this isn't really a tutorial. but i wanted to share something with you.
~
the hubby and i went out for a little drive yesterday and as beautiful as the sky was and as great as the barn was that caught my eye. it left me empty. or at least wanting more.
~
what i really wanted
was for this photo to look old enough to be held in arthritic hands
while a story of what happened in this barn years ago
was shared with me.
in order to do that
changes had to made
~
i felt i had to get rid of the dirt pile in the lower front right hand corner
{only because it bugged me}
and
the sign in the dried prairie grass.
then the "will call sheriff" sign on the door
{which made me laugh}
felt out of place. so i got rid of that.
there was also a large square cement box on the bottom right of the barn
that my eyes kept going to. so i made that disappear too.
~
after all of those things were cloned over. i was ready to play.
so with a few "old" colors added and an aged texture
the photo became what i had envisioned in the first place.

i'm kind of thinking about doing something like
"make it pretty" mondays in march
where all of you can join me on mondays and we can share what we did to a photo
to make it better. to change it. to make it pretty.
what do you think
?
