Adding Textures to Photos

May17

I used Daily Textures and Magnolia Textures to emphasize what I wanted to and exclude the rest. On the zinnia and hummingbird picture, I used the same texture both around the flowers as a background and another on top.

If I had my feeders away from the shrubs, then I could capture a creamy background instead. But the birds like the protection of the vegetation. We have shinned-tail hawks out here that would love to swoop down and have a nice meal too.

I have 3,000 words to go on Red Wolf to make 80,000 words, the minimum word count. Hope to get that today!

I’m on a NO chocolate, NO chips diet. I’ve been doing it for 4 days and feel so much better, lost 3 lbs right away. I don’t eat a lot of processed foods, so no sugar added that way. Yay!

Today, I found this article on sugar and how bad it can be for you. Brain fog? Okay, anything that messes with my writing can’t be good for me.

I needed this!

I’m off to write. Have a super safe and for me, sugar and chips free day. You can’t only eat one.

Using Textures & Demon Hunter is Out!

Jan22

If you work with Photoshop layers, or other programs that allow you to work with them, I learned about free textures you can use in your work.

Some of the photos I was playing with.

So my doctor called and said that the test did come back for strep throat. She said the in-house test showed it wasn’t. No wonder I was feeling so bad! Anyway, the antibiotics are really helping and I’m feeling much better.

I finally finished up the Demon Guard book 3! I’ve had a lot of inquiries, but never the time to do it. It’s still not available on all the sites, but will be soon.  Sorry for taking so long on it! 🙂

 Demon-Hunter-Kobo
Demon Hunter
Demon Guardian Series: Book 3
The Demon Guardians are back…

Hunter is half a Matusa demon, determined to help his human-raised demon friends return to the demon world to find their families. And to help Alana learn a way to keep portals from pulling her to them, and getting herself into all kinds of trouble. Not that she can’t handle some of the trouble on her own. She’s a half demon too, and half witch. Jared is looking for his parents. Celeste is looking for hers. Samson is there to protect Alana, though Hunter keeps reminding him Alana is his to protect.

It was a simple mission, but nothing for the demon guardians is ever simple. Between dealing with a demon who is organizing demon hunters—who go after Hunter and his friends, a major train wreck, and all sorts of havoc, it’s no wonder the demon gate guardians end up calling in reinforcements this time.

As long as Hunter can get Alana to agree to be his mate, he can save the world. Alana will never give up her hot demon, but she believes he should work a little harder to prove he is the one for her. And he’s not going to give up trying to convince her either. But they still have one little problem: staying alive long enough to do it.

 

 

 I’m off to take my medicine! Have a strep throat-free day!!

Updating files this morning before I get to work on rereading Billionaire in Wolf’s Clothing. Made all the changes I think I needed to, so hopefully this will be the final read before I turn it in.

Takes forever for my files to upload, soooo while I was waiting, I was looking at background textures for fun and for working on book covers.

And then I had to play around with them! So these are some of the variations on the original photo of the iris I took this spring.

Which do you like the best?
