Circle Blue Planet

I have been very busy updating my etsy shop and making all sorts of jewelry. I have found it very soothing to sit on the cough with my little baskets of beads and findings and wire and just be creative. You might be wondering about why I chose that red ear display. Actually it is an Earring key chain that I bought on Ebay. The set up is an earring display that I stuck some double sided tape to it so that I could mount the ear on it. I was looking for a cheap earring display online and I found some silicone ones that looked very much like the one I have my earring displayed on except it isn't red. My display cost under 5 bucks as opposed to the one here that cost way more than that. I am very happy to say this. A display of color is a good thing, isn't it? It may distract you from my earring design but I really like the way it looks. I bought a load of mother of pearl jewelry supplies and I have made 3 different pair of earrings. And I used my photo studio from Square Perfect. The light are pretty good I think. My FujiFilms camera is only 3 megapixels so I am in need of an upgrade really soon. I am thinking of purchasing a Canon A590 which is 8 megapixels. The camera I have now is great I just don't feel it picks up the fine detail of my jewelry.

Welcome to my studio

Look what I got in the mail yesterday! I have been wanting one of these for about two years. I was thinking of selling on eBay and I wanted to take some great photos of my items. I can remember seeing New Egg advertise a studio in a box pakes for a little bit over a hundred dollars and I also remember not wanting to spend that much at all, I am going to have a bit of fun with this over the weekend and I am going to try and post some pictures. I am so excited!

GorillaPod

It has recently been my quest to take better pictures and I found out about this GorillaPod tripod. I am definitely going to purchase this, and it is in pink! However for those of you who aren't as fond of pink as I am it is available in grey, red, yellow, blue and green. You can find it here at Amazon.com and it will cost you from 16 to 25 dollars U.S. In my opinion the best feature of this is the bendy/twisty legs of the tripod you can bend those legs around branches, poles, handles etc.
