It's no secret that I love textures. I also have a love of vintage keepsakes. I am drawn to the texture of vintage things, the more worn, rusty, crazed, faded, and loved the better. For me, it's a perfect marriage, that of textures applied to photographs of old, well used treasures.
I instantly fell in love with this photo of well worn, well loved baby shoes. And how sweet that these belonged to Kelly, that her Mother had saved them all these years.
{Just for fun, hover your mouse over the photo above to see the before photo. I love seeing the difference applied textures can make on a simple photograph.} Both photos use textures by lenoirrr.

Lovely use of texture, it really adds to the photo and gives it a special extra, like you say 'a perfect marriage' !

Such a dramatic change for such a subtle finished image, pretty!
What a great post, Maureen! I completely love the before and after on the first image. Textures are something I've been wanting to learn. Now I know where to go if I have questions!;-)
I really like both pictures ! (and love the mouse over feature - how does THAT work? ;-))
Lovely post. You have mastered the vintage feel. Thanx for that hover over-way cool.
I love this pairing...the mouseover is fun and shows how the texture really enhanced the photo!
