I used the "Craquelure" filter to create the rough texture. At least, it's rough from a distance. If you zoom in, it looks a bit like tiger stripes though. A funny coincidence. (And also, if you see distortions when you zoom in close on my images, I'm sorry. It might be an ipernity bug but I've been too busy to investigate that.) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2850 X 4500. See one original source here .

Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3225 X 3225 pixels. Colors suggest plastic “tortoiseshell” hair ornaments, hence the title. Have a great Sunday and new week. =^..^=

That last piece was pretty complex, so I went with something more simple this time. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2543 X 1843 pixels. If the title confuses you, see my Friday story here . Also, I built it mostly from a snippet of a paper collage: from 2017 .

At a weekend barbecue last Fall, a small kitten wandered out of the woods at our friends' place, looking for a home. We took care of him, briefly, but it was too late to save his life. It's been in my mind since then to do a small piece in his honor. Original size: 1000 X 1000 pixels. One source is here .
