Photoshoot.

I used to take a lot of photos of myself, mainly because no one else I know likes having them taken and I sometimes have the urge to take lots! I haven't done it in a while though, and as Martin was away and I had the place to myself (so wouldn't feel too silly snapping photos of myself!) I decided it would be a good time to have a go at it. :)

So, I had a little photoshoot with myself, the Highland Coo necklace and of course, my Darling Helper bear.

I was using my smartphone to take the photos and I always find it difficult to know which angle to point at to get my whole head in... And this time I was also trying to get the necklace in as I wanted to show people how pretty they are! So excuse my slightly chopped off head in the above one. ;)

Next I was aiming for just the necklace, and a bit closer up. :)

Then was a little bit of fun with Helper Bear who wanted in on the photoshoot!

These were the best of the bunch, the others were not as sharp or I looked stupid! :)

Then today I took a couple more as I was wearing a different necklace:

I really do like all the designs and how they have turned out. I realise they would be a little more suited to a younger audience and that not everyone is like me and would wear them at age 30! Still, I embrace my young-at-heart-self and always will. :)

I'm also very happy with the packaging I've made for them. I think they look fun yet quite professional!

 

I made a couple of needle felted things this week too. I had not felted in such a long time (months) that I found it difficult to get back into again, and hard on the fingers! But I am getting there.

This was the little chap I started with, a new design. I love hedgehogs and have tried a few times to make one before, but always find they turn out samey as there are so many of them around and it is hard to get a unique (while still being recognisable) design. I hope this little chap has turned out unique. :) I think he is cute!

Next was a second take at a daisy chain bracelet. I made some last year but they were almost as fragile as the real thing! This one turned out a little more substantial, but time consuming to make so not really a viable option as yet. I need to find an easier way to make them. Still, it is pretty and I will either keep it for myself or reuse the daisies for something.

I am working on another new needle felted design at the moment and hope to have it finished in a day or 2. Keep an eye on my Facebook page. :)

I also have a giveaway running on Facebook for one of my necklaces, pop on over to enter before Monday if you haven't already!
