Description

If you ask someone to tell you about a moment in their life that was very special... a moment of pure joy or complete happiness... you can actually watch their eyes turn a more vivid color... and see the hint of a smile shape their lips as they cast off the lines that have moored them to the realities of the day and float back in time to capture that pearl of a memory. Sometimes, though, those pearls are waiting for tomorrow...

UF3 with frame and sig in PSP7. You guys make every day feel like Christmas... honestly... and I can't thank you enough for your views and comments. And I hope some of you will find a sweet memory in this one. Hugs! Helen :)

Magnificent pearls, both image and words! Delicate and precious and all too seldom found. Delightful composition! V

I'm right on the verge of saying that this is one of your best. You nailed the lighting on the TIA. I just happen to be rendering a TIA image as we speak. Here's a trick (don't tell anyone ;)). Duplicate the TIA layer and change it to curvature average in the dmj folder. Mess with the gradient and merge mode and see what happens. Also, it sure would be interesting to see a touch of texture :)

So satiny and smooth! How do you do this? Like an embroidered bridal pillow. Or a dream I once had about cauliflour that sparkled. (Helen, you know I love everything you do, but I can't help myself! Can you forgive me?)

Helen, this is absolutely exquisite and takes me back to wonderful memories of my childhood. Pure elegance is another thought that comes to my mind when I look at this.

Ahhh, Helen this is sooo sweet. What a treasure your image is and I'm peeking at Keith's notes over your shoulder(lol). It is perfectly beautiful how some of the pearls are kinda peering out from behind, tomorrow's little joys. Outstanding!
