Lovely projects. I too adore Twistables, but the small folk of the house have been removing the crayons out of ours. So we now just have the twist and no colour!

PS Fern - I forgot to ask you - pretty please can you include a post on how to set up a light box to photograph little things. It would be much appreciated!
I’m off to check Ebay again just in case someone has listed a mannequin…

Fern - thanks for your comment on Lizzie’s Home.

Your search for prints for your bedroom sparked my interest - would it be terribly impolite and improper to recommend my photographer hubby? LOL… Probably, but feel free to ignore regardless! *grin* They’re not ‘art prints’, obviously photographs, but you might still find something there you like (cheeky, aren’t I? LOL)

Curly Pops - Hmmm, have you seen the duct tape dress forms that you can make of your own figure? I wonder how it would go if you could build on that with papier mache, I think it would work but I’m not sure how professional it would look. Manequins are a PIA to find second hand, although a couple of years back my mum completely scored at a car boot and came home with 3 full body females, two male torsos and about 4 kids. It was particularly disturbing seeing the collection of limbs in garbage bags in the back of her little car.

Hi Fern. Thanks so much for the great advice - so simple but can make a huge difference. I’m going to borrow a camera, as mine isn’t really up to the job, and try taking some new piccies. Will let you know how I go. Thanks again, Christine.

Thanks for the great tips. My photography for the shop definitely needs improvement.
The hardest thing that I find to photograph are my aprons. I am desperately trying to find a second-hand mannequin to make it easier. There is no point in me trying to model the larger sizes that I make because they don’t fit me properly.

Hi Melisa,
I always export my pictures to a separate folder, that way I keep both the originals and edited versions and it’s easy to find which ones I want to use. When you’re exporting their is an option to resize

Select the images you want to resize then go… “File” > “Export Picture To Folder” and there’s a slide to change what size you’d like to make it :), there’s also an option to add a watermark which is also useful for selling online.

Hi, I’ve been using Picasa too for a while now. It’s very convenient, esp since Picasa 3 now has the retouch tool (perfect for removing pimples. lol!!).
Anyway, what I want to ask is, whether Picasa has a resize tool.
All this while I’ve been looking for it but I just can’t find it.

Thank you very much,
Melisa
