Product Photography
A few links to help with product photography. I've battled with photographing my jewellery and its not been made easy with the weather in the UK either :-(... anyhoo it's an ongoing battle.
Was so excited to have ordered 'daylight' bulbs from amazon, to use with my ebenk digital studio kit which I got for Xmas. But when they arrived , the lights were dull yellow lights...was expecting white lights..the battle continues I guess.
Right, here are the links:

Wishing all a very Happy 2013 ahead!!!
I am looking forward to a brand new year.
Haven't made any new jewellery or been active on my blog since I twisted my knee and fell at home at the end of November. Been using crutches ever since :-(. Will be having an operation to get it fixed at some point early next year.....
But, somehow in this time of inactivity, my shop has had its first international sales and has made me so proud of my creative work especially with the feedbacks I have received.... I'm thinking it can only get better in 2013!!! :-)
Got an ebenk professional digital studio kit for Christmas, so can stop putting off building myself a light box phew!!! This hopefully would translate to better and brighter shop photographs in the new year.
Here are some useful business articles I came across recently..

That very first proper sale!!!
Waking up to an email notification of sale, O what a feeling!
Still working on tips I gathered for search engine optimization and getting brighter photos (not got round to the light box business yet) but it's good to know people other than family and friends actually like what I make. Not quitting my day time job just yet though :-D.
The etsy community (teams and forums) have been very helpful in offering advice, tips and critique.
It's all good!!!
Below are some of the items I listed in my shop today:
