I think this is my only one and you just need to think about the lighting and the composition when you shoot, so that the object is still recognizable. I also used Photoshop to process.
Here are a couple of mine.... I think perhaps I was lucky with the light but can't tell you what the formula was.

Braille (saccharin really, it was for a challenge)
I've done a few of these with varying levels of success.
I've had 2 problems - the lack of natural light in these winter months, and my computer monitor - is displays white colours way brighter than other monitors I view on, so I think I get it spot on, get to work and am like, ummm yeah, still yellow-ish off my kitchen lights.
I learn is to use light so it creates a bit of shadow for texture and depth, adjust white balance, brightness and contrast, and desaturation in editing.
@flossy_101 Gwen if you go to your photo and scroll down on the right hand side you will see a box that says copy and paste, just copy that, paste it here and when you hit Post Reply your photo will appear. Hope that helps and welcome. x

another not intended but worked out OK
I love looking at all of your work! I find it very inspirational. That horse shot is absolutely stunning. I love it!
