Fun with Photography!

 I'm currently working on photographing some of my past work that has not made it onto Etsy yet. For instance, this Fire Dancer beaded lariat. My last attempt to get a decent set of photographs resulted in exactly 1 useful image. But yesterday I sat down to take some photos and I am really happy with them! In fact, the above picture is one of my favorites. Ever. It's just so nice! I am surprised that I took it.

Just for fun, here's a less-useful image. This is what happens when someone with zero formal photography training plays with the macro function on her digital camera.

The Mantra

Shopping for word charms is fun! I came up with this combination last time I made an Earthenwood order, and now they're at the end of a beaded lariat... which is today's Daily Design Challenge piece! Click Here to see it on Etsy, and view more images.

No model shots today. I'm wearing my Glass Alchemy t-shirt, which has a woodcut type image of a skeleton on the front. I love it, but it's definitely not a good backdrop for a really long lariat. I may play around with some more model shots this weekend. I could put on my Sexy Brown Dress and vamp it up a bit.

Putting the finishing touches on The Mantra took longer than I expected, so I'm really running behind today. I'll leave you with this short post and the promise of more tomorrow.
