Welcome to the Fantastic Flypaper Black Friday Sale where we have a whopping 30% off all our products!
Now is your chance to catch up with all the missing texture packs from your collection!!

We hope you’re all having fun conjuring up some magical images with our new Alchemy textures! I’ve discovered they work particularly well as backgrounds, they’re great to use in still lifes for example, they’re also good and adding interest to skies. So I thought I’d try them out on this recent cherry blossom photo.

Vintage Seed Packet Labels

We love collections here at Flypaper HQ and as we’re both keen gardeners we were delighted to come across these two huge sets of vintage French seed pack illustrations at a local flea market store in Burgundy, France.

These scrumptiously coloured labels were printed from the mid to late 1800’s using a rich multi-layered chromolithograph printing process that ceased being used over 100 years ago so they are now almost certainly out of Copyright.

Between a rock and a hard place

Because of Covid restrictions, I’ve been going through my back catalogue and came up with this image from 10 years ago, taken at the base of the chalk cliffs on the edge of England’s Eastbourne on the south coast.

Luminar ai sky

Before the bleak mid-winter sets in, or high summer for our lucky Oz/Nz fans, we thought you’d like to hear about this fab new Luminar ai app which is a stand-alone app and/or works with Photoshop and Lightroom to breathe new life into your boring or blown-out skies, filling negative space from a list of included skies that come pre-packed inside the app or upload your own skies

Canvas Texture Selection Launch

After receiving many requests over the years for an artist’s canvas themed pack we finally pulled this selection together from all our packs and then created almost half as many more new textures, filling gaps in the collection with natural burlap, rough dark linen, tinted canvas and much more.

Golden Pears

We hope you’re enjoying the new Impressionist Painterly pack as much as we are!
I thought I’d share how I processed these pears with the new textures. I’m sure you’ll agree that the beginning image was very flat so I decided to add a couple of Impressionist textures and voila….it’s turned an ordinary pear photo into something special.
