The newest piece in my rock garden line is going to be a a winter piece in neutrals. And no, there are no pinks in the mix. The design on the bottom of the bowl has a lot of pink, which shines through the clear beads.
Thank you for all of the wonderful feedback that I've received on my current header piece that I gave to Bethany for Christmas! I will be offering a similar piece in my shop.
I have been working on a lot of greeting cards, including a couple Valentine's Day designs. My card designing is pretty scattered (one day I'm working on Valentine's Day items, the next day I get inspired to start working on flowers for Mother's Day cards...), but I may try to get at least one more Valentine's Day design together before the holiday.
I have to say that I am really thrilled with how well I've been able to photograph cards in my light box. I was worried that it wouldn't be big enough and that I wouldn't be able to crop the sides of the box out. I was also worried that I'd get weird shadows on the cards when I stood them up. So far neither of these things has been an issue at all! There will still be some learning curves I'm sure, but I'm off to a good start at least.
This doesn't have anything to do with "in the works" but I wanted to say thank you for all of the anniversary congrats from the end of December. Jake and I had a wonderful dinner out together. I enjoyed the leftovers at home the next day. Look at how big those scallops are!
I still have a few $10 ad spots that will run for all of 2012. Get them while you can! All of the information about my private ad sponsorship can be found right here.
That's great that your lightbox works so well for your cards too! I think I finally have a box big enough to make one so that's on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know how you bead with all the beads mixed together like that. I can't handle my beads touching! :)
Lots of fun in the works! I need to remember to take photos like this more often too!
ReplyDeleteYour leftovers sure look yummy! Glad you got to celebrate :)
I like looking at your beads when they are in tiny bowls--they always look so pretty and colorful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I cracked up at Beaded's comment about them touching:)
