...I've been taking an online class...
...given by the most talented teacher...
...the class is called 'Beyond Layers'...
...taught by Kim Klassen...
...sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with assignments...
...but I decided to share this one...
...we were to photograph a cup, book and one other object...
...then process it using at least one of her textures...
...she names her textures...
...the two I used are called chaos and calamity...
...Kim is the most generous person...
...if you want to learn more about using Photoshop...
...I would highly recommend taking one of her online classes...
...I chose a tiny white cup...
...a real bird's nest...
...and the most wonderful book...
...published in 1873...
...the author thinks she has all the answers for women...
...I snapped and snapped...
...digital photography is so fun that way...
...no worries about the time and cost of developing film..
...this is the version I finally decided upon...
...I like the vintage tones...
...I also adore the idea that...
...what women should know is all written in a book...
...so simple...
...as I searched for the perfect quote to end this post...
...I found this...
...hope you enjoy it...
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
