Backdrop attachment method
I don't want to ruin my walls, so is there some type of attachment method to which she is sort of a universal type of fixture?
Re: Backdrop attachment method
nothing too complicated.
- Tape (make sure it doesn't strip the paint) - depends how light (weight of) the cloth.
- Cardboard or foam wall (tall/big enough for desired backdrop) - just hang it over it.
- 3M stick-on hooks.
At one point I was going to go with curtain rod. (of course you'd need to make holes) but opted to just use the above methods.
If anyone else has other methods to share I'm all ears.
/g'day.

Re: Backdrop attachment method
I like the idea of a backdrop wall that I can just hang the cloth over. Just constructed out of some furring strips, and staple cardboard to it, or even stretch some cloth to it to give it a solid plane, then hang the different kinds of cloth over that. This way it won't hurt my walls or ceiling at all.Sotaichou wrote:

Thank you S. I think that just might do it.

Re: Backdrop attachment method
For backgrounds for small dolls, I've found my 30" flat screen, and the richness of the internet provides some great backgrounds.
................................................................................Both of these pictorials were done with just a monitor in the background:
You can see the edge of the monitor and my laundry closet in this shot. It almost looks like part of the shot

brilliant. pretty sure it can be used for full size dolls too. maybe even a projection one. it's a nice option.

Re: Backdrop attachment method
I was about to throw out a clothes hanger stand and quickly realized that I can use this for hanging backdrops...
This is actually what titman suggested above, only smaller scale.
