I really like L&L pieces in person, but with photos, well, they lose something. Some essence . . . some luminous quality. I am finding this quite frustrating. I'm really a PhD (Push here, Dummy) kind of camera person, so I'm sure there's ways to fix this.
Since I use Lumiere and other iridescent paints, I think it makes it harder for the camera. I am going to experiment over the next few days and see if I can do better capturing some of my early pieces.
After a couple of weeks of experimenting, today I finished a piece that I feel like framing! Hooray! I took the glass out of a cheap frame that I had hanging around and painted the frame with a complementary color to the piece. Tomorrow I hope to put it together and photograph it.

Wow, that's really beautiful! I think I'm going to look more into that kind of art form. I'm a wanna-be painter....love it but don't seem to have any innate talent. Plus with 5 kiddos, I don't have the time to develop any right now. However, i love to admire others work and dream about the future when I might be able to do a bit of my own.
That is beautiful, Cassandra!
The colors on this one look very similar to those on the piece LB shared (in their shiny, irridecent-ness). Are you using the same brand of paints?
Oh, I can't wait to see more of your lovely creations!
Thank you, both Julie and Crissy. Yes, Crissy, I am using the same brand of paints. The iridescence was one of the things I was drawn to.
Blessings,
Cassandra
Crissy, I have been collecting some of the Lumiere paints in grape-like colors, for when we do your project.
Cassandra, what a great blog! If you'd like, I can email you some more links to more L & L blogs.
Can't wait to see more!
LB
Please do, Needleroozer!
