Today has been a gloomy day. It started out nice, the sun was sort of out, but then around 11 it just clouded right over and has just gotten darker and darker. I think that might be part of the photography problem. I've just been using natural light to take pictures of things. The only draw back to that is cloudy,rainy day=no photos.
This is the only good one I managed of the new item, and it's not even that good:
It's a little pinky ring with oxidation, hand etched raindrop pattern, 14kt gold, and one flush set white sapphire. I think the sapphire was overkill, actually, but I couldn't resist. I think it would be all right, but I didn't place it well. So, this will probably end up being my own ring. I love being a goldsmith...I get to keep the rejects! (Or maybe I will give it to Jonna as a gift. Mmwha wha ha ha!)

Hey Justine,
The single best thing I ever did for my photography was to invest in 2 tripod lamps (they look like really tall Luxo lamps). They come with 200 or 250 watt bulbs. Photography your jewelry in a light tent so the bulbs don't cast harsh shadows and you'll be on your way. You'll also be able to photograph on gloomy days. Cheers, Barbara
