Everyone knows I love a little flowing fabric. Or maybe a lot. Okay, I have a full-on obsession with flowing fabric. As evidenced by my hundred or so images that feature it. Why? It creates movement in an otherwise static image. It can be transformed into so many shapes and adds an organic element to an image.

I can’t wait to see how you use moving fabric in your art!

I’ll pull some of the art that I see this week to feature!
Use the hashtag #PromotingPassionChallenge so I can find you!

Here is some food for thought. Enjoy the challenge, and remember to push yourself creatively!

When I shot this, my goal was to throw the fabric at the camera and see what effect I got. I loved it!
I shot this in Death Valley on a day when it hit 125 degrees F. It was miserable! And even more so because I had to fling this fabric all over. But it was worth it!
In this case, I used the fabric to look like an extension of my body.
I attached strips of fabric to an umbrella to create this effect.
I used one small piece of fabric to create an entire dress!

I couldn’t help but be infatuated with the flow of red fabric yesterday, so I opted to try again for an opposite style image. Blue fabric instead of red, and candles burned out instead of flaming. I thought it was a nice counterpart. Not to mention entirely too much fun to freak my neighbors out. Sometimes I wonder if they’ll be glad when I move, or if they will miss me. Sometimes I even wonder if they might find my blog. Doubt it.

For today’s video I’m sharing the setup for this image (and consequently yesterday’s as well!). It has been nice shooting a little bit later in the day (I shot this at 8:30am rather than 5:30am). However, tomorrow I’m back to the early shoots, and it is going to be a FUN one! Instead of shooting really early today, I went hiking instead. I walked with my love along a river and picked blackberries as we went. It was incredibly delightful.

I admit though, today I’m rushing through this process because I’ve got meetings and deadlines. It seems like yesterday was international email day, because I got absolutely swamped last night between 7pm and 6am! I have a bushel of emails. A flock of emails. A murder of emails. Help. Me.

So that said, real life calls today. However, this weekend will be one of no real life whatsoever. I’m headed to Joshua Tree on Sunday and can’t wait to create while I’m there!
