Oh gosh, Jacomina! My brain must have fallen out of my head! Of course I remember the conversation we had about you joining us, and I even have clean bedding all set to go for when you drop by! You're still more than welcome. I'll probably forget again, because apparently when I retired I stopped thinking! You might have to remind me again. And again. LOL!

MY Goodness, friends.

No ebots from the first day, but I kept the flag on Carins Intro to the new challenge, which is just awesome. Thank you Carin. And what do I see. A big bunch of fabulous textures. What a delight to see. And here I thought nobody had started, since I got no ebots. How wrong I was, YAY !!

Have a great texture time :)))))))

Amazing work Helle.

Thanks alot, Christo :D

Hi Helle, you've spilled a lot with white paint. An excellent result of an (I think) acrylic wave, which makes outstanding textures here.
p.s. don't worry, it's just the first week ;-)

@ Tara :Seems very nice to me, if your thoughts are retiring also; so nice and quiet in your head then!
But, my friend....are you sure it's not Alzheimer's ? :D

Well not Acrylic. The foam is made with gouache and the rest is just watercolor :D. :)

Meisiekind ( ) posted Wed, 04 July 2012 at 9:21 AM

Helle it feels like I'm getting the foam splashes from your amazing painting in my face! Excellent work!

Thank you so much Carin :-D

BTW.. do you remember the texture I found on the greenhouse. In the forum I asked you, if you recognize it from somewhere else of my uploads? :) Maybe you havent had time to see that, but I used the texture on your BD- card :)

Meisiekind ( ) posted Wed, 04 July 2012 at 9:40 AM

Oh - I did see it Helle!!! I was wondering where I have seen it before and now that you mention it, the penny dropped! Yay!!!!

A great combination, plus result, dear Helle!

I've added a comment on your Flickr, and there it looks amazing neautiful.
So everyone has to go to that link :D

helanker ( ) posted Wed, 04 July 2012 at 10:47 AM

Thank you dear Jacomina :-) I am practizing for at big acrylic with waves :) It was my first attempt with waves, so I was quite excited about it :)

Quote - so I was quite excited about it :)

And so am I.
A lot of success by the acrylic waves, my friend!

LOL, I saw I made a writing mistake : it has to be 'beautiful' of course (not 'neautiful', don't know if this word probably means anything, I hope nothing wrong :D))

auntietk ( ) posted Wed, 04 July 2012 at 1:23 PM

@ Jacomina: LOL! Alzheimer's might be relaxing! My brain tends to be a very busy place. It's a shame I haven't figured out how to organize it yet. I'd love to run my brain like a menu tree, moving and deleting and copy/pasting information to a place where it makes more sense. I have lyrics to terrible songs from the 50s in my head that I can't get rid of, and I think that's taking up the space I need in order to remember our conversation about camping! :P

I also really love the texture of helanker, even if the original painting is more exciting.

The acrylic waves work very well. Brava.

Oooooohh! Such lovely rust, Helle! It seems to be having a happy and productive life! :)

Here is my second shot for the first week. It's a maple leaf sitting on a black footstool.

Holy cow there are some great images in here, far too many to mention, so I will just say lovely images everyone. Here's one that gives me a chance to get re-aquainted with challenges and also another chance to use my macro lens hehehe!

Rolling tobacco

auntietk ( ) posted Fri, 06 July 2012 at 7:51 PM

Good timing on the lens, Ronnie! :) Terrific texture shot!

Thanks Tara, I went to the local park today to put it through it's paces a little better, but the forecast was EVER incorect, and after a mere 20 minutes, it pelted down with rain, so I was there under a big tree putting all my gear back in the bag :{

I did get some shots, but nothing like I had planned.

kgb224 ( ) posted Fri, 06 July 2012 at 11:11 PM

Outstanding work for the challenge Helle,Tara and Ronnie.

Ronnie it seems that when you have your camera with you the rain comes along.

I am very frustrated for you my friend.

Go well each and everyone.

Blessed day and weekend.

God Bless.

Meisiekind ( ) posted Sat, 07 July 2012 at 2:28 AM

Helle (rust), Tara (leaf), Ronnie (tobacco) - all three wow images and perfect textures to display here!

Excellent gang - keep them coming!

Christo. Yes it does seem that way my friend, I suppose when I grieve his loving heart, this is how he punishes me hehehe!!

Carin. Yoau are welcome to the image, I will see what else I can come up with, if I am to be stuck in doors then there are textures all around me heheh!

Helle. That rust study is absolutely gorgeous!

helanker ( ) posted Sat, 07 July 2012 at 10:36 AM

Thank you Tara and I Love your "fig leaf" lol. Does it mean, that.... um.. never mind

helanker ( ) posted Sat, 07 July 2012 at 10:38 AM

Ronnie, awesome tobacco texture. I can almost smell it. Loved the scent of it when my father blended his pipe tobacco. :)

helanker ( ) posted Sat, 07 July 2012 at 10:43 AM

OH, And Ronnie. You will need a HAT with an umbrella on. Then I am sure it wont bother raining anymore, because mother nature wont find it amusing, when you use umbrella.

Adobe_One_Kenobi ( ) posted Sat, 07 July 2012 at 11:21 AM

LOL! I have seen those brolly hats, they are amusing, and I have the right sense of humour to wear one too :}
