>Nuts to Photography
One thing I am finding I don't like about making small items for my Etsy shop is that I have to take photos of them. By now, I'm sure you have noticed that I am not the best photographer, for the following reasons: 1) I need a better camera. I love my Sony Cybershot, but 8.1 megapixels doesn't cut it anymore. I also need something with a wide angle lens and a tripod for my larger bead paintings. 2) I need a light box. I have really been slacking on that, mostly because I haven't have time to make one, nor do I really have the space for one, unless it is collapsible. 3) I really need to hire a photographer to take pics for me, because it takes way too long to do myself! :o

Be that as it may, I do my best. Above is a quick photo of 3 pairs of bead-embroidered earrings I made last night. These earrings are made with washers, tiny hex nuts, and seed beads. The pair on the far left are inspired by my beaded motorcycle wheels, and the other two pair are spin-offs of that. These are all sterling silver stud earrings. I hope to have these listed in my Etsy shop later today, but first I need to take better pics... :o
