Lily and the Peacock

4/27/2019

I finally took some photos with the peacock needlepoint that my sister did for me. She was working on it when I was shooting the Victorian pillow story, but it was a lot of work, and came too late. Plus I didn't really want it to be part of the Victorian pillow collection anyways. It was always meant to go in a blue 'peacock' room, with the blue velvet sofa my granddaughters gave me.

Anyways, I've had it for quite a while already, and haven't made it into a pillow yet, because I was waiting to photograph it as a needlepoint 'under construction' by someone. But who???

So today I finally set up a little scene, and got down on the floor to take photos....

Lily is such a beautiful doll, and now it seems she is quite talented at needlepoint as well. I love how her gown has all the colours she is using in her work. The photos are lovely.

I wanted a bit of a 'medieval' feel to the photo - even though the painting frame is anything but - so that's why I chose Lily.

She is so pretty.
I recognize the "set" for these shots. You have trained my eye to look for these things (smile).
I love the photographs.

It's the only place that has the right feel to it, but getting down on the floor was very difficult (still haven't recovered) and then I also can't change anything in the scene, so it's just a series of similar shots of the same set up.

I even remembered to take a 'behind the scene' shot for you.

Dear Martha, I know what you mean about not being able to get down on the floor. I can get down but getting up is quite the adventure (laugh). I can't wait to see the behind the scene shot when you post it. Only two days until May!
