My journey through Photoshop continues, I’ve discovered it’s so easy to get lost in layers and suddenly realise nearly 3 hours has passed. However, below is the results of Lesson 3.

Lesson 3

Lingerie is from Insolence, wee hat os from Juicy, hair is Storm from Detour, feathers from Glow Studio

Lesson 3

A further experiment. Hair by SyDs

Skin in each is from Ugly Duck, Gacha number 4, Ultra Violet

I’ve got this arrangement with a friend – she teaches me Photoshop techy thingies and I teach her wordpress bloggy thingies. Today, we spent 4 hours teaching me the PS bits and bobs. Here we go:

This is the basic image I started with. Set against a fullbright white background, a simple posed snapshot

Post processing – I won’t bore you with all the inbetween steps, but I can assure you it took about 4 hours.

And a wee frame. This photograph looks to me as if she is a painting on some recently excavated ruins. I had a terrific time learning this, thank goodness my teacher has the patience of a saint!

I’ve been going through my inventory and discovered quite an array of stunning gowns I have accumulated over the past months. Considering the post-Christmas budgetry issues that always happen this year, I thought I’d show you some of the things I have unearthed. These designs are from Azul

*~*New Year Party Time*~*

This delicate cocktail length dress, ‘Josephine Leger’ is so whimsical and light, it floats around you. I have added purple ballet shoes from DeLa and jewellery from my old favourite, Muse. The hair is a new release from Detour which I spotted on Cajsa’s blog yesterday

*~*New Year Party Time*~*

A close up of the Dauphine jewellery from Muse. The skin is the ‘Bella Painted – blue eye shadow with grape doll lips’ from Ugly Duck. My lovely lashes are from Miamai

The second dress, Aida, is shown full length.

*~*New Year Party Time*~*

I have added the stunning jewellery from Alchemy Immortalis, “Ami amet deli pencet” French Brooch Necklace and Vine Earrings and used the options to alter the metal to silver.

*~*New Year Party Time*~*

This skin is the Bella – Painted (green eyeshadow – blue doll lips) from Ugly Duck, lashes again from Miamai.

I hope my photos give you some ideas for your own inventory raid. You’d probably be surprised to see what you unearth 🙂

Sometimes all it takes is a dress, or a build, or HAIR, to bring to life a theme for photographs. When you mix all three it can be chaotic….

Today I chose the hauntingly beautiful location of Arctic Greenhouse at Alternate Reality for my photographs, which feature the new gown ‘Envy’ from Sascha’s Designs, and also the newly released set ‘Azucena’ from Alienbear Gupte

Envy and Azucena

As usual, Sascha’s dress comes with a variety of lengths and trims per colour. The jewellery set comprises Crown in 2 pieces, necklace in 2 pieces, bracelets and 2 styles of earrings
