Five opals & opal textures to use for jewelry & decor.
One of the things I like doing to zone out is to try and create multicolor textures. They're a lot of fun, and an odd challenge to do. So here's 5 different opal colors for texturing, backgrounds, jewelry, decoration, embelishment, emblems, brooches, earrings, rings, and so on. :D
The five types are:
- Pink opal, an opal that is more common. It's solid and not transparent, with not "color-play" (rainbow effect) to it. Still pretty!
- Black opal, a dark opal with colorful flecks. Usually a bit transparent.
- White opal, classic & shimmery. Can be solid or transparent, more valuable ones have color-play (rainbow) to them.
- Fire opal, filled with warm colors & usually semi-transparent.
- "Blue Green Opal" - I was trying for a blue opal but made a more green one instead. Oops. Still fun to use, & looks like the earth or a kelp field in the ocean.
Opals come in many shapes, and they make for a cool wallpaper or cloth texture, so I included the repeating textures as well. They all tile & have a few variations to them.
The textures are below:
The two purple ones are transparent layers that look great in "Add (glow)", "Glow Dodge", and "Overlay", so you can use them for a speckled holographic or iridescent effect.
Here's an example of using the opal texture in a custom decoration:
You can carve a lot of neat things with opal. Search online museum catalogues and handmade jewelry stores for ideas. :D
