94 Free Colorful Bokeh Textures

Today I'm releasing a huge pack 90+ of bokeh textures for you guys to use in your designs and photography. These were kindly provided by photographer Jill Wellington. A little more about her:

Jill Wellington is a portrait photographer in Michigan. She lives near Bronner's Christmas Wonderland, the world's largest Christmas store that glitters with millions of lights in every color. Jill loves to spend time at Bronner's capturing bokeh to use as photo backgrounds in her portraits. She is happy to share with others. Any and all can use them for personal or commercial use without credit. You can visit Jill's blog to see examples and how to use the backgrounds, plus pick up more free bokeh. You can also see examples on her photography website at jillwellingtonphotography.com

I've provided a small preview of ten of the bokeh textures below, you can download them all in a zip file at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

18 Hand Stained & Colored Paper Textures

I've got a highly useful set of stained paper textures for you guys today. These were made by using a combination of watercolors and food coloring to stain the paper. I then pressed some of them onto a plate of dried paint to give them a more grungy, block-print feel. I've seen a lot of people using these types of textures lately in digital illustration. Using the textures as an overlay in photoshop helps provide a feeling of handmade artwork. I hope you guys find them useful!

14 Free Simple Fabric Textures

Sometimes the most useful textures can also be the most simple. Today's set of fabric textures fall into that category. Maybe they're not the most complex or beautiful textures I've released, but they serve a great purpose to the design community. More and more these days people are incorporating the use of subtle tactile textures to bring a worn, real-world feeling to the work. If you think about it, fabric is one texture that all of us come in contact with every single day of our lives. It's familiar, and this translates well into design.
