Pics of Mrs Moos pressie and other jewellery

I was going to do an entry yesterday but pics were down...Worked out fine as the Wobbly ones pressie arrived today...I've met the Wobbly one a few times and she is mad as a hatter and a fab person to boot...And she was 40 on monday so deserved something pretty i decided...I dunno how she gets through all the stuff she has to cope with and she deserves something nice for that as well don't you think???  Mind you i won't be selling her set cheap LOL...Would you believe that for some of the silver components am cheaper or just as cheap buying in John Lewis as from online!!!! Only problem is with John Lewis it's small packets and i want to buy in bulk LOL...All the earrings the beads are threaded on sterling silver wire and all the findings are sterling silver...Am thinking i should do photos during the daytime and not at night LOL...They may work out better...Using the supermacro setting on my wee compact is ideal for taking pics of earrings but no good for whole views of bracelets or necklaces...Am gonna ask my bestest pal if i can borrow her camera to try doing pics on it instead...She has a better zoom than me so might get better pics of the necklaces with it...Anyways for website i want pics of the pieces being worn as well as taken in a more exciting manner than just plonked on a bit of white paper LOL...Hmmm black might be a better background as that would show up the silver nicer.

G's rings have arrived so we need to go down tomorrow and see which one fits him and take it away...Also i want to ask that jewellery chain about a rough idea on price for a specially designed and made item for K...Am going to research a few and see who is cheapest...Making this simple bead jewellery has reignited my desire to do more...By more i mean buying some sheets of silver and say cutting out my own shapes to go between the crystals...Nothing over complex that needs loads of soldering like still nice, simple but effective stuff...For now i'll just experiment with wire shapes and at some point you will get to see the results of that...See i have never been able to afford to set up doing what i enjoyed the most when i studied at art school doing jewellery...That was casting in silver and enamelling...The costs are big and i don't have the premises...Not unless i win the lottery and buy a bit of land and build a house with a workshop in the grounds LOLOL...Oh to dream of having my own grand designed house and have Kevin McCloud come along and follow the build <g> ...G's pressie from america still hasn't arrived <sigh> and his card from his gran didn't arrive either...She's not happy and was going to her post office to complain as it wasn't just a card :o(   Apart from that it's just been another week with time flying by quick as it seems to do when you get older...M's old school is finally being demolished and he was a bit upset about it...Dunno why as he hated the place LOL...Oh his mainstream secondary he goes to for standard grade maths has a talent show on monday night...M found out last tues so guess who's taking part in it...Trying to find a karaoke disc with Robbie on it at short notice has proved impossible...I live in a city where only HMV actually stock such CD's and the ones they have are dire to say the least...So he's going to sing Take That - Shine as he has that on a karaoke CD that came with a compilation one he got at christmas time.
