Bibs

I've been trying to get these bad boys listed in the Etsy shop for a while now.  I'm having a hard time with my photos.  I can't seem to get enough light and certain fabrics always seem to give me trouble.  I've tried a light box and I'm still not satisfied.  This last series I shot outside on the patio over a piece of tagboard.  They came out fairly well but I would still like an even lighter background.  I see a lot of people photographing their cute handmade goods hanging from clothespins on a line, or against a fence or a distressed wooden door.  I have to admit, I like that look and am considering giving it a shot, even though I think it's pretty played out.  Natural light is certainly the best way to capture the trueness of fabric.  We have a great yard here in Kailua and I think tomorrow we'll have some fun with these kinds of pictures.

In the meantime, I've started a Flickr account.  I've been messing with their editing program Aviary, and can now create mosaics using Big Huge Labs.  You can see the start of my photostream here.  I'm still getting organized so don't judge me!

I've also added "Wicked Awesome" up there in the right margin of this blog.  This, of course, is in the spirit of my friends from Boston.  If you see something wicked awesome in the worldwide sewing web, send me the link and I'll feature it.  This button changes frequently!
