Snap Attack
These came together really quickly and I made two of each apart from the squirrel which I fussy-cut from a Little Apples 5'' charm. Now I'm trying to decide what exactly to use them for. Yeah, admittedly I got a bit carried away once I saw the Polaroids popping up on a couple of blogs. I do sometimes. A few Dresden Plates, for instance, are still waiting for their right place. Thing is, I knew instantly who to make them for and sometimes that's all you need and the rest will follow. And one Dresden has found a lovely place! Right? Right.
At the moment I'm in favour of a pillowcase as the intended (and photographically pretty talented) couple is still using their me-made Christmas decoration pillows because they like them so much. However, I'm also leaning towards making something like a pouch or tote. Probably no tote as no sane photographer will log around expensive equipment in a simple tote. They carry too much of that often also quite heavy stuff and prefer backpacks. So maybe a zippered pouch after all. For something.
One thing I would love to get some input on is the colour that will have to work as a background to pull all of these pics together. I'm drawn to red or black as both colours go well with their red sofa. Black would be nice in a slide show kind of way but could easily look too dark? Whereas red is a safe option not only with them but also because it occurs in some of the snapshots. Then again I should possibly risk mixing things up? What do you think?
I'll be linking up to Lee's WIP Wednesday.

Love these! The polaroid blocks are so cute. I like the fussy-cut squirrel.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd probably go with a black background to make the little snaps really stand out. Or go with two cushions, one black, one red and cover all your bases! ;)
Love these blocks, the polaroids look so cool. The yellow bird print is one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks!
ReplyDeleteHow about a charcoal background? Not quite as harsh as black, but it still makes the colours zing!
I vote for the dark grey too~
DeleteLove your Heather Ross fussy cut blocks. You should make your pictures "large" in your post so they'll show up bigger.
ReplyDeleteI love these, they are such fun
ReplyDeleteI think a polaroid tote to carry photography equipment in is ideal for these lovely blocks.
