I managed to get some decent photos of some cat pendants, but I'm still relying on the sun for my photo lighting. I just can't seem to get around it. I think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and invest in some photo quality lights and bulbs.

A new camera probably wouldn't hurt either. My camera is pink...I thought it was cute when I purchased it a couple of years ago. Now that I'm using it to take jewelry photos I don't think it's cute at all. The silver reflects my pink camera, so I've had to tape black paper all over it. Nice huh? LOL I'm tempted to just paint it black...or maybe just get a new camera.

Here they are - Maxwell the grape, Polly and Molly:


Polly is sold and Maxwell & Molly are listed in my etsy store:

Revive it!!!

It's been over 7 months since I posted on my blog - shame on me!!! One of my New Year's resolutions was to start posting regularly...obviously that didn't happen. And I got all mad at myself for not following through. But I realize it's not too late, I can start today. Actually, I had planned to start last week. And last week I had planned to start the week before that. Big sigh. I'm a procrastinator, I admit it.
I will procrastinate no more! I had a grand plan to revive my blog today with photos of some cat pendants that I've been working on. So I went to take some photos and every photo I took looked like crap. I rely on the sun for my lighting and the sun has not been reliable at all. I'm sick of waiting for the sun to come out, I need a good photo setup that I can use any time of the day. Off to Hobby Lobby I go, hopefully I can come up with something decent cause I think it's suppose to be cloudy all week. Pbththththth!!!
