As I was tidying away my freshly washed laundry, I was struck by how nice all the pastel colours looked together.I am clearly a lace and floral fan!
This button collection came from a wonderful friend of my mother's. They are all vintage and the large green ones at the bottom are from the twenties!I can't wait to use them. Can you recommend any good projects using buttons?
ohmy, so adoravle buttons. hmm, maybe u should make a romper and use some of the buttons in the middle?
ReplyDeleteperhaps you could use the buttons to add a bit of sparkle to the rather lovely head bands you make

ReplyDeleteHi Clare-

It can be difficult trying to recreate the look of watercolours when scanning artworks. I find that scans never really give the true justice of an original piece.
Photoshop is a must - i fiddle around with the curves and saturation to bring the picture to life - as scans always seem to be rather dull and bland compared to the originals. You have to be quite gentle though, or you can wipe things out a bit.
although, Before i got photoshop i was just using the photo editing tools on my mac - gamma, contrast, etc, - but i found there wasn't so much fine control when using those.
Hope that helps!
basically, trial and error is the way to go. Wish i could offer some more steadfast advice.
Oh my, what lovely laundry you have! And buttons, well, I just adore buttons, especially those of the vintage persuasion. Thanks for stopping by my blog recently - nice to have you 'round x
