Product Details
Our luxuriously soft blankets are available in two different sizes and feature incredible artwork on the top surface. The bottom surface is white. Our 100% polyester blankets are available in two different styles: plush fleece and sherpa fleece. Plush fleece blankets are soft and fluffy on both sides, whereas sherpa blankets are smooth like a soft sweater on the artwork side (i.e. shorter threads) which provides for a sharper image. Looking for a recommendation? Go with a 60" x 80" plush fleece blanket. It's soft and luxurious on both sides... the artwork looks incredible... and the size is just right for everyone.

This is actually a white dahlia, and it ended up black purely by accident. I was using a “selective color” adjustment layer in Photoshop to remove some gray in the petals, and I happened to move the black slider to the right instead of the left and I just loved the way the flower looked!
Of course I wasn’t happy with the background, so I isolated the flower and put a base texture (Vintage Clouds from French Kiss Textures) behind it. And then the fun begins…
I thought the flower needs more definition so I ran the Photoshop Poster Edges filter, and moved on to the background. I used several layers of Metallurgy from French Kiss Impressions V.4 set to different blend modes and opacities and finished it off with the grungy flourish from the French Script brushes, also from French Kiss Textures.

I have enjoyed photographing nature since I first learned to use a camera more advanced than my childhood Instamatic! When my husband Rick and I bought our home in Massachusetts back in 1979, we fell in love with the beautiful wooded wetland behind the house, and over the years we have come to love it even more. We also love gardening and the original property was mostly lawn. Over time we updated the landscape many times, and recently we added a naturalistic woodland garden near the wetlands and more cultivated gardens in the front and side yards. I love photographing flowers, and many of my flower photos were taken in our yard or at three very special botanical gardens in New England: Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston,...
