first peyote triangle earrings, new photos for Artists Exposed

I edited the pictures of my first peyote triangle earrings. I played around with several different set ups since I've never photographed earrings before! I'd appreciate any and all feedback before I create my first earring listing on Etsy.

I don't think I want to photograph all of my earrings with this piece because the colors on the glass piece wouldn't always coordinate with the earrings. However, this worked beautifully with these earrings so I thought I'd give it a shot. I think that the cup is a nice size fit for these earrings.

I took a few shots with my classic music background. I think that I'd like to include a couple shots like this in my listings no matter what, but I would still like something that shows the earrings mounted, too.

I also took a few shots with a plain juice glass, too. I like the neutral background that it creates, but I'm not sure that it's the best size/shape for these earrings. Maybe I'm being too picky though haha. This is why I need feedback!


Vicki Diane graciously offered to curate one of her Artists Exposed treasuries for the EBW group. I created my listing tonight. I got a haircut today so I figured that this would be as good a time as any (even though I shot these pictures without natural light). I'll be an alternate so here's hoping that someone's item sells and I'll make it in! You can check out the listing here.

Yes, I had some fun editing these pictures with Picasa. Once I had one of these brilliantly colored images finished, I couldn't go back to the originals.


For those of you who are friends with me on Facebook or who have seen the photo that I used for previous Artists Exposed items, this is the updated version haha.

Etsy Bloggers Exposed

Vicki (VickiDianeDesigns) generously offered to make one of her Artists Exposed treasuries for the EtsyBloggers team. I got my modified item URL submitted in time for it. I chose my green rock garden bracelet. She managed to snag a treasury today. The comments section has already filled up, but you can still support the treasury by clicking on the items.

This is the second time that I've been in one of Vicki's Exposed treasuries but the first time that I've gotten a screen shot of it.

You can view the treasury by CLICKING HERE until Tuesday November 24 at 7:09PM EST. Thanks Vicki!

I am officially on Christmas break now! That means lot of hanging out with my husband who is also on break (he's in medical school) and of course lots of making jewelry, plus the usual Christmas festivities - seeing family, exchanging presents, and baking.

My blog special will be offered until Christmas Day at midnight. All who are interested please take advantage!
