Need help!

I am putting out a plea for help.

I'm looking for ideas.

For experience that goes in either direction - either this didn't work for m, or this did work for me.

I'm seeking to find a good way to position earrings for photography. Apart from my signature photo in the hand, NONE of my earring photos have ever really pleased me. I've tried hanging them, laying them side by side, propping them up, propping one up...etc And they just never look very good to me.

The thing is, there are some earrings that I've made that I LOVE...but then I look at the photos and think 'ehm, they look so-so'.

Take these earrings .......................




 In the hand - they look pretty good (I think).

but hanging here -- ehhhhh, they look so-so.

Am I right?

And I tried laying them down on a black surface as well as the light colored tile shown there.

Neither was great.

So what is your favorite backdrop, surface, position for earrings come time for photo shoot?


Or, share with me what you have tried that didn't work - what should I definitely rule out?

Maybe I need to go back to my floating glass and give that a try............


Leave your thoughts and I'll redo these earrings with suggestions I get and also the floating glass.

TIA!

About time, right?

I have finally eeked out some bench time and I hope this is the beginning of me actually getting back into a routine.

One can hope, right?

Sweetness abounds

At least it does here.

This year for VDay, we MADE cards for LG to hand out at school. I saw this on the internet somewhere (if anyone knows who had this on their blog, PLEASE let me know so I can give credit where due!)

Isn't that adorable!!!  We made these by taking a photo of LG with his hand out and then printing them on cardstock. Added text to the side and cut a small hole above and below his hand. Inserted a lollipop and there you have it!

YAY!

I can't recall what we had for dinner.....guess it wasn't that memorable.hmmm.

We stayed away from too much candy this year and my Dad surprised all 3 ladies with flowers which was really nice.

They were very pretty and unexpected and just a really nice bright spot in our day. Considering all the stress around here lately, it was just a very nice touch.

Hope your heart day was sweet as well.
