Vintage Fun

This week I've been playing around with some vintage looks in my photos.  The first is a shot of an old Underwood typewriter I took at the Sundridge pioneer log cabin.
Mouse over photo to see the 'before' image.
I've added some layers of textures, including some with text, using some of the ideas I've learned in Kim Klassen's Beyond Layers.

This second shot was taken a couple of years ago in a bakery in Guelph.

      Thanks Deb. It's a lot of fun playing with textures. As for the mouse over, try going back to Kim's blog and doing a search for the mouse over. Maybe you're missing part of it. Good luck!
