Wide or skinny, brown headbands fly from my studio, no matter the season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most sought-after color combination is pink and brown, but sadly, it is really hard to find a cute printed fabric in pink and brown, that it is also suitable to make headbands... The choices have always been scarce.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True, I've been lucky to find a few pink and brown fabrics like this: &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sJk_MxrpfnY/SgmLcErc5lI/AAAAAAAAAJA/RpR0vv_8NPQ/s1600-h/bohemian+dandy+damask.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sJk_MxrpfnY/SgmLcErc5lI/AAAAAAAAAJA/RpR0vv_8NPQ/s400/bohemian+dandy+damask.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334948548005652050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or this one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sJk_MxrpfnY/SgmMRlDlylI/AAAAAAAAAJI/bHtTCeYp-MI/s1600-h/large+pink+polka+dots.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 338px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sJk_MxrpfnY/SgmMRlDlylI/AAAAAAAAAJI/bHtTCeYp-MI/s400/large+pink+polka+dots.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334949467229899346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I never stopped searching for more.

Seriously.   It is almost embarrassing to look at them again. But it also makes me a little proud about the new pictures I have taken lately.   I've received many compliments and even some sellers have written asking for advice.  I couldn't feel more honored [blushing here].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've always been a fan of natural sunlight. The colors remain the same, and I don't have to spend hours editing the images.  I like to take pictures outside of the house late in the afternoon or early in the morning, when the sun is not shining directly on my headbands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It felt great to do this during the summer, but as the weather cooled down,  and eventually reached below 32 F... well, taking pictures outside was out of the question. So, I moved my white background inside and used nice white lamps to do the trick. It worked perfectly! -At least with dark colors- light colored headbands are harder to photograph under artificial light, the white background makes it even harder. So I'm saving these white and light-colored headbands to be photographed in a few weeks, when we get a nicer weather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, I'll be working with real models wearing my headbands.  We had our first photo shoot several weeks ago, and we got really nice pictures. I already started using them on my listings and the banners on my website.
