  1. When you are selling your art online little is more important than the quality of your pictures.

    You won't get many sales if the quality of the pictures make it hard for the buyer to see the quality of your art or craft. Worse yet the quality of the pictures can make the buyer picture in their mind that your items are poor quality because you didn't seem to care if the photos were low quality.

    Taking pictures of our handcrafted items is something that overwhelms and irritates many artists and crafters. It seems like it is too complicated and our photos are never good enough causing us great frustration.

    I was very excited to learn of an inexpensive tool that can help us all take better quality photographs of our crafts. I would like to thank Nancy for this wonderful information please visit her sites below and say thanks.

    The tool that Nancy uses to take better pictures of her handcrafted jewelry is a 17" light tent from Cowboy Studios. She found her light tent on Amazon.com. Actually I found quite a few there and was pleasantly surprised at the price.

    Nancy's described her lights as "just clamp lights, about 8 bucks at Lowes, with 23W 5000K natural daylight compact fluorescent bulbs.


    Nancy also shared with us this link to a great video tutorial on product photography. http://www.prophotolife.com/prophotolife-instructional-video-diy-studio-product-photography/


    Thanks again for sharing such great information with us Nancy!


  2. Plastic Storage Drawers

    On my wire cubes I have these little plastic drawers with the Boy Scout emblem on them.  I am not sure where I got them but I have all kinds of things in them.  I would take some better pictures of them except something happened and my phone camera isn’t synchronizing correctly with my computer.  Hope to get that fixed soon.

    They contain roller stamps and ink for them.  They also contain pop dots a.k.a. thick foam tape for scrapbooking and rubber stampers.  They have boxes of paper clips I used to make angels, baskets of shells, juice can lids and scratched CDs saved for various kids art projects, corner rounders, stickers for kids projects, and so much more.  I also have several of these little plastic drawers in a cupboard full of rubber stamps.

    Plastic Storage Drawers

    I love these little drawers on my wire cubes because two of them side by side perfectly fit the width of the cubes.  You can also do as I’ve done here and use the plastic drawers as a shelf.  Another option would be to stack 3 plastic drawers  on one side of the cube and use the wire cube pieces to divide the rest of the cube vertically.
