This week my time was consumed with retaking a bunch of photos with my spiffy new light box. I've found that black poster board makes a GREAT back sweep. With the bright lights it comes out a soft slate gray and shows off work to great advantage.

Part 2:

OK, OK, check this out you guys! I got some new toys in the form of acrylic risers in black and white. Look how FREAKING AWESOME these pictures came out!!

If I'm not careful, people are going to think I hired a professional photographer for these. I'm really liking this light box!

Oh! Kate---your new light box looks great. I can't wait to set one up once I move into the studio. However, I think I'm going with white.

I will have to go sign up for those gorgeous earrings, too. The flower beads are so delicate---they remind me of a Tiffany piece.

Your bead work is amazing! I love the colors and the detailed work. That light box is really working out well. Sorry to hear about the defunct bulb. The great news is how well your constructed light box works!

I stopped over to the contest and weighed in on my favorite. It really is hard to pick one item. I posted a link in the comments there to your teal and purple fringe necklace. What lovely colors and amazing details!

I hope many people discover your work and place, lots, and lots, and lots of orders!

Oh, I've been meaning to link to you and I will do that now without fail! I'm placing you at the top of my blog roll!

All the best,
{hugs} Kathryn
