A Taste of Summer-Blackberries

I am a big fan of perusing food and lifestyle magazines! Because I am a Southerner through and through, I can hardly wait for my issue of Garden and Gun to arrive! This glossy high end magazine with beautiful photographs features the latest on everything Southern-food and drink, crafts, events and travel. I was very excited when in Day 12 of Beyond Beyond Layers, Kim challenged us to recreate or give our unique spin on a favorite page in a magazine using layers, text, images in Photoshop and Lightroom or tinting a photo black and white using graduated filters. My inspiration came from a promotional ad for the Sideboard, Garden and Gun Store a featuring fine artisanal foods for sale. I hope you enjoy my take on this ad. By the way, you can find the recipes here and here on my food blog, Cafe Lynnylu.

Beyond Beyond Layers-Days 8 and 9

Beyond Beyond Layers-Day 8-Chalk Love

Beyond Beyond Layers-Day 9-Text Play

I'm really enjoying Beyond Beyond Layers taught by the very talented arttist, Kim Klassen, but I' m

so behind on posting the lessons. Here are two from Day 8 and Day 9.  The first photo uses the magic film texture from the  Cloth and Paper Collection along with one of my favorite quotes regarding food and life. I first saw this quote on the wall of a restaurant at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam and upon further research found it was a Luciano Pavarotti quote. 

The second photo was taken with my iPhone 5 and needs no explanation as the quote says it all. The spice mix is called Baharat, a North African mix traditionally used to season lamb.
Looking forward to posting more from Beyond Beyond Layers soon.
