Taking good photos of my finished work is not easy for me. I spent a long time, took almost 50 photos of five finished scarves, and ended up with five shots that are passable, but not great. I tried various props, lighting, and layouts. I tried with hanging and laying flat. Nothing wonderful happened….sigh. This is exactly why I have a professional photographer take my photos for jurying!
Anyway, for moderately successful amateur photographs of my last weaving, here goes, in order woven.
Black & white point twill shadow weave.
Brown silk with embedded sequins.
Hunter tencel with light green tencel spots.
Hunter with azure tencel spots. I thought this would be my favorite of the three, but it’s actually the two greens above.
Hunter with several colors of tencel spots.
Cherry and spice tencel ‘clasped blocks.’
I REALLY like the black and white, followed by number 5. The red, of course, stands alone!!
Your pictures look great…suggestion since your work is so beautiful, get a sewing bust/form, whatever it’s call you know the ones that stand on a pole with neck but no head, wrap your scarves around the neck would look so nice.
Thanks, Deb. I have one of those. My challenge with her is finding a solid white background to post her against.
I thought the red would be my favorite too, but it;s the black and white that calls to me. They’re all beautiful Peg.
I thought I would LOVE the black & white, Judy, but I only like it. Funny what speaks to us.
Now I’m a green girl and they are all gorgeous, but the cherry one does it for me.
I think your pics look very good BTW! Ad no Jack photo bombing! 😉
Jack is often not a photo bomber, Theresa, unlike your little guys. 🙂 I like the red, too.
