These photos are light years ahead of your others - I'm glad this is working beter for you!!!

Status: offline 		Yep, that was my thought too and I happen to have some fake grey suede - I'm going to give it a try as soon as I recover from the long drive over and back to the printers.

Need to also get back to organizing the craft room BUT I got my needle felting book today so I am for certain going to be reading that and maybe no no no, I must clean and organize (oh major struggle)

Now I just have to get the wrinkles out and figure out a better way to fasten the fabric into the box - paper ends up being self supporting but this stuff falls down! :) lol!

Probably need to make up tiny polyclay easels - the bent cardboard that I have been using doesn't always stay just right.

ALSO need to do a test photo of the back too - most of the backs are grey so that might pose a problem.

The back of the pin - resting on some of the same fabric crumpled.

Required shooting from a different angle in order to get the easel to disappear - think I managed that in this shot, I didn't in the one I will post next.

Status: offline 		Yet another pin - easel is showing - so that's a problem I need to solve - not really liking my cardboard easels. Need to figure out what shape I should make in polyclay - and make them grey - that should help.

The pin backs rest on the top of the easel. The vast majority of my pins are of similar size but I have a bunch that are a bit different.


Looks like this lightbox set up will work once I solve the problems with the easels.

I'm going to be making polyclay easels this morning - have to figure out the best way to make them so they'll support but not show. Once I solve that problem I should be able to start taking real photos - numbering pins and getting them listed! YAY!! :)

and I might clean/organize a bit too - LOL!!!!

Different easels for different size or shaped pins. The easel on the right is for triangular pendants I've made.
Nothing special but they do the job! :)
