I actually like to walk the beach when it's overcast and stormy - unless there is lightening. Then I prefer a safer venue.
Someone asked about my set up for taking inchie pictures...
I folded a piece of heavy cardboard (6" X 12") in half. And then I cut white piece of paper and placed it over the cardboard to cut the shine. I also cut a piece of black construction paper that would fit over the cardboard for taking pictures with a black background.
I then took two pieces of black construction paper (9" X 12") and folded in half. Then I place the folded cardboard between the two pieces of black construction paper. If needed, I can place a piece of construction paper over the top. Works fine for me and it folds up very nicely when I do not need it.
Here's INCHIE CHALLENGE 13. I call it The Weaving...
For the background, I used a candy wrapper (cleaned, of course) to cover the base. I then took two contrasting pieces of heavy handmade paper, cutting one into strips and the other into fringe. I then wove the two together.
It was actually a bit more time consuming than I thought it would be, but the results were quite unique. The photo does not capture the texture as much as I would like. I was going to add something on top of the weaving but I liked the woven texture so much I chose not to add anything.
Well, I hear the thunder in the background, so I will post this now before the storm hits. Hope you have a great day...
Thanks for stopping by...
See you tomorrow...
