For the 3 finished projects I originally wanted to make photo frames. Because of lack of time, I decided to mount them and make them to be viewed on a table. I stuck with my question and tried to use recycled/found materials but wanted to get some sort of pattern in there. I went to Wal-Mart and bought scrapbooking paper. The paper comes in booklets (1/4 cost of Meijer and more selection). Then I used rubber cement (doesn't show through paper) to paste the paper onto thin cardboard. To make the edges look soft and finished I trimmed the paper just enough so I had about an extra inch on each side. I then bent and pasted the edges to the back. The little stand is on the back and is made from a single piece of corrugated cardboard.

Photoshoot #2
I had another photoshoot on Oct 16 with just me and my tripod. These first 3 images are what I used for my final result. Below them I have included all of the other photos, even the bad bad ones. The final image is one that I played with in Gimp. I had a hard decision weather to make these in sepia or color. In the end, I stuck with color. None of the images were touched up in Gimp.

Photoframe Ideas
Joanns has scrap booking paper that might make a nice and simple frame for a wall hanging or table view. Here are a few examples I have tweaked in Gimp. Paper may vary by store.
These would be backed by some sort of mat board or card stock to help keep their shape. These will most likely be standing on a table so I will not have to purchase any hooks for hanging.

Photoshoot #1 Oct-11
I do feel like I need to do this photoshoot again. I only knew of one location near campus for this and didn't have an extra set of hands to help. My main idea is to get a photo of each of the items made (the outfit, umbrella, and watch). I feel like I have gotten some okay photos, but not the best. Here is what I have (excluding a few with my head chopped off)....
It wasn't till I looked at the photos that I realized I had forgotten the black cord that goes onto the back of my jacket. So any photos of my back will have to be reshot to be considered into the final decision.
I feel like the tree in this shot is making it very hard for the viewer to see the umbrella.
In this image, the sun was very bright and reflecting off my car, which is why my eyes are closed. I do not like the fact that the umbrella is cut off at the top.
I think this image is decent, except for the fact of missing my black cord.
I enjoy this shot alot. This shows the back of the costume, but the focus is on the umbrella since it's hiding my face.
Decent. I think I shouldn't be looking at the camera in this one. Once again, the sun was blinding me which is why I look a bit angry.
The umbrella isn't very visible here since it's being cut off and isn't tilted.
This was my favorite image of the whole photoshoot today. You can actually see my hair. Took me many hours to figure out how to do it (I don't deal with hair much).
How to incorporate the watch....I tucked the lacing into the sleeve because it was blocking the hand from holding flowers.
I now realize that the face of the watch isn't visible which isn't very good.
I was originally thinking of making the final photos in sepia. What do you think?
