Another experiment after watching another interesting PS tutorial
This time I went for a different kind of effect. I’ve always had a thing about Art Nouveau and the way they create something almost magical but in a simple way with subtle colour and ornamental effects. This is my version of an Art Nouveau poster.
I’ve used a stock photo by M3ment0M0ri of an actress (I believe) called Maude Fealy and a texture by Dazzle-Textures called Destructive News.
The rest of the images/textures are mine, namely a photo of a cherry blossom and one of my Victorian Wallpaper textures.

I am a very creative person and it’s my way of dealing with the world, inside and out. I am only happy when I am making things or painting or writing. There are just not enough hours in the day…. I am into poetry and photo manipulation at the moment and also dabbling in photography. :-)

Whatever combination you used, you worked absolute magic with it! This is perfectly awesome! And beautiful!
Thank you Lianne. :-) I was really pleased with the results and it’s nice to learn something new with each experiment and then to use it my way (yep, I am one of those people who consider all instructions to be only rough guidelines…) ;-)

I love it ….the expression of the piece is so soothing to view ….I just can’t help wondering what she may be thinking. Is she melancholy? Is she madly in love and in a state of bliss? It is a gorgeous piece of art Sybille….x
Thanks! It was a lovely photo to start off with. I love those Edwardian photos, they’re always a little romantic and soft. Glad you found it inspiring. :-)
