Texture Tuesday - Stitch in Time in LaCanourgue, France
Here's another one of the historic street signs in La Canourgue, France. This one is for a seamstress/tailor shop with a wooden spool and metal needle and thread. I considered removing the wire above the spool, but it lined up parallel to the needle, and I decided to leave it for the sake of repetition and pattern.
Image Processing Recipe :
Layer 1 ) Background, cropped.
Layer 2) 2 Little Owls Artisan Texture 3(5) ; Multiply Blend Mode at 96% opacity
Layer 3) Copy Layer 2 ; Soft Light 96%
Layer 4) 2LO 3; Soft Light 51%
Layer 5) Kim Klassen's Sonnet 2 Overlay Texture ; Overlay 63%
Layer 6) Text - Aquiline 2 Font
Here's the original photo pretty much SOOC:
It just amazes me how textures can turn a blah picture into something much more interesting and artsy. Thank you, Texture-makers of the world!

Hi Michele! First time visiting from Kim's site ... and what an interesting street sign! Your processing makes it even more so! I would love to visit France, and I love textures, too ... they just add something special to our images! Have a wonderful day! :)
I'm enjoying your unique sign, and the processing you added! It is fantastic! You are always so creative!!
Fabulous! You are right, textures can make anything look good.
Your signs are most interesting. The processing is great.
This is so unique. I really like the way you explain the process. Stared my own blog and decided to do something similar.
