This is what all the hoo-ha has been about, photographing my last series. I don't like flat textile photos and prefer more fold-y, bend-y shots, but this has been the most satisfactory showing the two sides of Piece #2.I've been working on the "Pacific" theme, and I wanted weave a Tapa-cloth-inspired series. #1 and #2 have been good; #3 I'm not too thrilled about.

I think you captured the Tapa-cloth weave perfectly. You do beautiful work and keep working on fold-y and bend-y shots. This is fine with me.

hope this helps
Thanks, Sue. I really like this pattern and am doing another one, narrower and finer, in natural and aqua blue just now.
ReplyDeleteKeith, thanks for the link, looks very interesting. (A wee bit above my head, but I'm sure Ben will cope.)
