By-products
I took some reference photos of wisteria today. Usually I aim for photos with a basic composition I can use, without them necessarily looking any good by themselves just as photos. I don’t pay much attention to lighting for example. Sometimes an interesting shot comes about as a by-product though.
I don’t think I can use my sewing-on-painted-silk technique with the wisteria one. The foreground element would be the wooden beams and the wisteria blossoms hanging behind are so faded and misty-looking they probably should be painted. It would be difficult to reproduce the wood with its smooth, weathered texture using thread. Overall I think the results would be odd, although I’m not ruling it out altogether!
And another of Whytecliff Park near Horseshoe Bay, BC, that’s just a little complex for me to attempt in stitching.
I’d rather see them posted on my blog than forgotten in my computer files, and who knows, maybe one day I’ll work them up into something!
