Cobalt Glass Photo Shoot
I have been thinking about my Blue and White calendar for 2019 which will feature my Blue Nordic dishes, decor items I have collected and the Cobalt Blue glass I have gathered in the last couple of years. I was trying to figure out what to use for a background when I discovered some inspiration on my Flickr feed - Blue Dimples taken by Susanne.
I had this sheet of textured acrylic that would do the job. Now I had to figure out how to help it stand vertically. I have several wood blocks with perpendicular slots in them that I figured would do the job. I have 6 of them and with a 2 tall supports behind at both ends it stood. The sheet is 48 inches wide so plenty of space in the center to set up my display without them interfering with my photo.
I am super pleased to have solved that problem so now I can move forward with my actual 12 layouts.

ReplyDeleteThe glass is beautiful and I studied the images for quite a while ... trying to learn (or pick up some of your photography talent by osmosis),
