1 Wet

Apologies for my absence. I’ve been a bit under the weather the last few days, but I’m perking up and nothing made me feel better than the new release from *ARGRACE* called HIKARI. It’s wet. Yep, it really does look like wet hair! I paired it with one of my very few must-haves from Summerfest ’14, this bathing suit from Valentina E. All I needed to do was dive into the ocean and start snapping!

Well, not exactly. While the hair does look wet, the suit and my skin didn’t. Fortunately, I recently watched a video tutorial on using the Plastic Wrap filter in the Photoshop Filter Gallery to mimic wet surfaces. Once I had done my basic edits, I applied the filter followed by a layer mask to remove and lighten parts of the effect, tossed in a few extra water droplets and came up with the final image. This is the first time I have used this filter and added water drops with a brush and I was rather pleased with the result. You can flick over to my Flickr stream to see a higher resolution photo.

Time to go towel off now…who wants to dry my back? 😉

1 My Buddy & Me

Edit: Rhapsody is now open. Click the link to start shopping!

Meet my new buddy. I call him Roscoe. I think he’s kind of awesome. He’s strong and good looking and doesn’t mind if I lean on him. I think we’ll have a long friendship.

And guess what? You can have Roscoe, too! He’s a gift, along with the pose, at Rhapsody! All you have to do is pop in when it opens and pick it up from the Nani booth in the Country section. They have some adorable country-themed poses and props that I’m itching to try out.

You can also pick up this adorable skirt from Coquet. while you’re stomping around in the Country at Rhapsody. It is uber cute and comes in three different textures. I just love it with my boots and cowboy hat!

Rhapsody opens at noon on June 28th. You can check out the link to the blog for more information and I’ll be sure to update with a SLurl when the the event opens. In the meantime, take a look at the map to get an idea about who is where and what strikes your fancy:
