New year - new blog posts. It has been a while since my first blog post but one of my "things to do" (i dont like new years resolutions - noone ever sticks to them) for 2009 is to keep this regularly updated.
Soooo since my last post, a lot has been happening. I have spent a lot of time sourcing new supplies and where better to look than etsy. I have also had a lot of problems with taking photos of my jewelry. For a long while my photos were coming out pink...
This photo was taken in a handmade lightbox made using an old cardboard box and white tissue paper. I'm no photographer but from researching this on the interweb, the key to getting this to work is to have the right lighting... which i guess i didnt have.
Anyways, it all worked out in the end. I got some gorgeous scrapbooking papers for christmas, reset my camera to its default settings and let natural daylight do the work. Here is the result.
I have had 5 sales and to date got 26 hearts :) I am loving every minute of my new found hobby.
Throughout January, i will be creating new material for my second etsy shop - http://scarletstationery.etsy.com. This will feature handmade cards all featuring rubber stamping. I got some gorgeous new stamps in the post this morning. Will post a sneak preview very soon.
