Also, while I'm here I'm going to plug my workshops. The felted bag workshop is sold out, but there are 4 places left on the felted flowers and 7 places left on the nuno felted shawl workshops. For information on dates, times and venue just visit my shop and click on the relevant workshop listing.

any ideas?
I'm still really busy working on orders from the BCTF, but I thought I'd quickly write a post and share one of my latest bags with you (whilst on my lunch break). This is a simple design which I made for myself it's made from natural brown merino and blue faced leicester. I jazzed it up with one of my little bird brooches.
As the title suggests I need your help, does anyone have any advice on photographing bags. I always struggle, they're too big to fit in the light box and until my daughter enters her teens I don't have a model to hand. To take this picture I hung it on a nail which is not very artistic.

I love the bag and the brooch, together they are perfection. I struggle with photographing bags too. The only suggestion I have is using a tripod and timer on your camera and using yourself as a model.
I like the simple look, as it is, but then you could always just get a vintage hook.....Kx
oohh love that bag with the birdie brooch! Re photographing bags, I have never done this but there is another blogger at http://emma-bagladee.blogspot.com/ who sells bags so may be able to give advice.
Maybe, as designer makers, we could do with a short course on how to photograph our work ! giggle giggle!
Photographing art glass is a real challenge !.
I think your bag looks great, and no fancy hook to detract from the beauty of your work. You could try a coat hook (after all, us girls do hang our bags on them). Or an over-the-door hook. Keep it simple. The bag looks smashing.
Beautiful bag!Please take a look at my blog with "hanging" bag. Nice greatings from Holland, Claudia
thanks ...
wish we were closer ..
have a wonderful week
I think it is useful to be able to estimate the size of the bag from first glance - which would mean using a person or placing it with some object like the suggested coat hooks (or a coat hanger, chair etc)
The bag looks great - by the way!
ovenI just love your work!! Looking forward to see your new website.
I just started felting last year and I'm addicted. Do a lot of nunofelting and recently started fleece felting and a new world opened. Lots of succes. Ill follow you.
Back to nature. Hang it on a branch of a tree or drape it over a large stone?
Sometimes i don't take whole picture of my product, getting a closer detail is needed on several item. I personally would love to do "macro" on laying bag and focused it on the bird.
