Experimenting with photos

Today, since it has been yet another wet one, I have been experimenting with photos of my jewellery.  There is clearly  a lot to learn and I am interested in seeing the way others display their jewellery for sale. 


I have tried with a plain white background


Then this one with what I would call an "interesting" background
And lastly this one with a background which says something about the product itself, and also it is darker.
Its tricky, they all have their merits and perhaps it is just good to mix it up a bit.  I suppose I was trying to find something which would instantly say, Earth Apple Jewellery.

I would love to see your comments and thoughts:)

Australia Day 2012


Here is something interesting about spuds that you may not have heard. 


In the olden days, potatoes carried in a pocket were widely thought a cure for rheumatism, especially if the taters had been stolen. As the spud dries and hardens, it supposedly draws from the sufferer uric acid from the body which is the root of the pain.


So for all of us who are feeling a few aches and pains, perhaps it is worth putting a spud in our pocket......?

I sold this one at a local Made In Dorrigo day before Christmas.  But if you like what you see, take a look at my website above.  

So that's the first of many things you can do with potatoes!

Welcome to my Blog!!

Hello there and welcome to my Blog! 
I am excited about sharing spud stuff with you and I think you may be a little surprised by all that the humble potato has to offer! Keep checking in for new things.
Cheers Jane :)
