I bought Ashley’s lightbox Friday night. She didn’t want it anymore because it really didn’t give her any better photographic light than what she can get in her bedroom anyway. My house, on the other hand, tends to be dark and cavelike. Which is good for Mr. Daysleeper / Nightworker but a bitch for taking photos of pretty crafty things. Now that my usual photo spot on the back porch has been besmirched I decided the best course of action was to finally break down and make or buy a lightbox.

Quite handy Ms. Ashley’s didn’t work out for her, no? So I’ve been taking photos like a crazy woman all weekend and putting stuff up for sale in my etsy shop. Some of this stuff goes back to leftovers from the Zia show just to give you a good idea of how lazy with the photography I’ve really been. I’ve also got Cody working on a cool way to show the rss feed from my Etsy listings on my sidebar. He’s becoming an xml genius at work these days donchaknow.

I’m only going to post one photo of each thing but there are many many more on Flickr.

Ceramics

I’ve been painting ceramic eggs with a sort of, um ‘fertile’ theme. Sort of a Georgia O’Keefe Ostara kind of thing.

I wanted a sort of Lady of Guadalupe feel to this one

These are more abstract ones my four year-old friend, Zoe, helped me paint.

I painted a few other eggs on Friday and I’ve been making some more jewelry and stitchmarkers over the weekend. I have several skeins of sock yarn from the last few months and I have some handspun too. Now just to go get photos of those.
