Giving my eyes a break

Whew! So recently I've started down the long winding path of jewelry making. It has been quite fun to experiment with, vastly different from say drawing and sculpting. I tend to have squirrel-like hoarding quirks so my stash of beads have been accumulating for quite some time (like since 2nd grade :cough:) and I had a bunch to work with.

A con however is all the frickin' squinting I have to do when making all this jewelry. Which would have been not too shabby if it weren't for my horrible eyesight and the sizing of some beads (a mere 2mm across!).

So, now that I have concocted a few creations, waiting to be adorn on fancy ladies necks and ears, I have to first take pics (frumph). There is a little voice inside of me that throws a tantrum when it comes to this step. I've never met anyone who adores taking pictures and writing out descriptions for Etsy. Not that it's a chore per se, but more of an arduous task to complete.

Usually I go about (or Rem does) using the sunlight for all the pics, but this blasted winter has stolen any good chance of getting natural light. I had to eventually revert to the good ole' lamp with daylight bulb routine. The pictures didn't come out too grand so it got me thinking. What could I do to get better shots of our miniatures and bling?

After some researching, a light box or tent seem to be the solution. I figure you can easily build one and would cost a bit of pocket change (like $5). I'll take pics of the process and post a tutorial so everyone can build their own :D

Stay tuned!

We're being non-compliant with our posts! D:

Whew, it's been busy around these parts. Along with 1/2 of our creative juices tinkering at school and the other 1/2 at work, we haven't gotten a chance to update.

Well! Time to blow off the dust that's been collecting atop this blog and boogie.

Lucid has been divulging into the mysterious realms of mold making. Let's wish her luck and hope that she comes out of it with all her limbs!

Rem has recently acquired trade skills from the elusive crochet gnomes. She has many tricks up her sleeve and we will be revealing those soon!

As this post comes to a close, let me share with you something that will involuntarily make the corners of your mouth turn upwards:

Beatin' the heat.....with a blunt object.

Argh.
It has been so sweltering hot the past few days that we've been afraid to trek outside. You can find us most days staying in and playing various games of awesome-ness like Okami and SOUL CALIBUR IV!!!! Wheee!













We have actually finished up some of our creations recently so be on the lookout! Stay tuned for an update of garment wearing proportions!
