Eggs or Water?

[perzephone]

My rows of turquoise beads look kind of like eggs. I'm liking the blue waves better than the red bars, especially because the blue thread I used is shiny shiny shiny. I'm going to pull the black border out & make a light brown 'hoop' with darker brown stitching, kind of like a dream-catcher or shield.


I took the photos outside & in my kitchen. All the lighting in our house is rather yellow. I don't know why, for sure. The lamp by my desk has a soft white bulb w/a deep green shade. Rob's light is the only one with an honest-to-goodness yellow lampshade. My flash also tends to overexpose things during the daytime. Of course, I took the first couple of photos outside in full sunlight, & the freaking sun made the cloth look glaringly overexposed.

Embroidery spam behind the cut :D

Warm light yellows things up, cool light blues them up, it's pretty much impossible to find 'neutral lighting' outside of 'daylight, lighting.' It's not as obvious to the naked eye, but is a bitch when it comes to taking photos.

I love that little dangly blue bead. What inspired you to start working on this? Will you do another one?
