiply 56%

Eiffel tower photos soft light 100%, erased out part that covered the image

Kim's stained linen soft light 100%

Level adjustment

 

Hop on over to Kim's site and see how everyone interpreted this week's challenge.

Oh I love Paris and this movie. You're textures work well and any type of recipe making always works better with a glass of wine in hand!(Says she sipping a chardonnay)

Well I don't think it's cheating...it's Art! I love it and that movie too. What a great angle of the Eiffel Tower. You did a fab job on the collage and the use of the textures. Thanks for sharing your formula.

Bright blessings,

Great job of editing! Isn't it amazing how we stop at 99% or at 54% or some odd number thinking that is 'just right'. Obviously it is! Your creation is beautiful.

Fantastic creation, love it. Thank you for sharing how you arrive with it. I don't think its cheating at all when you use something in such a combination that it is unrecognizable as when it was standing alone.
