Make your own photographic studio.....

I needed something to use to take photo's of my smaller items. I searched on line and found small photographic studios, but decided to have a go and make my own...

 

 

I started with a lidded box and white card...

 

Using double sided sticky tape I stuck the sheets of card to the base and sides...

 

For landscape shots...

 

For portrait shots...

 

Yes it is more cumbersome that the ones you can buy as they fold away, but this was free and I like that ;o)

 

And I made some backdrops from backing papers stuck to cardboard...

 

Too create mini room sets...



A little experiment...

I just need to live with for a while to see if it really works for me.

I wanted to have a Christmas look, what do you think?

More candles to come.....

....I have had requests for more cinnamon & apple soy candles, so I've ordered some more wax candle scent  so watch this space.

I've been busy....

....making a gift for my friends new baby daughter Ava-Mae. It was fairly straight forward with some fiddly bits, mainly would you believe in making bows to finish it off. Just waiting for the glue to go off and I will take a photo to show you.

Recent listings...

 

I have finally got some new items listed onto my Folksy site

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mini and large snowmen pegs. They can be used to decorate your Christmas tree, hold gift tags to presents or to hang your Christmas cards on a jute string line.

 

 

I have listed my cinnamon spice candles and my scented wax dipped pine cones

As the wax is a thin coating you can not only put them in a bowl (as shown) or add them to my rosehip potpourri, you can put them on open fires and in log burners to release the scent, but only use  a couple at a time.

 

 

They come packaged in a cellophane bag with approx 25 cones to a bag.

 

I have also listed my rosehip potpourri

One full cup of scented rosehips to give your home a warm subtle Christmas/winter aroma.

 

 





Wax dipped pine cones.....

I have bags of medium to small pine cones which I am in the process of dipping in scented wax:

 

Cinnamon Apple

Cinnamon Spice

Cinnamon Vanilla

Fireside (wood smoke)

 

I will be packaging them 15 to a bag which can be placed in a bowl on the their own or added to pot pourri and you can even put them on the an open fire or in a log burner (not for gas fires).

 

Photo's to follow.

 

 

Made some candles

You may remember a post last month where I mentioned I had purchased a number of candle tins.

Well I bought some soy wax (which fortuitously came with wicks) and I have made a dozen candles from the 1kg of wax.

I scented them using scented wax cubes.
