I love playing with Photoshop Elements. I’ve been using it quite a lot and learned even more from working on Charlotte Ziebarth’s new book Artistic Photo Quilts.

To create this image I took used two photos of an old wooden spool of thread. I took one looking down on the top of the spool and one from the front. Using layers I superimposed the top view on the front view, added a background color, then used blending modes (which I learned about from Charlotte’s book).  

What fun!
