I had a long and clearly over-ambitious list for today … which at midnight has very little I can cross out. It’s not that I’ve not been working – I’ve worked non-stop since getting up. But my day has been devoured by little odd jobs, dealing with my Towering In Tray of Doom, writing up a report for the jewellery group AGM I’m going to tomorrow, dealing with some long-overdue emails, tidying up a few pieces of jewellery for some orders and then packaging up several items which will be winging their way to their purchasers tomorrow.
Oh – I managed to do the dishes too, which was a bit of an achievement!
And that’s it. At least I did manage a tiny bit of jewellery making, but nowhere near as much as I’d hoped. And, yes, those etched pieces of silver for my Istanbul box are still just laying on my bench. Perhaps I will get some done during the week, although it’s going to be incredibly busy (as usual).
However, I’m pleased to report that I did manage to put up the final lot of new photographs in my Etsy.com jewellery shop last night (let’s not mention how late it was when I finished), so take a peek.
I ended up using a lot of black backgrounds – making the most of a lovely piece of very soft suede I’ve got which gives a really matte background. It does make the work stand out much better than other backgrounds I’ve tried, but it also makes for lots of … black … and white. So I might play with some more backgrounds again later on and use some colour.
Let me know what you think! Visit my shop to see all of the gory details.
Love the black background – makes it much easier to see the gorgeous detail on your yummy jewellery!
