Although I&#8217;ve tried many different techniques, I&#8217;ve never managed to get what I consider to be a great picture of rayon chenille.  The fiber&#8217;s natural sheen causes light to bounce around a great deal, despite the various ways I&#8217;ve tried to minimize it.  Also, with this rayon chenille shawl, the color was a real challenge.  Either it was all REALLY blue, showing next to no purple, or it was washed out looking more gray than anything.  I probably took 20 shots of this handwoven shawl before I got one that I thought was worth using.<\/p>\n<p>Now for something else in shades of blue &#038; purple&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/toe-bl.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1101\" title=\"toe\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/toe-bl-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"sore toe\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Isn&#8217;t that attractive?  (Please ignore the fact that I have rather ugly feet, with a big bunion and toes that, at best, resemble cocktail wieners.)  I dropped a piece of firewood on my toe yesterday.  Not far, but it went down on end, and the edge of the firewood hit the toe really directly.  Now here&#8217;s the really amazing thing: doesn&#8217;t that look like it should hurt like hell, all swollen and black &amp; blue like that?  Well, it hardly hurts at all. \ud83d\ude42 \u00c2\u00a0Immediately after hitting it I elevated, iced, and rubbed in arnica oil whenever I could for the rest of the day.  And today it&#8217;s really not feeling bad at all.  I even got in 1\/2 mile of walking my dog.  Mind you, I&#8217;d usually have walked about 3 miles, but the single digit temps combined with the toe turned us around really quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your turn: got any good tricks, either for photographing rayon chenille or for keeping your toes safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently finished a beautiful handwoven shawl.
