Back Drops: Ever DIY?
Just wondering if anybody has ever attempted to make their own back drops, and if so, what were the results? I'm thinking about giving it a go but not sure where to get materials or even what kind of materials I need?

There are many different kinds of backdrops. We don't do any fancy pants canvas painting or anything, but we do use lots of different fabrics from the fabric store. We even have some fabric that is similar to your panty hose.

Haha! How much would you charge me to frolic around in your fabric collection Shane? You can watch, or not.
Thanks Missy. I may call Doug. I remember seeing a tutorial a few years ago on making them but I was just wondering what the current trends are, besides white pantyhose? :)

The one I use all the time for my goofy thumbnail pics was made by me and painted by Jenn.

Depends on the type you want....canvas, muslin, paper? Also whether you want portable or studio?

Yes. I have been making backgrounds since the early 90's. I can't afford a $1000 dollar background.
Not saying that $1000 backgrounds are not worth it because they are. If I had the money I would buy them. You can make a lot of money off a really great background. It's worth every penny. So if you absolutely can't afford to buy one I can tell you how to make your own. I might have a few at the studio you could take off my hands.
