I talked about lamination of my prints and how easy it is to frame them this way. Wellllll…. I sold a really big hugh 30×40 inches photograph of my Old Blue Chevy with the WaterTank..
Talk about exciting….., to sell something this big was a gas!!!! And then when I told her about having it laminated, she was all for it, as long as the colors didn’t suffer.
Me and My Old Blue Chevy with WaterTank as a 30x40
And She LOVES it, hers that is. “Super love this amazing photo! We are very happy with the lamination process, you barely know it’s there. This photo is awesome this large, and is the focal piece of our country chic master bedroom!!! Photos to follow soon 
) Thanks CheyAnne!” Is her feedback.
and she also told me
“Received my print yesterday and it is stunning!!!! I cant wait to hang it. I can’t tell if it is laminated or not, but the front feels texturally different from the back. If this is the lamination, it beautifully preserves the photo!”
It was so gorgeous really big like this, ssooo……Me and my honey had to have one too!
You can touch them and love them and they can withstand lots of elements. All archival and wonderful to behold.
I taped it onto the wall with clear packing tape and plan on fitting molding right on top of the tape, to make it look like a standard, altho Very Large frame with a back, but it won’t need any backing. We did notice that when you take it out of the container you better have a super flat big area to unroll it and hang it right away. It can get kinks in it and so far those little mistakes look like part of the bangs and dings in the old truck, but I wouldn’t want one in the sky. It would probably show up too easily. So we hung it right away.
Leonardo is so in love with this one, he can't wait for the next one.
We think it will be this one
old teal blue Chevy rusty
or maybe
Old Blue Chevy in the Field
and I really like this view
Old Blue Chevy in the Snow
Are there any of them that are your favorite? I could do this for you too.
Check out my other old trucks on Etsy
Thank you Sarah in Arizona, for making this possible. It’s definitely a big one for me.

rooster
I added Kim Klassen’s paper stained texture to my original watercolor ‘rooster’ .
used vivid light at 58%
reduced the image size so I could add text and there you have it.
Shared on KimKlassen’s Texture Tuesday
my original painting of this rooster sold on my etsy store sometime last year (but I can still make prints, if you are interested)
watercolor rooster original
rooster in Mexico
and it all started with this photo I took on our trip down the coast of Mexico 2 years ago.

Lemon Chiffon pie Yellow Daffodil
I am just having so much fun learning how to texture. This beautiful textures came from
irisb477 she lets you use her textures when you link back to her and that’s fine by me, because it is all so fun.

Well I finally did it. I really don’t know why I haven’t tried textures yet. I mean I’ve been playing around with Photo Shop Elements since number 6 and I’m on 9. so that means at least 5 years. I kinda think that I might get addicted and spend even more time on this computer thing I love so much. I’m beginning to believe that maybe it’s not healthy how much I want to do on this thing.
first textured image
I’ve always been drawn to computers from the git go. Back in the early 80′s when Apple’s where making there way into schools and such, I insisted that my husband (at that time) spend his 401k on an Apple Macintosh for our then young children. And it paid off too. My eldest Jacob, is now a radioman for a fast attack sub in the US Navy, which is all about computers. My youngest son, Benjamin is now (yeah, finally) going to school for computers up in Washington. Now just to get my daughter to make the leap.
Anyway……..
So watching a video over on Kim Klassen Cafe yesterday made layers and textures look so easy. I tried it this morning and with my own texture too.
little grape hyacinth
water-pane texture
These pictures I took yesterday during a massive, hard hail and rain storm we had here in New Mexico. We really, really need the moisture.
I think I’ll go try some more.
