(Silly-Confession — for some reason, the last few weeks I’ve gotten mixed up if it’s Friday Photography or Photography Friday….. LOL)
Today I thought I’d feature a few photos that I took for props for my facebook (and eventually instagram) group. I’m going to take more pictures soon, and then I’ll do more of a behind-the-scenes sort of thing, showing some photos that I won’t keep. I am looking forward to that post.
I started with a set of photos of all the ‘pieces’. This included a stack of (blank) letters, a pinecone from down the street, a beautiful dried rose from up the street, a thoroughly-satisfactory pinwheel I’d made, a yummy oat biscuit dipped in chocolate that I’d made earlier in the week, and a beautiful Staffordshire Bouquet teacup and saucer.
A few interesting details about these props:
The ribbon around the letters was ‘hanging around’, and I tied it on to see what it looked like. I wasn’t planning on leaving it on, but then I forgot to remove it, and it looked so interesting and pretty in the photoshoot, that I just left it as is.
The pretty, rustic brown tablecloth probably should have been ironed… or at least the wrinkles a little more carefully placed. I didn’t iron it because, first of all, I was being lazy and wanted to ‘get on with it’, and I also liked the added rustic, comfortable look it gave. I felt like it fit Homespun Tabby with it’s imperfections.
The art on the pinwheel was inspired by Traditional Scandinavian Folk Art.
Finally, I picked up the rose a few months ago and it’s been sitting on our piano for a while. I was searching the house for some final, interesting prop, and thought the rose would give a nice touch.
This final photo is the cause of using my camera too long………….
I don’t know if I’ll keep it. It may come in handy, so I’ll keep it in case.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Happy Friday!
