I brought a bead loom upstairs to do some photos of the work on it - which I'm
still photographing, because the beads are small enough that I have to do macro
photography in order to catch the pattern. It is truly amazing how many blurred
photos I've deleted. I'm not going to give up though.
I think the problem is that it's my Dad's digital camera, which I'm not used to,
so my rate of success isn't the same as it would be with mine. But
unfortunately, I can't use my digital camera, because I can't download photos to
this computer from it as it doesn't have a compatible usb cable/program
interface for WinXP. That really ticks me off.
So I've talked my Dad into buying me a digital camera next year. That makes me
happier. But, it really doesn't help now, so I'll just keep trying with Dad's
camera.
When I dug out the bead loom downstairs, I found two more "lost" projects on top
of it.
Two braiding projects:
A flat Peruvian braid on a square plastic card in 16 strands (8 green and 8
gold) in size 8 DMC cotton.
A flat Marudai braid on a square cardboard card in 16 strands (mixed green, navy
blue, red and black) in mixed rayon floss and wool tapestry threads - this braid
was an experiment to see how I could move threads within a pattern. It's a shame
the threads are so dark, as it would be interesting to photograph it, but
unfortunately I don't get a decent photo.
Anyway, hopefully the next entry will be me telling how I've got some nice
photos of the bead loomwork. They'll be downloaded once I've cropped them
nicely.
Bye for now.
