Presenting Kodachrome

Finally, the “official” photos are back!

I’m debating which of the last two photos to send in as the “detail” view for the Handwoven garment contest.  I am leaning towards the first (the hat photo) – it has a pretty good close-up of the neck of the garment – but really like the way the pattern in the second photo just glows.

(These photos, by the way, are the work of uber-talented nature photographer Joe Decker, of Rock Slide Photography.  Get in touch with me if you live in the Bay Area and would like him to photograph your work – he does an AWESOME job!)

Later today I’ll write the official “page” for Kodachrome, and post it under “Finished Works”.  I will also finish re-hemming the lining, and do the official sewing-in of the label.  (That’s the last thing I do when finishing a project – a small ritual that says, “Yes, this is done, and I’m ready to sign it.”)

Woo hoo!  On to the next project!

    You look beautiful (and the jacket is beautiful too)!. Congratulations! For the detail photo I’d use the detail of the fabric – the bottom photograph.

    Detail of the fabric is information not contained in the others pics. Plus it appeals to weavers.

    I really really like that second photo. It is all around the better of the two. But I’m not sure about submitting a back view………….sigh………….
