Great tips for photographing jewelry

I found this article with photo tips from 10 top Etsy sellers. They are really simple and will help you a lot on your work.

I personally think that having a light box is a must. My pics changed so much when I made mine. You don't need a fancy one, and you'll see it on the first tip by Elizabeth Williams.

Saturday Morning Surf

This is a good moment to surf on the web for interesting blogs. Its not hard to find them. The difficult thing is to choose which ones to post because there's a huge amount of handmade and decor blogs online. And probably, if you entered one you may have found it also includes a list of recommended blogs. I'm a brand new blogger so this is a new field for me.

Here are 3 blogs I want to share with you:

1. Try handmade (http://tryhandmade.com/) I actually found this blog a couple of weeks ago. They feature artists at least 3 times per week and you also can submit your own pics on their gallery. What I found today is that they have a shop (http://www.1000markets.com/groups/tryhandmade) with fabulous items. You can tell that they care about offering good products with good photos.

2. Papernstitch (http://www.papernstitch.com/) They have an extensive artists' display. You'll find the items on sale after you click on a name which will also link you back to their shop. If you are interested in selling, they charge a monthly fee for exhibition. There are no fees for selling items.

3. Mixed Plate Blog (http://www.mixedplateblog.com/) A little bit of everything: artwork, decor, jewelry, accesories, clothing, food...you name it! The feature and interview artists as well.
