SPA-Celestial Navigation


My entry for this first of the New Year challenge. Steering by the stars--trusting the fixed points in my life and always setting my course by them. I hope it will be an interesting journey.

Texture pieces by Ka2rina and Karrie Amelia at Textures for Layers; the boat is a googled image of a toy yacht, I use this image a lot--it always signifies the soothing power and serenity of the sea to me. Photoshop brushes, layer styles and blending modes completed the piece.
