Baubles

Abstract Thursday:  Baubles

A play in Affinity Photo for this week's colourful abstract challenge.

The original subject matter of this image was of a box of Christmas crackers.  I've created each bauble by taking a copy of the image and using a mirror filter to create a kaleidoscopic variant of that image. Those variants have then been distorted with a spherical filter to which I've in turn applied a lighting filter.  The original image was overpainted in black and white to give the impression of the snow fall and the baubles layered on top.  Easy when you know how!

Its the lad's Christmas curry night tonight - can't wait!
