Building house portraits is my favorite - it is also the thing I dread the most! At the moment that I find myself actually gluing together bits to form a flight of stairs, or making minuscule shapes to mimic the tapered ends of intricate roof support beams, or attempting to carve 1/4” tall house numbers out of what anyone else would take for a scrap of paper, if they even noticed it at all…
Mondays must be for maps, right, since that’s alliterative? Today I thought it would be fun to look back at the first photos I took of my Paper Places, back in 2019, and compare them to the updated photos I’ve taken in the last 6-9 months, based on learnings from @amy.takes.pictures‘ product photography classes!
#marchmeetthemaker Creative space! This is my home studio. I'm lucky, and grateful, to have a room in my house that is dedicated to my work and hobbies, and contains an infinity of creative supplies and materials! Of course that also means it is capable of containing a multitude of messes. I spent about 45 minutes doing a surface-level cleanup today, and even vacuumed! Bash helped.
A little peek behind the scenes of making a custom #PaperPlace! For this one I got to travel all the way to Costa Rica!... Just kidding. I did get to find accurate map data depicting the border of the country, though! (I don't use Google maps for that, but will cross-check using Google maps, and sometimes will use the satellite view to confirm coastline features.)
