Photo Flyers Arrive!

Flickr Tag Error: Call to display photo '3235923134' failed.

After a very long, very hot night, I was rewarded this morning with the delivery from the printer’s of a box full of my first photography promo flyers! I have never seen 2500 copies of any of my photos before, but I now have a whole box of them!

I was originally planning to start putting them in local letter boxes as soon as they arrived, but the current record-breaking heatwave that has Melbourne paralysed (43C+ today and yesterday) would make that dangerous. In the meantime I’ll be working on a contract for clients, and making a phone record form, for me to take down bookings when they come.

I’m SO close now to getting business going! I’m very excited :)

Purple Flower Pendant – P365 Mar04

Last year, I took some macro photos of flowers in Mum’s garden. Ever since Naomi has started doing loom beading, she’s wanted to try and use on of my photos as the basis for a pattern for some beaded jewellery. She chose this photo of a flower for her first attempt.

Using a Photoshop action that I helped Naomi create, the photo was rezised, reduced to an eight colour palette and “pixelated” to the appropriate detail to match the number of beads Nomi wanted to use. From this plan, Nomi matched the pixel colours as closely as possible with the colours of beads in her “bead catalogues”, and placed an order for the eight colours. When they arrived, she taped some of each below the palette to help her pick them out.

And here’s the result modeled by Naomi. It looks even better in person.
(The final pendant was actually flipped left/right)

Naomi was going for a “it looks like something, but can’t quite tell what” look, rather than a geometric pattern or random colours. I think she did an awesome job!
