Last month our group Be Still 52 had an exercise in Prop Styling with the Organic theme. My camera had been silent for awhile as my computer and my health were under the weather but finally I was able to get this exercise done.
I wished I had old watering cans, cool prop boards of white wash and wood but in the end I gathered what I could find around the yard and set to work.
The first image is called Rounds and is a collection of Found objects on a cheesecloth background. Wonderful green pods, leaves, chicken feathers create the collection.
The next is a bit of the last of my garden, wtih green peppers, asparagus and zinias.
The little bright flower makes the peppers look like they are ready for an elegant resteraunt menu.
Finally I spied these mushrooms and with all our rain they were starting to appear everywhere once I began searching for a good one for a photo. I sorta like mushrooms in photography. So unusual and full of childhood sillyness and fairies, forests and immignation,
I also had some little blue wild flowers still blooming so I used a special arm to hold the mushroom up next to the flowers to style these images, and then of course added processing later.
I like these images as they not only make me think of old post cards but magazine covers too from some botanical issue that might have been published in the past.
Each of your organic is wonderful, I especially love the second one with the rope this could even be Gather from this weeks lesson. The mushroom is very special with the blue forget me knots I believe is the flower. So glad you feel better and can pick up your camera again.
