Mixing Up 1 Part Seeds and 8 Parts Compost for Seedballs


Image by Rachel Ford James
Crazy seedball project:

Mix wildflower seeds up with compost and water. Form into balls and let dry. Disperse into barren spaces. Hope that lovely wildflowers appear!

Here’s a seedball tutorial. I couldn’t find powdered red clay, so used compost-only. This means the balls won’t hold together as well, but I tested some out and they seem to hold together well enough that the seed will get a start in the compost, where ever it lands.

I used three wildflower/garden seed mixes along with some other seeds I got last year and never used. Here’s what’s included:

Coreopsis "Early Sunrise", Plains Coreopsis, Lance-leaf Coreopsis, Pink Bee Balm, Larkspur, Nigella, Convolvulus, Forget-Me-Not, Dill, Sunflower, Four O’Clocks, Cornflower, Gaillardia "Indian Blanket", Tree Mallow, Purple Coneflower, White Echinacea, Globe Gilla, Phlox, Catchfly, Lavender Hyssop, Foxglove, Siberian Wallflower, Sweet William, Cleome, California Poppy, Red Poppy, Sweet Alyssum, Baby’s Breath, Dame’s Rocket, Rose Mallow, Scarlet Flax, Blue Flax, Lupine, Baby Blue Eyes, Mexican Hat, Gloriosa Daisy, Ox-Eye Daisy, Shasta Daisy, White Cosmos, Wild Cosmos, Sulphur Cosmos, Black Eyed Susan, Crimson Clover

Ellie

Ellie was 19 years old at the time of this shoot, and in the running for Miss UK Earth. She is very tall, especially in heels and has the posture of a would-be supermodel. She has a way of looking into the camera as if she is looking at you, and the thoughts and feelings inside her come right to the surface immediately. I dont think I could have picked anyone better to start my model photography journey with, and we remain friends to this day.
This was my first of three shoots with her over a 3 month period, and by far the best images came from it. To be honest, it was my first real photo shoot with an actual model, as oppose to someone who just wanted a few photos taken. We were joined for the day with Mark, a friend of Ellies who also wanted some photos taken. He was a lovely guy and it was his first proper photo shoot too. The three of us spent literally all day together, interspersing photographs with coffee breaks and eventually wound things up around 8pm.

Lighting

I didn't have any lighting at this time, so all photos with Ellie were taken with nothing more than an onboard camera flash and natural light. The backdrop was either the front room wall or the bedroom!

I wanted to get a real strong bokeh in this image, so I shot it at f/1.4. I wanted to make sure that the only thing in focus was her eyes, as they seem to dominate the image.

Processing

Most of the images were edited with nothing more than Photoshop CS4. I tried to give the images a slightly warm tone by boosting the saturation in the yellow and red channels, whilst playing with the levels to get a slightly high-key feel to them. Back in these days, I was obsessed with high-key and think it was my way of disguising what were relatively ordinary photos .

Now the fun part & also the part where you are kind of on your own.
The liquify tool!!
It's up to your own discretion on what to do here.
Just remember the liquify tool is very powerful, if you distort too much, it won't look right. You are better to do a little bit, then come back into it & do a little more if you think it needs it.

I generally select around the area I want to work on with the liquify tool.
So I selected the face area as in the screenshot.

Then go to your top menu & select Filter.
Then select Liquify.

When your Liquify screen comes up, select Pucker from the left hand side.
Make the brush size fairly large (as in the screenshot, check the other settings in the ss, but I have left them alone except for the brush size).

Now I just click on the nose & you can see it shrinks it in a little bit.
Click OK & you will return to your image with the nose a little smaller.

If you don't like the results, just click Undo (Top Menu, Edit, then Undo)…………& have another go.

You may have to fiddle around a bit here to get the cool effects.

I now go back in to Liquify & I like to use the Forward Warp tool to narrow the jawline.

Select Forward Warp Tool & again use a fairly big brush. Click on one side of the jaw & push in, just to narrow a little. Do this to both sides & then click OK.
Again if you are not happy, just click undo & keep experimenting.

You can also use the Liquify tool to make the eyes even bigger.
Go back to your Liquify & select the bloat tool. Again use a large brush. Click just once on each eye & the eyes are even bigger.
