I love the look of copper. Well, I love silver and bronze, too! It's all good! When I was finishing these earrings, I was placing them on a mug and it really looked spectacular -- all of the bling together takes on a real Gypsy look. So fun. Still addicted to making earrings!
What I'm finding out is that glass jewelry is much more difficult to photograph than pottery. Especially the dichroic glass. The reflections can just kill the colors. I've been trying north light outdoors and I have plans to try the lightbox again to see if that will improve. Still learning. I take many different shots and try different backgrounds, then Photoshop a few for the online store. I'm using a Nikon D60.
This was my first 'real' test firing in the new kiln. The first one said just to fire it without anything to break in the heating elements. Notice the cross -- for blessings, I hope!!
