Light Box Tutorial and a bit of online shopping...

I have been wanting to photograph my makes for quite a while now to upload to my Etsy and Folksy shops.

Finally, the sun was shining and I took my wares out in to the garden and photographed EVERYTHING.

I followed a great tutorial from Pinterest to a lovely blog by Flax and Twine about how to build a lightbox (click here or on the image below to see how to build one yourself).

 

I got some much better photos than I had managed to previously...

Resin Brooch with vintage image of Paris - SOLD on Folksy - my very first shop sale, I was rather chuffed, I can tell you.

Then I uploaded some of my bits to Etsy and Folksy!

If anyone has online shop tips they would like to pass on, I would be delighted to hear from you!

Resin-Obsessed Part 2

Finished resin pendants

Well, I'm quite annoyed at myself today.  I made a large batch of resin, and managed to spill most of it. Bad day for butter-fingers...grrr...

Look at all the mess!!!!!

It doesn't take long for a mess to form, despite best efforts to try and organise myself properly before I begin!

Freezer paper, rubber gloves, wooden sticks, plastic cups, scales, wipes...

some nice bottle tops taking shape

However, that said, I do love how they turn out in the end!
