New: Sangria

Choker. Mixed glass, freshwater pearls, pewter pinwheel spacers, silver-plate toggle clasp on jewelry wire.




Close up of toggle. More accurate to the actual colors.

Close up of the focal bead. I really need to get something in these for scale.

Ooh! Very pretty *peers closer to see how you attached the clasp to the necklace wire*

That is so neat, and the little silver ball beads work so well.

The wire is looped through the end of the clasp and secured with a crimp bead.

And thanks! The little silver ball beads were a last minute addition to lengthen it a bit, as I ran out of the pinwheel spacers. :)

Yeah, I haven't seen a single thing from you yet that I didn't adore. *G* AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION. (Those aren't even my colors and yet I love this!)

For scale: what we usually do is put some kind of prop in the picture: a book, a drinking glass, a pen, yadda. We 'stage' the scene so it looks like you just casually took off the piece of jewelry and tossed it on your dresser, or whatever, and that serves for both scale and artisticness!

Aww. Thank you, Syn!

Yeah, I'd like to get more into staging for the pictures. Right now the only place for good natural light is next to our sliding glass door, which means that photo opportunities are limited to Q's weekend naps since the family room is his domain. So when I redid the photos on all my back inventory, it was a frantic setup-snap-next affair to get them all done, and it still took three weeks. :)

Though now I should have a little more time to stage new stuff in the nap window, since I'll have fewer pieces to shoot per session.

Hmm. Maybe I should start training the kid to be my eventual personal photographer...

Or even better, your personal model. Nothing provides context like a baby. ;)
