New jewellery...updated for Heidi!

Just stopping by to say hi and also to show you a few things I've just loaded into my Folksy shop. It's been a while as I officially lost my camera in January and just don't get on as well with my partner's, but I thought it was about time I took a few snaps and filled up the shop as I very pleasingly have managed to sell a few items this year! I make very little effort with my wee shop (poor thing) due mainly to time constraints (and my very poor ability with all things technological!) so it always makes me immensely chuffed when folks want to stop off there and pick up one of my creations.

Without further ado, here are my new pieces...

Bronzed Aqua

The Fairy One

Sweet Tooth

Afternoon Tea

Roses and Pearls

Shimmering Ferns

Teal Roses

As you can see, no necklaces...I really am struggling to photograph them! I made a really pretty one the other night, using lace and a Moogin poppy bead which I love, but I simply haven't found a decent way to shoot them yet....I'll keep trying! Anyone got any good advice for photographing necklaces, especially longer ones? I am on the look out for a shabby chic mannequin but all the ones I spot on ebay are ridiculously expensive....any advice gratefully received!


***Update: here are some photos of what I've done with one of those gorgeous poppy beads! It's a really long necklace but as I've mentioned, I've not worked out how to sort out photographs showing this nicely...***

Hope you're all having a good week - I've succumbed to the end of term bug (predictable) and have got a hellish timetable at college (10-9 daily, sitting watching masterclasses...seriously!) which we supposedly have to be at for every minute of every 3 hour session...never has going to school to work seemed like a good break! I'm there tomorrow for choir at 8.30. Last day of school til the Easter holidays...and my trip to Spain! My partner and I are going with two of our friends for 8 days (amazing!) and it is going to be a relaxing beading and reading holiday. Food, drink, sun, swimming, books beads and sleeeeeeep....and then my (gulp) 30th birthday at the end....I can't say I am looking forward to it but there you go...it comes to us all I suppose! I always thought I would be wiser, more financially stable, slimmer and more sorted by the time I hit this milestone....but clearly not! Ah well. Perhaps 31 is the year to head for ;-) Anyone else have similar feelings about birthday milestones??
