professional?

Last weekend I spent the majority of the time beading, thinking about beading, or mentally designing or arranging flowers. I mentioned a while ago that the website is going to get a little spring cleaning soon. The major thing change is to organize the gallery section. But before I can do what I want to do with it I need better quality pictures. As close to professional quality as possible. I’m not really sure what professional quality is, but I need to get there. Here is a pic of a new bouquet. I took the picture using a sheet over my Ott light, and I’m still getting hot spots although not as bad. But the colors themselves are a lot closer to real life than I was getting before.  You can see the difference in the second picture.  That is the same bouquet I posted a picture of here.  Maybe I can learn some photoshop techniques to tone down the hot spots and crop out the folds in the background. But whattcha think? is the photo professional enough?

The actual beading that I worked on was a combination of the winter bouquet and leaves for a single flower. The single flower is approximately 5-6 inches in diameter and I made enough leaves to wrap around the flower twice! I used over 100 feet of wire on leaves alone. It’s a good think I bought green seed beads by the kilo on my last large bead order.

Last night I took a break from beads and flowers. I’m not sure what the plan is for the nights the rest of the week. But next weekend’s plans have not worked out so I’m sure I’ll be taking more photos and lacing up a ton of leaves!
