The Artful Diva: kinfolk

kinfolk - cover girl

I heard about Kinfolk Magazine and had to have it. Volume Seven arrived today. This is a great magazine - filled with inspiration.

I loved the cover photo and thought I'd see if I could produce a picture anywhere close - not really - but it was fun trying nonetheless!

(Adding a gaussian blur sure helps one appear to have flawless skin - less wrinkled anyway! This is a trick I learned from my gal pal Doris Day...remember her?)

Lynne with an e said...: This is a beautiful photo! I love the shadow falling on your shirt from the daffodils, and how the leaf pattern mixes with it, binding the bouquet to you. And you look at least as lovely as Doris Day ever did!; March 23, 2013 at 9:42 PM
