In the darkened recesses
of a little shop a flickering candle reveals a weary figure straightening
threads and tidying trims well into the night.
The tranquillity of a peaceful backwater is disturbed only by the
diligence of Bruno Habeardashing. Proprietor
of a magical emporium, nothing is too much trouble for this charming chap,
selling notions and trims that add a little sizzle to any stitchery endeavour.
The weather had turned; brilliant
sunshine and appalling winds forced a more flexible approach to capturing the
images. The diorama was set and transferred
in and outdoors as the occasion demanded.
In hindsight I shall have
to take greater care of the lighting and set as this can have a detrimental effect
on the darker bears.
I have used a variety of
props including a selection of pre-war thimbles, dried seed heads from my
garden and old wooden thread bobbins.
For clarity this is
probably the best image of Bruno, although not centre stage in his storyline, and
I shall have to work on his cravat; a piece of silk tied around his neck simply
will not do.
Finally, the three bears
spinning a yarn after a gruelling days work.
Until next time.
