Frosted fruit and flowers

Bonnie invited us to try a photoart technique that we do not usually use. I’ve been wanting to create a collage of abstract textured images that all use the same texture.

The photo in the middle is the texture applied to all of the others – it is the frost on the car windscreen taken last year.  I applied it to various photos of fruit and flowers from my collection and used mostly colour burn and overlay blending modes, plus one on difference.

I like the balance of repetition and difference

    Great idea and a wonderful result! The repeating lines of the texture pull the whole piece together beautifully. Thank you for sharing with Photo Art Friday.

    Very creative! I love that you were able to make your own texture from a photo and then apply it to make such abstract images. Great idea!

    Well.. I would like that, wouldn't I?
    Wish I'd thought of arranging mine like that.

    Very intriguing.
    It's great; however did you think of making 8 of these in a frame?
    Great job!

    Oh I like this very much. Love that you used the "frost" as a texture. I have a frost picture that I'll have to try that out with.

    Very creative and such a unique idea to pull into the 3x3 format. It is amazing how each is different yet has a similar feel. Thank you, kareninkenai

    This is very inspiring for me too Helena. I have been playing with digital art lately but haven't the courage to post yet. I really will try harder. Thanks.
    So glad I caught up with you at last. x
