I spent yesterday and today updating both of David's and my gallery area. That means I took pictures of our most recent quilts, put them into Photoshop to crop and clean the background out and do the write-ups.
I got to measure them, do all the calculations for pricing, and put all the information into Artwork Tracker. That was the easy part. Once I had all the work done it was just cut and paste the text, link the photos, and fill out the form. Most of the options are already in drop down boxes since I tend to use similar fabrics and supplies.
Remind me not to wait so long, (and this is a big one), DON'T put in lace or netting that doesn't have a quilt background behind it. It was a pain in Photoshop to remove the one in Talisman II. I was also reminded that I need a few different colored backgrounds for shooting the pictures. It will be much easier to select something that doesn't blend in with the edge of the quilt. Lesson learned. Hopefully, I will remember it the next time I start shooting the next quilts.
Let me know what you think of the new pieces. You can find them on our main gallery pages. Click on the one you want to see and 'as if by magic' you will be whisked to the page.
