I think I'm really enjoying this process I "created" and have dubbed it "distressed vintage" because of all the layering and painting I do while applying the sepia tone and vintage effects to the original shot. I loved the look of these Adirondack-like chairs covered with ivy.
i remember having a photo of meself when i was a little girl in a similar venue of ivy leaves in our backyard - no bench though. hmmm...gotta look for that photo. this really has an old/vintage photograph feel. great processing, i say!
I like how the chair is completely covered with leaves. It is part of the landscape. The processing is also cool, funny how we find a process we love and use it - I suppose it becomes a 'trademark look or style'.
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! You'll have to post it if you find it. @kerristephens Thanks Kerri! @homeschoolmom Thanks Lisa! @pandorasecho Thanks Dixie! I would have to agree with that assessment. (o: @allie912 Thank you Allison! @digitalrn Thank you Rick! You will have no problem finding them down by you. Happy hunting! @dibzgreasley Thanks Debs! It's tempting to do it on so many shots- but I'm trying not to go crazy with it. But I must say, I am a vintage kind of gal when it comes to decorating. @salza Thanks Sally! @susale Thanks Suse! I'm having fun developing this technique. @sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry!
@prttblues Thank you Bev! @axika Thank you Alexandra! And thank you so much for the fav! Don't be sad though- I think it was always decorative because there were plenty of others that were not overgrown plus a lovely gazebo too. And they were all obviously used.
You have captured the magic of what feels like discovering someone's long-lost secret, secluded hide-away...What a find! The warm and rich brown and gold tones of the distressed vintage finish remind me of buried treasure, too...Feels like an enchanted space where the imagination can run free. Would love to see it when it's all green again!
@gratefulness Thank you Sandi! It is actually quite green now as the ivy is green all year round. My processing just makes it look like it's brown. The house and garden belong to two extremely artistic people, so yes, it is quite magical. @daisymiller Thank you Daisy! @vesna0210 Thank you Vesna!
