It’s finally Texture Tuesday again! I think it’s been a month since the last link-up. I’ve missed it, especially because I finally have enough time (famous last words. . .) to participate each week now that I am not doing a Project 365. So, unbelievably, the theme this week is cuppa– and I have the perfect photo- another view of my beautiful new cup and book. Because I used them as the subjects of last Friday’s post (scroll down to see) , I changed things up a bit and did a black and white conversion with a bit of a silver tone prior to adding texture. I almost never add textures to black and whites, but I think it works well here. The textures are return (low opacity) and reentry (100%), two of Kim Klassen’s latest.
UPDATE: When I went to link up today’s post to the Texture Tuesday page this morning, I discovered that Kim Klassen had used the exact same cup in her post for today (and she also had just received the cup as a gift!)! I’m thinking this must be a sign of good things to come!

Love everything about this … the negative space used so effectively. And that quote! Oh, yes, that’s me, to a “tea”.
It took me a little while before I jumped into textures and Texture Tuesday. I agree with you, Melinda, it is one of my favorite linkys too. Textures are fun and can add a lot to a picture.

Melinda, I have so enjoyed your blog. Your photos show true style! This cup and book are so special with the quote.
Wow. The depth of field on this shot is perfect. The cup and book pop. And I love the composition; simple and elegant.
What a beautiful blog you have! Looking forward to seeing your TT and BB submissions!
