It’s time to show you the finished piece from the work-in-progress shot I posted last time. This may sound rather self-satisfied, but I love this necklace.
I’ve already begun more work in the same vein, and I’m having a grand old time.
Next is a slightly older necklace I only just managed to photograph. This one (and a few of its friends) were away from home for the last two weeks, on display in the holiday art sale at Sweetwater Center for the Arts.
In other news, I finally got around to building a small lightbox in which to photograph my small works. Now if I could just get out to buy the right lightbulbs, we’ll be in business. On a related note, would you believe that I only just figured out how to set my camera for tungsten light? This is a decent digital camera that comes with several lighting presets. I think I’ve had the camera for about four years. It wasn’t until a couple of months ago that I learned how to turn on the macro function… which is a physical button on the outside of the camera. You just push the button. Technology!

What great pieces. And the photos are looking really great too! It took me a very long time to become acquainted with all the different functions on my (Rich’s) camera. Sometimes I feel that things have gotten worse since I started pressing buttons. We’ve got all the supplies for a light box too, but haven’t put it together. How did you do yours?
