Simple Change--Big Impact!

I've taken another round of photos, and during shooting the proverbial lighbulb went on in my head......but let me back up a bit and explain. I have been working on my photo and lighting set up for some time with limited success. I had bought three 75watt full spectrum bulbs to light my photos, but all of the shots kept turning out too yellow. I made my own light tent, which didn't change much. Finally last night I had that "duh" moment and realized that I had been leaving the overhead light on in the room, with its regular compact flourescent bulb. I turned off the overhead light and Voila! Perfect color in my shots! Now I have another stock of photos for new listings :) Here are a few previews.

New Work: Pendant and Earrings, a Set!


One of the recurring themes in the feedback I've received is that I should list matching sets in my shop--here is my lastest work; a matching set of a pendant and earrings! I'll be working on more adding more sets and a greater color variety to my shop soon!
The other thing I'm actively working on is lighting for my photos. I've constructed a light tent, but the bulbs I have just aren't doing the job. Any comments on what you use for lighting product shots will be most welcome :)
