You may notice some few time lapses in my blog here, its not that I am ignoring you dear readers I am just getting used to a schedule change at work, some more exciting things that will remain secret for now (no I am not having a baby, I am not sure why thats what everybody thinks when I say that, is it my budda belly?) and most importantly getting ready for Artsfest! The summer is flying by and with the changing on the leaves comes time for me to panic about getting everything ready for my shows! So I could use a few opinions.
This is the Soulmates tiles, I am very pleased with the glaze its called Northern Lights and its one of my favorites! Do you think it needs a frame? I tend to lean towards keeping things simple which would be just putting the hanging hardware on it and selling it as is. But what do you think would a frame take it to the next level or be too much? And what kind of frame? This photo isn't great I am still learning how to photograph flat things.

This is a cat tile. I have tons of these! I had had hoped to do something more with them but I think I will sell them individually. That leads me to my question of how to hang them. One option would be as is with just the hardware, another would be put a frame of some kind around them as well. I don't really like the frame idea as these are items I can keep costs very low on and a frame would drive up the price. One idea would be to hang them with a loop of cute ribbon glued to the back, what do you think? Ideas, suggestions?Again I am learning how to photograph things that are flat and also things that have glaze, most of my work is red iron oxide so bear with me folks!
I am sure as Artsfest looms closer I will be asking for more thoughts on my work so stay tuned and wish me luck on getting it all done!
I vote no frames, I love the organic feeling of the rounded edges. Northern Lights looks really good!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I do with some of my wall pieces is hang it on the wall and photograph it there, you can get pretty good results if you play with the lighting.
I agree I like the round edges! Northern Lights is one of those Georgies sculpture glazes, love it! It fires really consistantly too!
ReplyDeleteGood idea about hanging things up, seems so simple so of course I never thought of it!
So what about the kitties, I need your brain! Maybe cute ribbon looped behind it? I will probably sell those for 5 to 8 bucks so just something to spruce it up a little!
