Greetings!
Friday, November 18, 2011
Like any artist, I try to remember to take pictures of all of my finished work. Sometimes when I am in a hurry, it doesn't happen. Or, I don't look at the finished picture before I sell the piece and it turns out to be blurry, or too dark, or whatever.
I don't propose to say that I am any kind of professional photographer and I know I am not that great at setting up interesting layouts.
But, I have always wanted to reproduce images of my glass work to sell as greeting cards. I have a photographer friend, John Hummel, who told me about these fabulous folding cards that hold your 4 x 6" photo. I printed out a bunch of candidates for potential cards and these are the ones I ended up using.
I am considering selling them in sets as I have photographed them above. That way I don't end up with "orphans". Also, I think they have more impact and I can sell them at a better price that way. We'll see if there is any interest.
