\nI wasn’t thinking of writing this photo up – but the more I look at it, the more I see some interesting relationships.<\/p>\n

It has an other worldliness about it and for people who would like to make their products, services and \/or themselves out of this world, here is my take.<\/p>\n

1. The photo was taken in the window of a very reputable antique shop, so the items are genuine and of quality – lesson one.<\/p>\n

2. There is a mirror – to intensify the product\/picture through reflection – augment what you have by imitation, reflection and whatever you have.<\/p>\n

3. There is a ghost-like quality to the photo – bring a third demension, whereever you can, to whatever you have. Think of the richness of otherworlds – bring them in. We have lace shawls based on the signs of the Zodiac, for example!!!<\/p>\n

4. Reflected in the window is the everyday too…ing & fro…ing of ordinary people – raise them to the sublime with your talents.<\/p>\n

Enough said – have an out of this world evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
