My goodness, the half way mark came and went quicker than you could blink an eye, and we are heading into our downward spiral of the second round coming to a close. Only 22 more weeks left! Makes you realise just how soon it will be Christmas huh? LOL!
Anyway, when it came to the Colour Challenge this week I was quite literally stumped. I had NO IDEA and to make it worse when I looked back over past colours there seemed to be a fair few in this week's very colour range. I groaned and braced myself to find something in my wardrobe... There was nothing, at least nothing close to the colour swatch provided by Luna, and gradually a sense of desperation began drawing in. I would NOT be beaten, and then like a shiny treasure chest, I spotted my Crazy Ass Hair Folder - it had worked once, maybe, just maybe it could work for me again?
I LOVE my Crazy Ass Hair Folder... It's a real treasure trove I swear, and this time - as with last time - it didn't fail me. My entire look this week was due to my hair! Then the skin fell into place, and the outfit, even though I cheated as I wore this outfit last challenge round too, yet I didn't wear the full outfit this time - does that make it OK?

I know that I have been a mermaid in this round of the challenge, but technically I am not a mermaid for this look LOL - I'm a water sprite! Riding the current in the warm tropical water, it would seem! Boy did capturing this photo give me head rush though, I was suspended upside down LOL - made me feel disorientated just by looking at me LOL!
OH and during post processing - because YES I put in a background, gave myself a few more fish around the head area and added that rainbow sparkly effect, I had what I have been referring to as a happy accident. I love this second picture SO MUCH, that I have decided to include it, even though I couldn't use it as it was just TOO washed out of the blue colour (not that I don't love the first one too btw!)
Next Week - Wales

for once, you do not make us laugh, but gasp in wonder at the beauty of your sea swirl !
ReplyDeletei totally can feel with you, adding a picture that you love so much. I often do the same.. just add because i love the picture so much. Did it for this ColorChallenge too at the end of my post.. your picture Rudh is GORGEOUS ( both are)
ReplyDeleteLove your no-mermaid!
ReplyDeleteJust Amazing !!!
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures Rudh I love both of them, gorgeous non-mermaid :)
ReplyDeleteAw Rudhie the Crazy Ass Hair worked again! Love both the pics :)
ReplyDeleteI occasionally add a version that has nothing to do with life the universe and everything too :P
♥Lau
That is stunningly beautiful, absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! What a free spirit (or sprite). A fantasy shot so well done like that really draws me in. Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteSo strange that we managed to pull off similar avatars this time, you a sea sprite, me a rain spirit - and I truly wasn't copying you, though your post might have reminded me about my YIPs water drops. I seem to remember the outfit was blue but it changed to gold in both those pics! You know how much I love the gold one although the blue one is cool too. This is a really gorgeous outfit, well done :)
ReplyDeleteI know I already gushed about this pic on Flickr. But I just have to re-gush. LOL. I do love this last photo, it will forever go down as one of my all time favs and probably my fav of you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove it Rudh...I wish I had a crazy ass hair folder...because as of right now....i am stumped as well. We will see...maybe I will be bowled over by some inspiration LOL!!!
