Friday Roundup

The best thing to happen this week was for me to get my new camera up and running, so I could retake some of the worst pics of my jewellery. I discovered that with my hubbie 'rebuilding' the computer, that photoshop had been wiped off, so I uploaded Picasa which is free from Google. Picasa is a photo editing tool, which gives you the ability to lighten pics. This is invaluable when trying to get a white background and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

I've been having more success with my Bubbles bracelets this week and am working on an order for 6 Caviar Bracelets.


I've also been making some new memory wire bracelets, including this Cobalt blue one.


and something a little different, this Pink and Purple Pearl one.


Some of you who follow this blog may remember my post Creative Gene way back in April. Well, my sister Anne has started blogging, so for those of you who are interesed in the life of The Pineapple Tart check it out!

  1. Photos are looking great, do you use a light tent? Just got one as an early b'day gift and am having a day of re-taking my photos, hoping it will reduce the time it takes to get decent photos . . .
