I was about to take the yellow roses that my Dad brought out to the compost when I noticed that they had dried so beautifully . What a perfect opportunity to practice some still life photography.

This mosaic was done using the same subject but using a template sent to me from Kristy at lnr-laboratory. She does some amazing things with Photoshop and allows us to add our own contents to her templates. You can see I spend far too much time in front of this computer. Give her a visit and try some out too.
I am posting to our Mosaic Monday hostess Mary and to lnr-laboratory to share my finished template. Hope you have a wonderful week.

I think your mosaic and photos of the faded rose is wonderful. I especially loved what you did with the second mosaic, you did great.
Beautiful :-)
Oh Val, That is a stunning mosaic. I love the pictures of the rose and pearls. Must find some sheets of music. Take care and have a wonderful week.
Hi Valerie. Your photos turned out so beautiful. You created a beautiful collage.
The antiqued look of the Faded Rose is gorgeous. I will have to visit Kristi's site.
Even in the dying there is great beauty! Marvellous mosaics!
Your mosaics are both really beautiful. Love the color of the rose against all the backgrounds. The second mosaic is very artistic with addes elements of frame and the collage look. Great job....and thanks for the link. It's always fun to try new layouts.
Hi Val
Both of your mosaics turned out really well. The second one has a nice vintage appearance.

Roses and pearls - nothing more romantic or beautiful.
The second mosaic is really a work of art! It would be beautiful printed out and framed! Happy Monday! ♥
A truly beautiful mosaic. I already spend far too much time on the computer and now you're tempting me even more. :D

I think using the faded/dried rose was very clever. Experimenting is a great way to learn and you've done a spectacular job! Well done and fun!

Very nice idea and one can see your efforts!

Your faded rose mosaic so creative! I love the female cardinal in your blog header ;o)
Your faded yellow rose is so perfect and you did a wonderful job portraying it in so mnay beautiful ways. I like both mosaics very much!
Hi Val, I love how you've captured the delicate, faded beauty of those roses. Those images themselves are lovely but the textured mosaic images are gorgeous. And I think you are very imaginative! Wishing you a wonderful week. – g
I like how you played with the faded rose!
When I saw your mosaic I immediately thought of my Grandmother. The pears and soft colours are lovely!
I used roses for my Prairie collage for LNR Lab, too! Here: http://joyinsimplephotos.blogspot.com/2011/01/lnr-lab-prairie-collage.html
