Quiet on the Set!

This week's Texture Tuesday challenge is to pick any movie or your favorite movie.  The photo has to go along with the title - combine it with any of Kim's textures. 

The movie I chose is "On the Waterfront".  I took the photo in the beautiful city of Rovinj, Croatia.  I used Kim's new texture "Just Stitched" and my own texture "Mashed Potatoes"; added a camera lens distortion vignette and called it done!


This challenge was so much fun, I kept going.  Being an art quilter, the movie "How To Make An American Quilt" starring Winona Ryder seemed appropriate. "Hyperbolic Paraboloid" is one of the first quilts I ever designed.  I made it in 2001.  The seams are all straight lines even though the overall impression is that of curves.  It measures 50"W x 50"L.

    This is a gorgeous photo and the processing fits it perfectly. How exciting about your trip to Spain and Portugal. What an adventure.

    stunning "On the Waterfront" - - I love how you've combined the two textures to give the image almost painted quality. Wow

    your waterfront is so pretty, the photo is a beauty in itself and the added textures make it even more stunning.

    thanks for stopping by at my TT-post (#15) If you have a chance do see 'Himalaya', that movie is surely touching.

    What a beautiful shot. I bet it's even more beautiful in person. I love the texture you chose, it gave it such an old canvas feel to it.

    Wonderful.

    Hyperbolic indeed!
    This word ought to be turned into an adjective of approbation.
    The picturebook water scene turned into a storybook backdrop for a movie. So inventive.
