Beauty in Everyday Things
I wish I could take wonderful photos like this and others that you can see here.
Nothing much creative happening at present. I'm busy ordering new dyes and making swatches, both fabric and wool, for the new colours I already have so I can put them in my customer newsletter.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful photograph.It's interesting that the image is of a very ordinary item but it looks other worldly. It reminds me of Edward Weston's pictures of vegetables. I love images that make you see common objects in a new light.
You could. It looks to me like a simple glycerin and water sprayed onto a similar kind of clear plastic as used to be used by Disney artists for their gels that would be placed over the background art. As court reporters, we used it for our transcript covers. This appears to have been curved over a light bulb. The needle and thread were carefully placed in the center, and the "pearls" of glycerin added with an eye dropper. Terry

what a wonderful blog. I am just a beginner in blogs and I hope I can show all my creations next time. But time is always too short. Grates Barbara
