Photos for the Northerner

-




I'm writing a small article for our local newspaper so Miss Birdie helped me with the photos..I'm not sure which I'm using but the top one is just for fun...what's the general opinion between the bottom 2? the camera can't seem to photograph both skin and glass at the same time ~ the bracelets look like lead..but que sera. I like them anyway..but which one?

the first of the 2 is my pick! she looks like a pro - modeling for you! and the pieces on this pic is clearer. that's just my opinion, though. have a great day

Well, I love the second one, the one where she is looking right into the camera. Can you tweak the bead colors some way so that they are more lively? Letting the pretty glass shine is important, but the model looking into the camera really makes a personal connection.

I love the top picture...looks like a healthy portion of beads...of the bottom two pics I prefer the one where she is looking at the camera...she's beautiful! Good luck with the article!

i agree.. the personal connection works! but all of them are effective, so go with your 'gut' instinct!

I like the last of all the photos. The one with her looking right into the lens is more powerful.

Creating an organic glass Bead

-
Image
I have a love for organic works of art..movement, line and color that mimic nature or are earth inspired... A push or subtle exaggeration of textures, color and movement ..all of those elements play a role in organics. Sometimes it's simply a matter of getting out of the way... Provide the right atomosphere.. The correct ratio of oxygen to fuel, that perfect combination of glasses and metals, the right temperature in your kiln for that particular glass.. don't forget to check the alignment of the stars ~ and then get out of the way..stop pushing and pulling with the form. Listen and see. ..allow the glass to be the star. Gravity, the glass itself, temperature and serendipity ...all combine to create an 'organic' piece of art~
