I'm creating a "lap buddy" pattern for the book. Something that provides a soothing weight for a sensory sensitive child and a bit of texture for fidgeting. After I created three versions I got the kids to participate in practice a photo shoot.
I'm really struggling with the photography for the book. I can take a decent snapshot but the expectations of quality for photos in the online and print worlds have just gone through the roof. All the major blogs use professional photographers and photoshop each image. I'm DIYing this book so that means I'm doing the photos (and I best get on board with photoshop).
This week my goal was to play around with photoshop. My dad is actually a photoshop expert so really I should just ask for help but it was kind of fun to mess around with PW Actions and curves and whatever other little things I could figure out. Here are a few before and afters.
I'm still working on it.
In related news, I put my first pattern from the book (Target Crash Pillow) up for individual sale on Craftsy and Etsy. Did I mention this already? My plan is to sell individual patterns for a short time until the book pieces are together then I will just sell the package. So if you want individual patterns, snap 'em up.
