gold plated by summerfield

gold plated

attempted once again that folded magazine thingie, and once again, it's an epic fail. sometimes i ask myself why i bother with things i know i couldn't do! it's not like i'm in denial of my capabilities and my limitations. non, au contraire, i'm so aware and still, i question myself when i fail at something and kick my own ass. but then there is that saying: 'tis better to have tried and failed than never to have tried and failed at all. or something to that effect.

so this probably would be my last attempt at this magazine thingie and i will go back to the spork and foon thingie. why, because i crack at how jackie thinks my tableware is new and unused. let's not tell her that there are some secrets in photoshop and ribbet that i know of.

-o0o-

do you remember your dreams? do you dream in colour? do you have recurring dreams? can you control your dreams? and why do i ask so many questions when all i want is for you to check out five plus two's theme this week which is 'dreaming' and maybe you will join us. check us out here: https://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2019-01-09
Well, I disagree! I loved it instantly and thought "I've always wanted to do one of those"! That was before reading your blurb.

This is wonderful! What a warm and original affect the light has on it. Fav.

Not a fail at all! I love this - it has great bokeh, cool reflections, great patterns and the composition is terrific. Gotta give yourself more credit, Miss Vikki. Oh fav by the way.

Stunning.
January 10th, 2019  
Lovely!

If that’s a fail, then I’d like to fail like that more often. Very very striking. I like it.
January 10th, 2019  
This is fascinating, really pretty
January 10th, 2019  
Are you kidding? I would be so thrilled to be able to do this. It’s fabulous!
January 10th, 2019  
Doesn’t look like a fail to me I think it’s great

First I want to know why you think this is an epic fail. I see nothing wrong with it!

“It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all” is the saying you were going for.

When I saw Jackie’s comment about your other shot I wondered if you had Photoshopped the blemishes out. Now I know!

Now you tell me!! I like this successful magazine thing it's beautiful
January 10th, 2019  
Nope, this isn't an epic fail. I really like it and looked at it for quite sometime. Well done!
January 10th, 2019  
I think it turned out great! Fav! Sometimes we are our own worst critic...
January 10th, 2019  
Well, if an epic fail goes on the PP and the TP, either it's not an epic fail or we all are losers... I'd rather go for the first!

I disagree stongly!!! This is a ost beautiful picture of a most beautiful folded brochure. Love the shiny paper, that reflects the golden tones, and this shiny bokeh. Huge, huge fav.
January 10th, 2019  
I think this is a total success. Such beautiful golden boken. Oh if I could only fail this well. I was just thinking of trying the magazine thingy myself.
January 10th, 2019  
No it’s an epic nailed it
January 10th, 2019  
Fraid l disagree with you also, very striking and eyecatching
January 10th, 2019  
Very clever work! I totally admire your dedication! fav
January 10th, 2019  
I'm not sure why you are calling this an epic fail. I love the tones and reflection of the lights in the wonderful curves. I think this is beautiful.
January 10th, 2019  
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
January 11th, 2019  
Epic fail - I think not, this is brilliant, love the detail and lighting.
January 11th, 2019  
you misjudge your work. There is no failure here. I like it a lot. And I would like it even more in square format. Judging by the comments here, I think you are going to have to admit this as a success!
January 14th, 2019  
Love this!
