I scored more potato sacks from the organic food co-op we belong to. It has been running for many years, mostly because of the hard work of a few trusty and amazing people–and one of my friends in particular.
I turned these into fully lined bags. The printing isn’t designed to last but I like to honour the humble hessian sack, while there are still some of them left to honour.
I am planning for these to go back to the co-op where other members might like them.
Needless to say lining them brought on a little bag breakout. I managed to finish one more sheet offcut collection! And provide yet further evidence that there are some things about my camera I don’t understand after all this time.

I keep meaning to offer: if it’s helpful, do you want a bit of assistance with your camera sometime? It’s easier to do in person, so just ask me if you’d like a few tips. I only mention this because you’ve mentioned being baffled by photo results on a few occasions, and it’s something I have a bit of practice with.
Anyway, lovely bags, as usual! I’m guessing the last batch aren’t quite that excitingly pink-on-pink in RL, but either way, they look great. 🙂

I’d love a few tips, thanks! Sometimes I can understand why the image bleaches out completely (or turns very red all over) and sometimes I simply can’t and I just have to try another day/wait for the light to change/move strongly coloured objects in and out of the frame and see if anything sorts it out. I like to try for colour that is close to the mark for the blog for obvious reasons, and sometimes, I just can’t do it. I currently have about 15 batts and can’t seem to get anywhere near honest colours in the few moments of sunshine when I have the chance to try. Hence, a post about this and not madder or indigo! Thanks for the compliments for my blushing bags. I feel it is a giveaway when the table changes colour 🙂

Yup, that lovely red table suggests to me that maybe the white balance your camera is set to isn’t really working well with the light you’ve got there. Is it a phone-camera or a camera-camera? If you bring it along to Night Owls I can have a look at the settings and see if I can work out what’s going on, and maybe point out a few things that might help, if I can.

Ah, you know what white balance is. Awesome. I only have a phone camera now as it is so much better than any camera I ever owned. Will bring to Night Owls in happy anticipation!
