A Light Box!

Look what my wonderful dad made me, after my incessant complaining about taking photographs in a dark Victorian house

Isn’t it magnificent!  But this isn’t any light box, oh no, its a cardboard box with a large window cut out of the top and sides with white tissue paper stuck on and a sheet of white card proped up in the back!  Fantastic and best of all, it does make a difference AND it only cost me 2 bars of chocolate, love you dad!

And if that wasn’t enough to make me into the next David Bailey, this brilliant tutorial was linked to the ukhandmade blog.  It is so useful, simply written with great tips and there is a competition for the best photo which I may well enter now – so what do you think of the results of yesterdays photography session:

Flowered Clutch Bag

 

You may recognise the last one, It wasn’t quite right before, but I think its better now.  So this is what I’ve been working on for the last few days.   I’m really enjoying combining several techniques and working with patterns and bright colours.  As always this has led to more ideas – I’m thinking sort of sculptural.

That requires more thought though, and I need to post these on my Folksy shop and get on with my Art Trading Card’s, more about that later!

    Not fair! I had to make my own (and it’s falling apart now!). Absolutely loving these little bags/purses.
