when february started, this was my planned flash of red. but then i got sidetracked and then i completely forgot. but since december, for some reason i don't understand, henri russel would always come to mind. henri was a 365er, and one of my friends here, who succumbed to cancer two years ago. this brooch i discovered among my things around that time and posted a photo in tribute to henri. she was a very elegant and classy lady, from what i discerned from her photographs. i thought she had some resemblance to elizabeth taylor. every time i see this brooch which i keep in a special box in my closet, i think of henri and her natural elegance and beauty. i regret that i have not met her. henri, wherever you are, this, again, is for you!
when she started her project, she followed mine and one day i posted a photo on which i employed selective coloring. she liked it and asked me how to do it, so i gave her a step-by-step instructions (ribbet and picmonkey were then called picnik before the owners went their separate ways). the next day, she posted a photo of her mobile phone using selective colouring. i fav'd that photo, but unfortunately since her album had been deleted, the photo no longer displays in my favourites.
i debated against showing the red for this post but in the end i chose to have three flashes of red in this month's album. you will agree with me that leaving the brooch in black and white would not have worked anyway. 😜
I knew in a heartbeat whose photo this was. You have the ability to achieve the most elegant photos. This wouldn't have been the same without the red gemstone.
