Using Photography To Create A Record of Your Creations


'Ladybird Mug Cosy'
Project 1

It's really great to see a project being made. 
What we look for in life is immediate results. There were immediate results crowding my mind as I was  working on my project and then getting the 'perfect' picture created and then edited. What we really should be grateful of is the journey. The time spent in the studio, getting the lights right and experimenting, and learning how things work if they go wrong. We all just seem to want to rush and then when we have got there…it's on to a new adventure. 

I like to make records of things. I also like to make things, and when I make things, they get separated from other projects and put behind cupboard doors and in storage. I decided that with all the things that I am starting to knit,  that I didn't want them to be separated. Some knits may be gifts, some may get lost. However, it's a good thing I like capturing things through photographs, and it is a great way to record things. 

With this photo book project, I'm going to combine my two creative loves and encase all my knitting projects in a photographic print form that will make think, 'Wow! I made that! I took that too!''

And this was what I was talking about in my first post of this year, doing the things that you love to do. Better more, not only do I combine two of my creative interests, I get to enjoy writing about them too.
