In the ramp-up towards this fall’s craft market, I’ve made nearly 100 new pairs of earrings, most of them from a fabulous batch of new glass beads I received recently. In my never-ending quest to find the best way to photograph my jewellery, I tried hanging earrings from the top of a pottery vase from the dollar store, but it was too shiny and the shadows and reflections were much too harsh. However, the remnants of yesterday’s beach glass photo session were still around, so I tried that – and the more matte middle section of the vase plus a scalloped shell turned out to be the magic trick!
