I had to dig these old pottery tools out of a closet when I needed a last-minute entry. Used a canvas-like apron, and borrowed some modeling clay from Isaac.
Combination of inderect sunlight and fill-flash, handheld at near-maximum zoom.
After intially submitting the straight color version, I was trying to figure out which galleries to assign it to. After I decided that "Vintage" was appropriate, I went back and changed it over to a duotone based on a combination of Black and Pantone 143 (orangey-brown). (This also helped hide the bright-green clay I had to use!)

I think sepia is a bit inappropriate as I find myself wanting to know what colour all the objects are! Interesting tools but I wonder if a more intriguing viewpoint would help to make the shot more interesting.
I like the sepia tone and the different textures present. The wrinkle at the bottom left is a little distracting but overall this is one of my favorites so far.
