By day, I'm a digital media designer. But whenever I get the chance, I love taking pics. These days, I absolutely love playing with my iPhone and apps like Hipstamatic and Instagram... so much so that I rarely use my 'real' camera anymore! I love toy cameras, but can't afford the film and processing, so the iPhone is a fab substitute.

TEXTURE ADDICTS

I created a group for people who love to play with textures - mine or others - and would like to invite you to join! Come play and share with me at NinianLif's texture addicts. I look forward to seeing your images in the group pool soon!

Check out my free texture images, which are available for you to download and play with, royalty free. All I ask is a credit and link back if you feel like it.

For those curious as to how the texture images are made, I make them by creating a charcoal drawing/rubbing first on different paper stocks. I photograph or scan these, using the rough edges of the paper as the black frames for the texture. Then I overlay subtle texture photographs from my stock library (my own work) until I have a texture base I'm happy with. Sometimes I add a colour layer as well.

    "so happy to give a well deserved first testimonial to Bea/NinianLif - her images are colorful and quirky - fabulous dreamscapes. don't miss her fine art collection - the range here is wonderful. the icing on the cake is her generosity. I had been wanting to work with textures and was very disappointed in the attempts I had made trying to create textures with my own images. Bea helped me so much with her generosity of free textures. thank you thank you thank you. you rock!"
