Here is another design in the lovely blue gauze. I call this one Dots and Dashes since that is what unintentionally happened during the design process.
I was actually going for lines in this one. I kept the fabric dry and folded it into sections. The hope was that the bleaching solution would soak through all layers, creating a continuous line.
As you can see, this didn’t quite happen. I liked how it turned out with the sections of fabric further away from the application only getting minimal solution, so I didn’t ‘correct’ the mistake. Happy accidents are part of the fun!
For the photo shoot, I set up a side light with a blue gel. You can see it in some of the shots. I’ll be experiencing a little more with gels in the future to see how they can change the studio feel. Originally, I was taking these photos with the intent of ‘over processing’ them in the computer. I decided against it, but am continuing to explore those realms of post-production.
fundoshi…blue with a white design
fabric...100% cotton gauze…..If you still haven’t purchased some, do it…..
photography…no attempt was made to ‘erase’ the white backdrop….it is what it is…..
And now....on to the rest of the group....
Next time on fundoshi, fabric and photos: I’m going to continue to mix up the order of the shoots….just for the sake of variety. These means you will have to wait for Part Two. Stay tuned for some brown voile…..it’s been a while since this has been highlighted!
