We had fun on Saturday evening attending a ceilidh, with a great caller for all those who did not know the dances. After a week of watching lots of performances in the Fringe Festival it was a nice change to be participating in the entertainment. As I went to school in Scotland, I learnt the basic dances there and the moves and rhythms came back to me easily. My feet seem to have a good memory for dances – but some of my muscles complained they were being used in new ways!
The room was dark and people were moving fast so my photos were all blurred. But I think they are a perfect candidate for some texture treatment – and with Kim Klassen’s theme for the week ‘back to school’ it all fell together nicely.
I used 2 texture layers – all that on multiply blending mode and canvas magic on linear dodge. The font is boring showers.

I've been keeping some blurry shots I normally would delete so this is a wonderful way to preserve some of those.
