christmas cthulhu
Originally uploaded by cignoh
i knit a cthulhu doll for j for christmas this year. it's from creepy cute crochet, which lanaconqueso showed me, and i ended up buying, despite the fact that i'm trying not to buy anymore craft books until i make at least one thing from each of the books that i own. i'm not that good at crocheting, so he is a little misshapen in parts, and his wings aren't really wing-shaped, but that's ok, it makes him one of a kind, i guess.
to photograph him, i experimented with a makeshift light tent with some success, but i'd like to work with it more. i was getting double shadows on the ground, plus, i couldn't get good shaping, which i guess is part of what happens if your subject is evenly lit from all sides. also, the top of my setup is open and exposed, which i think isn't supposed to be.

I love this C and thank you for sharing your photographing technique. Photographing my stuff for my blog and etsy kills me.
I will be back on ITB soon - sorry I fell off the earth.
Happy Holidays!
!! he's so cute! awesome. I think that book is totally worth buying. I'm supposed to be on a craft book freeze too but I'm on the verge of caving for that book after the octopus (i'll post that shortly). Cool photo technique!
yes, he is very cute! i love his "whisker/beard" he reminds me of a character from a miyazaki film. does he have name?
what exactly is a cthulhu?
hey! thanks yall! he was fun to make, and i'd like to make other things from the book...
