Then, we should follow somehow the standarts of fashion world.<BR/>And, last but not least: our customers want to see how the item looks on a person, not on a tree...They don't have a possibility to try it, like in a normal shop.<BR/>So, I would repeat again my conclusion: present our items on humans :), avoid temptation to be models ourselves (unless VERY pretty) and look for models around.<BR/> I've recently purchased a mannequin, but it's not a hundred percent solution, I would say. <BR/>OlgaEtsy Felting Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128064329097067502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678627134083110678.post-34805997443523271102009-02-25T11:51:00.000+00:002009-02-25T11:51:00.000+00:00Libby - the scarf is a work of art, thank you for ...Libby - the scarf is a work of art, thank you for putting up the photo. I think it would look lovely draped on a tree branch - it's always so hard to capture things in the right setting.Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638424388530718289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678627134083110678.post-84323581103293567442009-02-24T21:58:00.000+00:002009-02-24T21:58:00.000+00:00Hi Libby, I'll wait for your new photos!It will be...Hi Libby, I'll wait for your new photos!<BR/>It will be very interesting to see a couple of photos of your studio, too.<BR/>Have a nice day<BR/>Olga<BR/>P.S.<BR/>By the way, could you please remove your "try" post (below)?Etsy Felting Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128064329097067502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678627134083110678.post-69693786039984540312009-02-24T17:34:00.000+00:002009-02-24T17:34:00.000+00:00I am definitely going to do a reshoot on that one....I am definitely going to do a reshoot on that one. I do have a mannequin and will try it on her. We also had some trees come down in our front yard and I want to try drapping over the tree limbs too. Anyone think that would be a good shot?FiberArtisttoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817615269771829267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678627134083110678.post-60050495963217902642009-02-24T16:32:00.000+00:002009-02-24T16:32:00.000+00:00Hi Libby,yes, your are absolutely right: the photo...Hi Libby,<BR/>yes, your are absolutely right: the photo is not good. And it is not about beauty, but you look somehow angry and bored. Better not to show such photos at all...<BR/><BR/>Any other opinions?<BR/><BR/>I would even say, that such stuff, artistic, extravagant things look OK only on models...if it is difficult to find one, use mannequin or just a sculpture as you do.<BR/>Any other opinions...?Etsy Felting Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128064329097067502noreply@blogger.com
