So, it's been all go.. the last week of work, the gearing up to Christmas....
Last weekend the results of my styling for our Christmas giftguide came out in the Good Weekend magazine as you may have seen (if in Australia). I also put my first gif together (using layers in photoshop) to use on the ipad version of our magazine. I did actually weave real fairy lights carefully through each set up, but in the end the twinkles were created in photoshop (based on the photographed ones). I'm a sucker for colour coding and these setups were 'fun' to put together. I try to do a sort of mood board - but eventually all the items just need to be unpacked and assembled on the day. Working out the scale of objects next to each other can be tricky... i appear to also like things with faces...
