new camera

We have upgrated to a much better camera, to hopfully take better macro pictures of our jewelry.  It has been a long time in coming.

Well, it came today.  So we played around a little with it.  Here are two rings that we will be putting up for sale soon. 

I didn't do much editing....and I need to work out a few things, but I think I am going to like our new addition. 

Now the work begins....

We still have a few openings in our jewelry making & silversmithing classes.  Click here for details.  And in May we will have classes available 2-3 times a week.

New Pictures

Well, I did it!! I figured out how to down load pictures from our new camera to the computer.  After struggling and agonizing, I resorted to reading the owner's manual.   Come to find out there was a CD you were to download to the computer first. Who knew?? Silly me. 

I know, I know. I should have read it first.  But my thought was since our other camera was hooked up and we eaily downloaded pictures from that, we could easily plug in our new camera and *wink* pictures would be downloaded as easily.  Nope. It just didn't work that way.  We tried this and that and everything in between.  But nothing worked until we read the manual. Let this be a lesson to me and to you!! Read the manual!

And as a bonus, I learned some cool tricks I can do with my camera.  Fun!  Fun!

So.................I have been busy today uploading to our Etsy sight.

Please check out how it looks in our Etsy store by clicking on one of the pictures to the right.

New Camera

Yipee!! We bought a new (to us) and improved snazzy camera this morning so we can take fabulous pictures of Rene's work. Our basic "point and shoot" camera just wasn't cutting it....no, it was just awful for up close pictures. Sooooooooooo....... watch and wait for some great pictures. :]
