Learning to make a light box

I find that taking photos is one of the hardest things I have to do, and I still love it. I take and retake the photos, trying to make them perfect for my shop on etsy.
I made a light box myself from what I learned on this site. Take a look .

It's a simple way of making this lightbox , with minimal materials and cost.
The directions are to the point and you can use materials you most likely have in your house right now.

My husband is a musician. He plays horn, flute and keyboard. He sings Jazz, and standards and all sorts of music. I thought I'd try to post some of his music so you can listen. He plays locally in Rhode Island and Mass. Is available for weddings, birthdays and any celebration!http://www.johnnytmusic.com

Take a look at his website and enjoy..as I figure out how to put music on my blog!

Bling!





I'm learning a new style. BLING...


Pink cyrstals, sterling silver..becoming one of my favorite things.


Using beautiful freshwater pearls and sterling silver chain and componets. It's so much more fun to produce a well made prodeuct! I want to keep most of them for myself!

The sun just came out here in Rhode Island so I better go catch it while its here!!!

Going to go sit out with Jack.

They are all double crimped for safety, and I now can make them with a strong magnet so they are break a way for those who require them made that way! I can adjust any one here in my shop either way for a custom finish.
Hope to see you soon.
