I’ve been
trying to take photos of my lace again and have decided that the best way of
doing it is to take close ups. It’s so difficult to get an overall view of most
of the larger projects I make and when I do manage it all the details get lost.
I also find with my net curtain and silk paper pieces that because they are
transparent, the background is important. It’s no good having an ethereal piece
of lace with an image of buildings behind it. I have tried taking photos in the
garden, and that was quite successful but the slightest breeze can move the
lace, which can lead to interesting effects but can be annoying, depending on
the piece. So today I have concentrated on close ups, the image above is from ‘Frayed
nerves’ which includes needle lace ‘nerves’ embedded in silk paper. I think the
close up makes an interesting image regardless of the subject and at least it
focuses on the lace!
