To personify the dish scrubbers, I decided to draw faces on them with tape and purple Sharpie marker. This photograph was set up in my kitchen, using the overhead stove lights for the light source. In photoshop, I cropped the bottom of the image slightly and adjusted the overall contrast.
Using the same tape and purple Sharpie technique, I drew faces on a few roses sitting in a nearby vase. Mostly, I chose to focus on the expressions of each "face". That was the best way I could think of to personify inanimate objects. Using photoshop, I adjusted the tonal value of the piece, and increased the vibrance so the roses looked more colorful.
I had taken this photo on my phone, so the color balance of the raw photograph was simply awful. Luckily I fixed that in photoshop, by decreasing the amount of magenta and conversely increasing the amount of cyan. With the clone stamp tool, I tried to conceal the obvious tape lines so they wouldn't be distracting to the viewer. Similar to the other flower photo, I likewise increased the saturation and the contrast of the piece.
