Little by Little I am adding more to the the ArtFire Shop. It is a bit time consuming making it, preparing each one by washing and setting it first, then weighing, pricing, naming it to reflect it's uniqueness and photographing it just so. The photos never fully capture the essense of fiber. Fiber by nature is tactile as well as visual. The two senses work together to communicate the life of the fiber. Here's one that I've had a hard time with conveying its beauty. I've photographed it at least 15 times. Can you see the sparkly Tropical Firestar in there? There is the beautiful tomato color of the Merino created by blending several reds and oranges with a bit of yellow. There is the wonderful hand dyed Sunny Yellow Silk Noil nubbies. But I can't see the sparkle of the Firestar. Firestar itself is a blend of a multitude of colors. It's all blended through the Merino by the carding process. In Person it is vibrant and unmistakeable. But not in the photo. It is in the shop, nevertheless. I will continue taking pictures of it to capture that little essense. Can you see it? Let me know!
