Sneak preview

I had a good, full weekend and took tons of pictures, most of which I accidentally deleted.

I did a fair bit of knitting, including finishing the last sleeve for Flicca and doing the collar and edging. Here's a sneak preview, just needing to have her sleeves sewn in and sides seamed:

I'll probably get that done tonight, maybe even will wash and block it, but won't have time to buy buttons until the weekend, so a modeled shot won't happen for another week or so.

And some jewelry...

I've been making and stockpiling jewelry for the great! big! etsy! reveal!, but haven't been happy with any of the photos I've taken of them. This weekend, I finally figured out when the light in my apartment is just right for this kind of shot. Unfortunately, it's not a time when I'm usually home, but I'm going to make a point of being around next weekend to do more. Here's a sample:

I love that necklace!! For lighting, it might be worth experimenting with the GE Reveal lights, or any full spectrum bulb, to mimic daytime light. I wish I could say for sure if they work or not, but I bought some last week and they're still in the box! I'll try them out this week and let you know.

Very nice piece of jewelry! Looking forward to seeing your etsy shop.

That necklace is very pretty and so different.

Looking forward to your etsy store! That necklace is really simple & pretty. And looking forward to the Flicca reveal as well.

Your necklace looks really pretty. You might want to think of a background with more contrast. I think the silver gets a little lost against the gray.

As for lighting, just use any place in your apartment that is bright, but isn't getting direct sunlight. You could also put a white sheet over a window to diffuse the light.

I'm a photographer who can't help herself...
