Here's a little hat I made recently for one of my bears using scraps of doylies, lace, flowers and beading. The band was cut from an op shop top, and the embellishments were hand-stitched in place.
Here's Edwina in her new hat. The frame is from Angela Wolf of JoesSistah.
Now for some of my glorious Spring roses. They are mauve, but I've 'neutralised' them with a textured background I purchased from 2 LilOwls.
I then added a frame from The Coffeeshop Blog.
I added another texture as a frame, too.
I'll showcase more of my rose photos from this year soon, but for Simply Neutrals, I've played in Photoshop to 'neutralise' the vibrance of their colours, which is subtly beautiful, too. I've used the same Coffee Shop frame with a texture from Jerry Jones. The rose is called 'Climbing Cinderella', one of my favourites.
This next rose is 'Champagner', textured with a texture from Jerry Jones.
Now for a little mobile phone fun using an app called Kaleidoscope. Watch out, it's addictive! It's a great activity when you are waiting around somewhere or on public transport with kids in tow... It uses a photo on your phone or you can take a shot to play around with.
An inspiring quote for the New Year...
The background texture is from http://farfarhill.blogspot.com.au/
Happy creating!
hugs,
Jesse

Thanks Wen for hosting the Simply Neutrals party. You can see more neutral beauty at AppleApricot .
P.S. A little hint for those new to blogging (like me!), I've noticed that when I return to past Simply Neutrals posts, some of my links didn't link back to the actual #post on Wen's blog, or to my own #post, so make sure you click on the post title to get the specific link address to use, rather than the main address of the blog. Otherwise you have to search manually for it and others who may be browsing our blogs can't easily find the posts.
