Aros Sewing Circle

[liadethornegge]

So in Aros we have a regular sewing circle. We meet on average every two weeks, gathering people from Aros and the neighbouring shires. We make our separate things, and sometimes we have themes where we make the same things. We have had special sewing circle giftbasket meetings where we made things for the Principality (Nordmark) and Kingdom (Drachenwald).

For sewing circle I sometimes bring my camera and take pictures of this and that. Sometimes details of research, sometimes details of current projects, sometimes overview shots of finished items, sometimes shots of people working, or random fika photos.

So I have nearly 500 of these photos so far. I used to have them up on my gallery, but I'm not really sure I have a purpose for them anymore. I still think it is fun and "useful" to take pictures at sewing circles, because so many pretty things are made and brought out.

I guess what I am asking myself and you, the readers, now is: What should I do with all these pictures?

I've got my project photos on picasa, and my event photos on pixbox. If I post sewing circle shots, which service should I use? Does anyone else find them useful? Interesting? What purpose do they serve?

To me they serve as inspiration. A quick peek to se what others are doing in the A&S. And a reminder that it's always nicer to sit with others and do different crafts than alone at home. :)

And they belong among your other picasa-pics.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. It will help me decide what to do.

I do like seeing people's projects in progress myself. You're right, it is inspirational.

I have a section in my online album called "Atlantian Artisans." Not only it helps showcase other people's talents, but when you are in polling orders, you can always say "This is the person, and this is his/her work." It certainly helps put faces, names and work together.

If you want to compress the collection a bit, take a selection of the best shots and put them in an album. You can keep the rest in your hard drive or discard. :-)

Hmm, that's a good idea - winnowing the selection and uploading the good bits.
