I've put a new auction up on eBay featuring six "watercolor" lampwork
beads. Not a 'set', as such, but some of my favorite hollows and
transparents from my first batch of annealing.

I'm still getting the hang of photographing my baubles, so bear with
me :) No reserve, and it's only a three day auction.

Thanks for looking, and enjoy!

Congrats Tink!! Looks like your auctions are doing really well! The pic of your pendant is outstanding!! Glass is so hard to
photograph because of its reflective properties. I think photographing glass is an art in and of itself. There's lots of good info
in the ISGB archives if you're willing to dig a little. If not, email me. I would be happy to help. I know how frustrating getting a
good picture of your beads can be. Some days I take pictures of the same bead over and over until I'm happy with it. Sometimes it
takes even longer for me to get a pic I'm happy with than it did to make the bead! It is so dependent on the lighting and if that's
not just right it can throw the whole thing off. Anyway, let me know if you want some tips. :O)

Happy torchin'

You know, the pic I took of the Celestical beads was the FIRST shot I
attempted of them. I spent over an hour today trying to get a good pic
of the Watercolor beads. LOL! My big mistake, apparently, was to read
the darn user's manual for the camera. Heheheh.

I have a Mavica FD-91. It's not a megapixel, but it's a great camera,
and has subperb macro capability.

So bring on the tips, Paulette! I sure as heck can use 'em, heaven
knows!

I've read everything I can find at ISGB already... Thank you SO much
for your nice post and your help!
