Thursday, November 27, 2014. Product Photography: Adding A White Background in GIMP. In my last post on Improving Your Product Photography, I talked about an easy method for using bulletin board paper to set up a white background. For my second installment, Im going to talk about how to use an image editor to improve on an existing photo and to replace an existing background with white (or any other color or image - this method is versatile). Bag originally embroidered by special request for a client.

Polkadot Orchid Embroidery: Ginger Peach Berry Cobbler
http://polkadotorchid.blogspot.com/2013/08/ginger-peach-berry-cobbler.html
Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Ginger Peach Berry Cobbler. I'm not normally a peach person - at least not a fresh peach person. I've never cared for the fuzzy texture. However, sometimes peaches are on sale at the grocery store for far cheaper than anything else. When they do, I try to make them into lovely peach cobbler. The following recipe is my own variation off of the Peach Raspberry Cobbler from Joy of Cooking:. 6 ripe peaches (1 1/2 - 1 3/4 lbs.). 1 cup frozen raspberry/blueberry/blackberry mixture.

Polkadot Orchid Embroidery: July 2014
http://polkadotorchid.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 5, 2014. Special Request for A Custom Commemorative Hoodie. A lot of my work involves fulfilling special requests. Most of the time, they are variations on something I've already done. (For example, stitching my custom nautical flags on a tall t-shirt rather than the standard cut.) Sometimes, however, I get a request that is truly unique. Late last year, I had a request for a custom commemorative hoodie from a group of USMC spouses. This is what they were thinking of using. 1) Embroidery d...

Monday, July 29, 2013. A customer liked this large. This is the smaller purse. That I created for her using. The same dragon embroidery,. Which she wanted in purple. Earlier this year, a customer contacted me about one of my bags. She loved the dragon embroidery, but wanted to be able to use the bag as a purse and, alas, a messenger bag was a bit big. Would it be possible to create a smaller version? Of course, my answer was yes. How is it Overall? Singer Brilliance in the Box. Wednesday, July 24, 2013.

Polkadot Orchid Embroidery: September 2013
http://polkadotorchid.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 19, 2013. I'm hosting a give away in conjunction with Christie Cottage's blog for one of my Jacobean Initial Monogram Ornaments. Each one is embroidered with a single initial in the historical Jacobean style, which was popular during the reign of James I as well as in Colonial America. Each one is embroidered in my studio here in Stafford, Virginia. They're one of my favorite patterns that I make, because the embroidery is drop-dead-gorgeous. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Polkadot Orchid Embroidery: Glow In The Dark Dinosaur Hoodie
http://polkadotorchid.blogspot.com/2016/03/glow-in-dark-dinosaur-hoodie.html
Friday, March 4, 2016. Glow In The Dark Dinosaur Hoodie. We recently got an unusual request here at Polkadot Orchid Embroidery:. Can we make dinosaurs glow-in-the-dark? See, our client wanted a special gift for her dinosaur-loving grandson. She loved the idea of pairing dinosaur bones with the words "Future Paleontologist", but could we do something to make it even more exciting for an 8-year-old child? Is there any way to make the skeletons glow-in-the dark? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, February 21, 2012. A Walk Through Oregon City. I recently took a 4-5 mile walk through Oregon City for three reasons:. 2) Check out the local businesses. 3) Have a date with my husband. 4) Start getting ready for a marathon in October. My starting and ending point was Clackamette Park. On the plants and animal front, I was happy to spot a ruby throated hummingbird sitting on a barren tree and my first snowdrop ( Galanthus nivalis. Of the season. (BTW, if you've ever asked yourself what hummi...
