When I looked through my photos from this day, I almost dumped this one. Its pretty blurred. But there was something about it that I still liked, so I edited it a bit, grayed the image and kept it. It seems to capture little Sparkle's sweetness.
The same with this one. There just wasn't enough light for a non-photographer like me to get a good photo with no flash on. But it was such a sweet picture of the littlest fairy baby.
It makes me think about how many things I love that are flawed, but still beautiful in my eyes. Vintage, pre-loved, chipped, distressed, all are adjectives that make me happy.
Perfection is over rated!
This photo, too, was blurred. I used "soften" and a black and white tint, then a faded white matt on the edges. The photo itself might be blurry, but the faces of my girls are so happy, that I had to save this picture too.
Sometimes, using soften and toning down the colors makes a blurred photo have an "I meant to do that" attitude.
When this posts, I'll still be out of town, and won't be answering emails.
But please do leave a comment, it will enter you in the drawing for either a free online dress form class, or a kit to make the dress form if you've already paid for the $15 class.
Packages will be shipped after I return, but if you order the dress form class, I can send the password to you on my Ipad, from Indiana.
Karla those photos are beautiful. I like the slight blurry look sometimes as it adds a bit of mystery and dreamy-ness. Becs

Love those blurred photos on how the soften the feel up. I think I need to rethink my blurred photos.
The pics are gorgeous, you are so right, perfect is overrated!
I happen to love blurry photos…maybe ’cause that’s how I view life.
Love the fairy baby’s photo…very B.P.Gutmann.

I like the dreamy quality of the photos. It is our flaws that make us uniquely beautiful.
Lovely Photos, your are right flawed is just as beautiful and in some cases even more so because of it’s flaws.
I think the pictures all look great- I love the soft look of them, so dreamy!
I think the photos are picture perfect!
Love the dreamy quality of the photos! It doesn’t hurt one bit that the subjects are all such beauties!
Hope you’re having fun!

Just because something is flawed doesn’t mean that we can’t love it, does it? I love the slightly blurred photos. No everything I do is perfect. I’m so thankful that the Lord loves us anyway!
Your photos are stunning! I will certainly think twice before deleting a photo next time around:)
xo,
Abby
All the girls in your life are so beautiful!
Love Love Love your photos!
Love the photos and so glad you didn’t throw that one out!
I’ve been so MIA lately and on the road a lot, working when I’m not. So I’ve missed a good deal, far more than I can catch up on. But I was thrilled when my tag book was waiting for me as I returned home! Made me smile all over — your cover is beautiful, love how you wrapped it, everything. Thank you for taking all the time to do that.
I think both pics are precious. When I first looked at the pic (ALWAYS before I read any commentary,) I thought they were really pretty art pics and wanted to know how you got the effect. LOL they were MISTAKES???? Oh well just goes to show ART REALLY IS WHERE EVER YOU FIND IT!! My final comment ~ just keep making such pretty mistakes.
Hugs

This is a great way to salvage wonderful photos. Very clever of you my dear. I have been told that there are NO mistakes in art and I believe that to be true.
Oh Yes, please enter me in your drawing for the class. Thank you and safe travels…
