This weekend I'm enjoying a beautiful and relaxing vacation at Lake Charlevoix. While here I had a chance to check out an art fair in Petoskey, Michigan. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything to spoil myself with, well except a beautiful jewelry chest that was about $4500 out of my budget. But I did come back with inspiration for new jewelry and ideas of how I want to set up my own booth when I take the leap into doing art fairs. And for you here's some Michigan artists that really blew me away with their works.

Take professional looking jewelry pictures at home
Thursday, June 21, 2012
I've been working on building up a small jewelry business for a year now and I've been struggling with photographing my jewelry for almost as long. I've photographed some pieces 3 times now and they're about to get a fourth because I've learned the secret to good jewelry photography: K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid), lol. In this post I'm going to show you how to inexpensively take pictures of your jewelry at home that look like they were done in a professional studio.
