Proper Photos

Hullo, I got up this morning to go to college and take some proper photos of my head dresses. Considering the fact I may have time to squeeze in making another one, maybe I should have waited. I will carry on regardless though as I might as well.

I will use this post to somewhat review my various creations. 

This one photographed rather well. It looks perhaps better than it does in real life. The eye hole can only be described as gapeing.

I really enjoy the folds of this one. I think it worked well, even if it is not ornate in the slightest.

This one is the opposite way around. My photos do not flatter it. It looks quite prim and neat, though the head was based in during one of the place movings to the extent it looks quite crumpled on top.

It looks quite ghostly with nothing in it.

This one I had fun photographing empty and full. This is empty.

This is full. I think it also is a bit ghostly. Its probably the scrim. I like the fabric folds. It is interesting as you can see out of it, but it is quite hard to look in on. The lack of eye holes is a bit disconcerting and makes the piece more sculpture like.

I am a little embarrassed  by the crudeness of this offering. It looks like a bad balaclava, or a ghost mask made for a two year old on Halloween as a last minute attempt. I made little attempt to shape the fabric around the head and the fabric isn't heavy enough to hold a shape. All in all, I think I could have tried better.

You may be able to tell from the volume of pictures that this was one I had fun with. I think that it photographed well, the scrim holds a very nice shape. The eye hole looks dramatic and there is something regal about  it all. I am very happy with this effort.

This wimple-esque head dress is another I am a bit iffy about. It contrasts well with the other pieces, but is not anything special on its own. It is not very well made and overly stiff, so the fabric doesn't look interesting. I certainly don't know what is happening at the back.

So that is all of them. I certainly have my favorites, but there you go.
