I remember a thread in the forums a long time ago about inserting a pic of yourself making the item. That way, people will *know* it is actually handmade. Not a bad idea.

I really want to thank anyone who placed my work on storque so others can view it. I hope you show me how to do this. I am not a tech person but an artist and I appreciate the kindness shown about my work. I'm glad you like it. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Please get in touch with me so I can be helped with doing this myself if that is what I am supposed to do. This has been wonderful to see and I am grateful. Very sincerely, Marilyn of Art By Marilyn

By the way, I went to 1/2 price and I do not have jewelry yet. Soon though. I am so new that I, "jumped-the-gun", because I thought you were supposed to tell what you were doing. I am waiting for people to catch up with me and my dreams so don't get angry my jewelry is coming and I have greeting cards. Please keep watching my shop and you will view everything soon. I am so sorry if you feel I have mislead you. I wouldn't do that. again, thank you for your patience and my jewelry should be here in hopefully less than 2 weeks. vwer sincerely, Marilyn of art by marilyn

I made one very similar to the one you have posted: http://www.flickr.com/photos/christysquilts/362019649/ differences, I used white posterboard for the sides/back instead of cutting holes in the box and I put the lights on the front - pointing at the top and walls not directly at the item to prevent shadows. Light boxes work great! (same item as pictured from the above set up)

Make sure you get a daylight balanced bulb for your pics,not a tungsten and that you put your camera on daylight setting. Play with the setting in your camera, you can pick from vivid-more color saturation or standard. I would highly recommend getting the amateur photoshop, it can cure many photo ills!

thanks for the tips! and as you know, a legitimate "vacation mode" where the seller does not have to put all of her items into inactive mode one at a time would be extremely helpful. p.s. it's "asterisks", not "astrixes." :)
