Etsy Listing - Nosy Dragon, Shelf Sitter, Wooden Toy Free Standing Puzzle Unfinished Poplar

October 08, 2017

The photography for thes one took a long time. I thought I had this all figured out then I met light colored wood on a white background. No matter what I tried I just could not get this to work. There just wasn't enough contrast. It is also posible the my photography skills were just not up to it.

After trying many different things I started trying different backgrounds and it finally hit with blue. Black worked pretty good too but I have never ironed the wrinkles out of the black backdrop and it looked really bad,

I cut this batch of Nost Dragon Puzzles from poplar. It cut really easy but it the cuts were really fuzzy. I was able to take care of the fuzzies with a sanding mop.

The sanding mop is new to me and I am just now starting to under stand how it works. You need a very light touch or its going to take the piece away from you and throw it across the room. It always throws it into a hole behind some thing so you are back there scratching around with a flashlight trying to find. I didn't break anything thankfully.
