I have been trying to photograph most of my pieces as I make them, but when in "manufacture mode" I don't always do a good job. The worst problem from producing items for sale.
My latest romp with photography is to get a couple photos for the gift guide in the "Star Gazette" newspaper out of Elmira, NY. I am thrilled to be asked, but now have to come up with 2 photos to best represent me and my gift items.
In case anyone is wondering, check My Etsy Store later today. The wine bottle bag is about to be listed. Now to figure out how to let people get the idea of the size…… Maybe another wine bottle beside it. I'm afraid my favorite cobalt blue ones may take away from the bag.
While up to my armpits in quilts, etc. another hair-brained idea hit me (or actually hit me again… when that happes, I guess I should go for it), so stay in touch, especially if you are decorating your home or looking for gifts.
I will be presenting my "Fall Collection" of Quilts from 13×17" and smaller, Art Quilt Jewelry, Wine Bottle Bags, Bookmarks, etc. All available for purchase, at least to the first person who wants a particular item.
I am a former textile artist and new pattern designer with a degree in horticulture, wishing to share my love of nature, flowers and gardens with everyone through my photos, sunprinted fabrics, and now pattern designs. Chronic Lyme Disease has caused major changes to the direction my life. I have to limit the amount of time spent digging in my gardens, and quilting has become more difficult. I discovered pattern design as a way to get art back into my life. I now use my gardens and photos to inspire designs that can be used on fabrics and print on demand items.
