I have been spending a good chunk of time working on still life photography as the weather outside is less conducive to being out with camera.
I filled a vintage hobnail candy dish with Christmas ornaments. I chose a variety of sizes, shapes and finishes. Some were shiny others matte; silver, green, red were the colors I chose; and I had round, pinecone, stars and hearts for shapes.
I decided to make the silver heart the focal element. Shiny surfaces are hard to photograph because your camera as well as anything else near ends up reflected in it`s surface.
This is a resin Nativity home decor item which I bought recently. I loved the colors in it and it had enough relief to make it interesting. It stands on it`s own. I created a gold background which mirrored it`s warm tones and provided a nice bokeh effect.
I am not providing an insert in my photo cards to it`s nice to have the sentiment on the front. I created on with a light sentiment but the one with the dark base is by far the best one.
I originally created this image for a
Christmas card order a while back.
This is one of my stained glass Nativities with a tealight in behind. I love the soft seamless background and how the pink is picked up on the bottom of the image.
I translated the image to a 4x6 format and printed a few in the different colors.
I have a good variety so they should appeal to quite a few buyers at the sale tomorrow.
I sold all 3 from the first batch so I made up a few more today and delivered them.
