Valentine Pendant!

I've been busy making little valentine pendants out of scrabble tiles and hoping to get them into my Etsy shop before Valentine's Day is over!    Making pendants is fun but photographing them is another matter!  It's been overcast on the days I wanted to shoot so I built myself a lightbox out of a cardboard box and curtain sheers.  Building the lightbox,  learning how to actually use my camera properly and then experimenting with different backgrounds took longer to do than actually making the jewelry!  Hopefully now that I have everything set up it won't take me so long to shoot the other pendants. 

This is the first one that I've gotten photographed and into the store.  It comes in it's own hand-painted matchbox.

If you have any tips for photographing jewelry, let me know!

Here's my hand-made lightbox. The thing inside is a half finished collage which actually made a good back drop.
