A New Day, A Different Way The creative and photographic endeavours of a woman trying to add color and beauty to her world.

For this week's Texture Tuesday Kim Klassen challenged us to use any of her textures on a photo with a vintage theme. 

I have a thing for antique jewellery and I have developed a bit of collection.  They are necessarily very valuable pieces but I think they are beautiful.  I love to wear the pieces and think about the people that might have worn them before and what their lives where like and why they received the jewellery in the first place.

So here is my photo for this Tuesday:

To edit this photo I used Photoshop Elements 9.  I first used the spot healing tool to remove dust specs that showed up on the mirrored surface and I cropped the photo slightly.  I then used Kim's texture Paper Stained Grunge and set the blending mode to Multiply to darken up the photo and give the whole thing an aged appearance.
