I re-shot all of my product photos yesterday. I tried a bunch of new things. Hopefully some of them came out okay. I put my camera on fully manual mode, which seems to have worked out okay and allowed me to avoid resetting the gray point with each new photo. I also used a light box, with a brown wrapping paper background instead of a white background, which I thought was going to be a problem, but I like how it turned out. The lightbox eliminated most of the reflection problems I've been having. (In case you're wondering: the woven placemat, the brown lightly striped wrapping paper, and the bowl are all from Ikea.)

With the bodice done, and my placemat in pieces, I had to resort to leftovers from the Medieval and Renaissance Club in my recycle bin for the skirt. The front of the skirt has three pleats on each side, which I decided to replicate, so I folded a ribbon, and measured to get the length, then I held up the paper to decide on the height. And yes- I do still teach weaving.
