Dee Dee, I burst out laughing when I viewed the first image! It is grand.
Your work reminds me of the photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. His books titled Good Breeding, Horses, and Dogs are among my favorties in their simplicy. Look at the huge muslins used in the large animal books. The wrinkles just do not matter. When the images are that good, like some of yours, the background just does not exist. (Except for the image maker that hates wrinkles)

When I travel with muslin, I try and take the background lengthwise and twist one way at the top and the opposite at the bottom. Then roll. That way the wrinkles tend to be more vertical which does not disturb me as much as horizontal. In the studio I use steamer.

I do know that some backgrounds I have purchased do not shoot like I envision. And sometimes ones that I did not think would work, are my favorites.

Keep up the great work. You are a joy to watch create.
