Divisor Collage

Divisor, original collage on scribbled book cover

I love opening old books and finding their interiors full of scribbles. Discarded schoolbooks are more often than not filled with these treasures. This is the back cover of a State of Kansas, seventh grade arithmetic book from the 1930's. It was used by a kid named Bernie at one point in time.

My Outdoor Light Box

Looking down at my makeshift, outdoor light-box this morning I'm realizing that I'll need to start photographing indoors by a window soon. It was chilly and windy which is not a good combination when taking product photos. That cup of coffee was the only thing keeping my hands warm between shots! Yes, more holiday blocks are on the way into the shop.

Winter Light

Winter light can be so persistent and some days it's difficult to photograph pieces for the shop. I really should have taken the time by now to purchase or build a light box so I'm not always dependant on the weather. Anyhow, I thought I'd share my makeshift set up with you today. A layer of tissue paper on the window does wonders for diffusing the light.
