300 dpi scan – click to enlarge
Nearly missed the deadline for my own ‘Scandart Sunday’ (anything beginning with B theme)so somewhat hurriedly and randomly, I scattered the button box over the scanner bed and overlaid them with a piece of block weave canvas (Binca). The brilliance of the buttons is illuminated by the light source underneath whilst the definition is sufficiently bold when scanned at 300 dpi – enough to see the weave, as well as the cotton thread remains.
Editing the scan in SPE, I raised the definition and added a watercoloured background to give the impression that the buttons had leaked their colour. Over this, I laid Bonnie’s ‘Beauty is’ texture and added an embroidery style font.

This was great fun! I still have my Grandma Rhea’s button collection.
oh I loved my Grandmother’s buttons too – hence this was quite reminiscent
(if it’s not screwed to the floor, scan it. A much under rated tool to capture digital images.)
coming from you that is a real testament- am discovering the joys of scanning instead of just clicking
At college one of the younger students did a whole assignment using a scanner to take portraits and then full length portraits – now they were particularly affective.
the full length is interesting- bit by bit presumably?
Yes.
You would not want to happen upon the result in subdued light – very, eerie, other worldly.
You are inspiring me to try this out at some pint…love this!!
look forward to your scans Donna
