Day 2 and still going! Yay!
I got a late start tonight, so I made something easy. Magnets!
I got a late start tonight, so I made something easy. Magnets!
Four large and four small. All nature/woodsy themed. All adorable! We've got trees, birds, owls, a worm and a beaver. I think my favorite ones are the tiny owl and the tiny worm. They are the two on the far right. You know, the two that are the hardest to see!
They actually have to dry for about 24-48 hours before I can attach the magnet backs to them. The black magnet squares they are sitting on now are just so they can dry without sticking to the cardboard box lid. Why are they in a cardboard box lid? Cause my cat will play with them and ruin them the moment I walk away. Putting them in a lid or box or anything makes them mobile, and therefore hide-able. They are now safely hiding at the back of one of my shelves that is conveniently unreachable by cat. *insert evil laughter here*
I'm struggling with how to photograph them well. The light bounces off the glass creating reflections, the lens has trouble focusing on the pictures instead of the glass bubble, and the glass distorts the pictures, which in real life is awesome, but hard to capture the true image on camera. Anyone have any suggestions on how to photograph these better? I will be selling sets of these in my Etsy store eventually, so I'll need to photograph them well.
The added bonus of creating something every day is that I also have to post every day. And that will create some great habits for me as well as keep me honest.
I have also vowed to find a new blog or site or person in the online creative community every day of this challenge. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thanks for reading!
Happy Creating!
