==============================
HIya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> -> Natural light rocks - speaking as someone who's had to shoot
-> rhinestones
-> -> -> under an Ott light. (grumble)
-> -> ->  
-> -> There is a trick for that as well, take a one gallon milk container and
-> cut off
-> -> 
-> -> the bottom, cut off the top (at an angle ) so you can point your camera
-> into 
-> -> it and place the entire thing over the top of the jewelry piece (this of
-> course
-> -> 
-> -> won't work on really large things like clothing) and then light and
-> shoot it,
-> -> the 
-> -> translucent plastic milk jug really diffuses the light so well it's
-> amazing!
-> -> (and 
-> -> CHEAP)!
-> 
-> I've been known to use a flexible cutting board propped in an old kiddie
-> lunchbox for the same effect.  It doesn't work for large objects.  I've
-> heard of the milk jug trick but haven't had to use it yet.  
-> 
The milk jugs are just the proper translucentcy to eliminate most of 
the "hotspots" and give a nice even glow to jewelry. Give it a try and you'll 
be amazed. 

-> -> -> -> images. I need to check back with her and see if she liked how
-> they
-> -> -> looked 
-> -> -> -> on her 'puter and see if she tried to print any of them yet.
-> -> -> 
-> -> -> So what did you do with all of your free time?  Besides find a ball
-> game on
-> -> -> the radio?
-> -> 
-> -> Actually went back to my studio and finished a painting I was working
-> on, still
-> -> 
-> -> not totally satisfied with the result but I'm thinking of changing it.
-> 
-> Oil?  It would almost have to be if you can scrape it off.  Ever tried the
-> new funky water-soluble ones?  I've messed with oils, but don't really have
-> the training to do them justice.  The raw talent ... is up for debate.:-)

Not oils, no, watercolors, I'll wet it down and try and remove the paint that I

didn't like from it ...if it doesn't work....there's always the other side of
the 
paper for another painting! I have no talent, but I do have fun! 
chat with you soon
