First the Good News
It was good to start the New Year with a nice bit of coverage of the piggy bank in Grand Designs magazine - that TV show is one of the things I miss most about the UK.
I just love Poppy Norton's styling here, that perfect purple background really brings out the simple orange, red and white colour scheme and the strong shapes, which are emphasized by the deep shadows the photographer has created.
The bad news is that we're completely out of piggies and designer Pamela Barsky has decided not to produce them any more, which is rather a shame since I never quite managed to nab one for myself.
I was thrilled to discover one of these in my Christmas stocking this year and one of my resolutions for this year is to do a lot more tabletop studio photography.
I miss Grand Designs too... I became addicted to it, and the Coast series when I lived in Wales. I think that Kevin McCloud is just wonderful..the right amount of adoration and scepticism.
