Product photo shoot

Finally there is sunshine in my house. I have been waiting for it so long. It is super hard to capture a beautiful image of my Rose Water necklace. I love this a lot and I have one I wear a lot. The necklace was shot more than several times which the softness and loveliness of the blushing pink rose quartz drop is so hard to capture.

A beautiful shot of my Rose Water with the aid of sunshine. No retouch, just size chopping.

Unlike the photo underneath which was captured in a cloudy day... even though I tried to add light source with a DIY tent, nothing is better than natural light.

!Crap!

I am on Bead Trends magazine

I am pleased to receive this glossy square shape magazine to kick off my handmade life in 2010.

I am on Bead Trends Dec 2009!!!

I have been looking for the book in Hong Kong since Christmas. Obviously, Page One no longer sells this. But the Bead Trends are still available in ALL major magazine and book stores in UK and US.

It takes like a year to produce just a little piece of beading instructions, to contact the editor, emailing back and fro, couriering creations, taking photos etc. But I am happy with the result. Having Chinese as my mother tongue, I think I did pretty good as a contributor. :P
