At Flickr, some photographers will place a note, best on black. Click on their link and there is their photo with a black background. Usually they are right.
Mosaic Woman drapes our craft booth tables with black fabric while I get our lights set up. Then I take over one back corner for my stained glass, and she takes the rest for her mosaics. But a couple shows back, I thought... "maybe I should put some glass on the black fabric and encourage folk who seem interested to hold it up to the light." It worked and I made some sales.
With our last spring show coming up this weekend (May 2-3) over in Chester County, I decided to utilize that black fabric.
This week, I made three star flowers. Opalescent glass which is hard to show off at shows, however, on black it may look best...
Looks good to me!

THe black might be good for sales, but I like when you show them here actually hanging in the light...
ReplyDeleteOh ! They look good!! I like your idea that worked...encourage folks to hold them up to the light... Get them to participate and touch and take ownership....
ReplyDeleteAll-- thanks.
ReplyDeleteJim-- these three would not photograph well in the light and not look much different if I had tried. Though with that said, held up to a bright light they glow kind of nicely.
I think they're beautiful on the the black fabric. Good luck at the craft show!
ReplyDeleteKathryn-- Thanks. I have plenty of hope that this will be our best spring show of 2009.
