A Reflection of ME!

WALLAAAA - remember the white felted with the red splotches below?

WELLLLLLLLLL
THAT WASN'T HARD TO GUESS!

MY POINTSETTIA'S!
!!!!!!

My camera batteries were getting a bit low and I'm not fully ready (at least not at this moment) to put it out for sale yet - so I grabbed some of my Dollar Store purchases and other goodies and began fooling around (staging - technical word, you know - ha ha)..............


My felted lambs/ram



I used the p;lacemat and put the Points and easel on it.  Sometimes when I shoot I don't want to show my house - only because I would be using it over and over again.  So, with the Quilts, I lay them down.  Then I can zoom in.


I thought that the easel looked a bit flat because the back leg is a little bit on the same plane as the other two.  So, I used a hunk (not technical) of embroidery thread to prop it up.



I thought this would make it look like it was standing.

Then I shot and now I've cropped the picture and it makes no difference!  Even before I cropped it, it didn't make any difference.  Now, what I could have done was drape the placement over something and shot it with the easel standing (da).  OK, small lesson learned.

THENNNN,  I used the ball ornaments - great idea, Connie! - add some shine.


Not bad - now what do you see in the picture that should NOT be there!!!!!!

Gorgeous picture - beautiful white background - again, what do you SEE?





The pictures above seem fine - I've learned my lesson with SHINY ORNAMENTS -

I KNOW MY FELTEDS ARE A REFLECTION OF ME

BUT THERE IS A LIMIT!

Back to the drawing board!!!!
