Monkey wrenching

#261
Source material: Wrench, railroad rust.
The wrench was scanned on my scanner and the background created by combining railroad rust with painting bands of color and color modifying in Photoshop. Brut force.


#260
Source material: Globe, privacy envelope pattern.
I keep coming back to this out-of-focus image. I had to research it again to remind myself what it was. I like that very much. The pattern overlay is from the inside of an envelope to disguise the contents.

Source material: Ashland cloudscape, cloud icon.
A failed attempt at "straight" photography: color modification, image manipulation (to move clouds into a different composition), and added pattern to contrast with the abstraction of subject matter.

Source material: Japanese Obi (thanks Laurie), cloud icon.
These two drapery studies came from the same material and went in different directions.
