Sunday Challenge No.09
„gadgets ie: appliance, apparatus, instrument, implement, tool, utensil, contrivance, contraption, machine, mechanism, device, labor-saving device, convenience, invention; informal gizmo, widget.

Process however you like. Try and make this at least a bit difficult if you will, choose processing you never would have, ladies get a gadget from hubby... hubby get into the kitchen-laundry room, whatever, and find something interesting in all those drawers! These are just suggestions, not necessary.“

A simple theme, which was difficult for me. In "gadgets" I think instinctively of gears. But I do not wanted to take apart a clock. Next, I remembered the egg shell breaking machine (in German „Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher“). Something I don´t have, because you just do not need it.
Then it should be something that yourself do not often use. Of this I have a whole kitchen full, because I never cook. The photo of the garlic press, however, was incredibly boring.
So I made the decision for the scissors. I first had a red pair of scissors, then there were two and now there are four. The miraculous multiplication scissors probably stems from the fact that I plug red scissors if they stay here, because I think it is mine. (If you have missed a red scissors so I probably have it ...)
I wanted to order the scissors nice and then be sure to use a sewing pattern as a texture. Unfortunately I do not own sewing patterns and images on the internet I did not want to steal. And Stock Photos are soooo expensive. So I chose to compromise and made a second photo of my paper cutter and placed it under it.
Here I have worked with layer masks in Photoshop, which I have not done often.
The Sunday Challenge is always so much fun, thank you, dear friends, that I can be there!

sooo YOU took my red scissors! I wondered where they went! This is fabulous Chrissy.
Here is a link to stock photo's, it's free and a bit hard to use but as long as you give credit all is good... I use it sometimes.
