Newly listed

Lately I’ve been trying to list a few items in the boutique…Not necessarily items that I made recently, but rather earrings and stuff that I have made a few months back and that I never got a chance to take pictures of due to my old camera being a real nightmare to operate.

but NOW I own a great camera (anniversary presents from my mum,dad and siblings) and the battery lasts more than 15 mins- Isn’t great!?

Having said, it doesnt necessarily make me a professional photographer, so still have to work on it.

Here’s the couple of items I’ve been listing recently

Midnight Russian Doll earrings with bow

Midnight russian dolls earrings

Mini Cup Cakes lipstick holder

Romantic roses lipbalm case and Mini cupcakes lipbalm case

Polka dots and bow Russian doll cameo earrings

Polka dots and bow russian dolls earrings

Last weekend I’ve been really busy making dolls (one was a custom order), hope to show you some pics next time…

 

 

Capture it

Harbour Entrance - fine art digital photographic print
This is a fine print that I won when Carrie from www.cherryblossomtattoo.etsy.com had a giveaway. First time I ever won anything, and it’s not like I’m not participating lol. Thanks a mil Carrie!!
Recently, looking at my boutique and the different items for sale there, made me realize that taking the photos and actually capturing the essence of the object as it stands in real life…well, there lies the difficulty. I feel a bit frustrated because of not having the time to really concentrate and learn how to improve my photographic skills.
In truth:
a/ concentration right now is not as it was due to evident lack of sleep and a certain 12 months baby who’s starting to discover the world.
b/ the light here in Ireland is scarce, you really wanna catch and squeeze as much sunshine as you can during the good days
c/ which is problematic cos I have a bit more time in the evenings lol so The Gimp is a savior.
d/ but there again I don’t know how to use it well, I’m sure I’m passing by all sorts of options that I could us to photoshop better my pics
e/ Often I don’t even have time to photoshop!
f/ my camera batteries start to die the instant you replace them…
g/ plus cheap camera all together
I’m giving out aren’t I?! Too tired to think straight. The solution:
a/Baby does his nights
b/ I sleep the whole 8 hours
c/ I get a tutorial for the gimp
d/Get a better camera
Do you dear reader, know of or own a brillant camera wich is great for close ups, macro and such and that you’re delighted with?
Any tips would be welcome.
I think for now I’m going to stick to solution d/, That’s the one, I’ve got full control over :)
My friend Nicola is a great photographer, she’s already sent me a few links that I need to really take the time to look at.
Also if I get a big nice new camera, I already know there’s a gorgeous shop where I can get handmade high quality ultra cute camera bags called Priddy creations. I mean, look at that!
Amy Butler Floral Point & Shoot Gadget Bag
Large CUSTOM Camera Bag
She even does custom choice of fabric…It’s all too nice not to look at…
Well -hum hum- let’s camera shop first…Hubby said it’d be my anniversary present in October…4 years married…*sigh*…time does fly…
