This ornament has the most sentimental value. I made it with my mom when I was 5 years old. We were living in Hialeah at the time. I remember sitting at a table in the "Florida" room. We had all the sequins layed out in front of us. She would have me pick out a color and then she would place it on the foam bace and put a straight pin through it. I would then push the pin in the rest of the way with a thimble on my finger. That was 1968. It's held up pretty good. The memory I'll cherish for as long as I have one. Doing something like this is something I recommend to anyone who has a young child. Believe me, It will stay with them forever.

I had to do a bit of research to manage this shot. The basics I discovered for a low key shot are a black background, one light whose strength can be controlled and a reflector (optional). So, here's a pinecone sitting on a black liner from my diaper bag with a LBD (little black dress) draped over a basket behind it. My light source was a shaded computer table lamp which I controlled using another inverted funnel like lampshade. And the wall to the left of my "studio" served as a minor reflector.
I was unable to use my tripod for this shot (my daughter thinks it's a REALLY fun toy) so I balanced my settings around my shutter speed. (1/50) I ended up having to open the blinds on my windows to access a bit more light.
I darkened the black in my shot just a bit post-prossessing (-5 on that screen that pops up in Elements) and cropped it a touch. I tried to keep it as pure as possible.
This is a close up of...a...wait for it... pinecone! Ooooh! Ahhhh! With alittle editing of a pink tint to it.
For tabletop or mantle, a beautiful natural candelabra of wood ends and pinecones, with some sprigs of pine needles. Perfect for the holidays or any rustic home.
