I don't like wearing jewelry either because I don't want to dress up but I wear it reluctantly when I go to shows. I also have your same dry sense of humour and need to be creative, Thanks for your tutorial, my photos will no longer be so boring.Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10067772352839954840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-11883636691540579382014-03-24T10:51:26.252-04:002014-03-24T10:51:26.252-04:00A very interesting post indeed.

My beads are not quite as bad as I have a great old garden table which has really helped.

Now for the fun part...to add all the grunge! Thanks again for the inspiration. Oh, and I took some pictures of a few pieces that I added a few more props..I have this beautiful flower candle holder a friend gave me some years ago and it was perfect to have peek out of the side of the photo.

Your beads lend themselves so well to natural elements, and it is a great feat to be able to include "props" in a bead picture and have them add and not detract. I love that your beads fill the whole frame, and your lighting is always superb. Makes me feel like I'm in a sun-dappled forest or at the beach on a cloudy day.lunedreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194017326383981105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-46745020610805803192014-03-17T09:01:25.758-04:002014-03-17T09:01:25.758-04:00You're welcome Joy!

For pottery (before my studio got taken apart when I moved back to NY), I was making vignettes with old books and pairings, bits of this and that much like you talked about. I can also relate to the not wearing jewelry part - I rarely wear it and when I do it's usually earrings. Yet I am fascinated by designing beads for jewelry and imagining how they might be put into jewelry.
