Picture Perfect: Gossamer.

This Week's Picture Perfect Theme is:

Gossamer.

 

gossamer wings 2

The Gossamer of life

Fairy  wings,

And spider silk

Jupiter's rings

Gossamer is many things

The gauze fabric over the crib

To stop the mosquitoes from getting in

Sheer and fine

Gossamer is hard to define

I once used a Gossamer hair spray

To hold my hair and make it stay.

Below is my picture perfect for today.

The black fairy witch's fine black wings are on display.

I have edited this photo using flickr's edit and I inverted the image for dramatic effect giving I feel a very Gossamer effect. the photo at the top is the original view of these lovely costume fairy wings,

  9. To answer a couple of queries here. The photo was taken by myself in March this year at a fancy dress Birthday bash. I loved the gauzy black wings and asked the lady in the costume to hold for a moment while I took a photo. She obliged and I took the photo above first shot in normal and then the second shot of her wings from behind. The last shot I altered in Flickr edit. I think it is called Piknik. The original; Photo has been inverted and this is the result. The ladies sleeve on the right of the photo left as you view it has the look of spider web's and this effect has captured that too. All in all Gossamer feel.

  25. Love your gossamer wings and the poem you present them with! I hadn't thought of hairspray as being gossamer but it is!
