Layered Exposures
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 27th of April is “double exposure with objects”. When it was my birthday six months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas. Those wonderful gifts inspired me to create a series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. I decided to use two such images to create a double exposure. I chose one Dewhurst's Sylko Deep Slate Grey Blue reel of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954 and an Edwardian Anchor peach coloured cotton spool facing in the opposite direction. The cross over of the reels makes for an interesting focal point. In both cases, the original images featured a lace background, which has melded together quite nicely, I think. I hope you like my choice for today’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
