Crafty, Crafting Minimal Challenge

July 28th, 2022
My thanks to Susan @wakelys for hosting the previous minimalist challenge, I am honoured, and totally surprised, that I am the host of this new challenge.

My chosen theme is crafts or crafting. Do you, or someone you know, knit or whittle? Crochet or sculpt? Carve wood or bash metal? The list is endless and I'm looking for minimalist compositions that can show the tools of the craft, the object being crafted or the finished crafted item.

So long as your image is minimalist and emphases that less (minimal) is more - by using the minimum amount of components, colour and shapes. Be aware that lines, texture and negative space play a huge role in minimalist images to enhance the subject of your photograph.
