Gifts from Caterina and a Light Tent

Caterina was so kind to make these items for my Victorian house. A pair of men's slippers, books with pages, an envelope of tiny postcards and crocheted potholders which will be the perfect colors for the kitchen. I am in awe of her tiny crochet! Thank you, Caterina!



With the darker months of the year quickly approaching, I decided that I should no longer rely on my bay window as my photo studio. For the cost of some foam core and full spectrum light bulbs, here is my economical solution - a homemade light tent. I can't wait to hear Hubby's reaction when he goes downstairs to the bar in the "man cave" and sees my new studio sitting on top!

  3. It is a great way to set up a photo shoot. Thank you for sharing it.

    I like to use my daylight lamp that has a big circular bulb. Your way is probably better for shooting photos of a group of small pieces.

    "Man Cave" hahah I am still giggling about that.

  4. Carol, Your gifts from Caterina are so wonderful! I LOVE the light box!! You have made such a great looking one! Where did you buy your lights? I need to make one of these for photo taking too. I bought a light tent on ebay but once I opened it I realized I could set it up in my backyard and camp out! It is huge!! Of course I then couldn't figure out how to close it properly and had it in my bedroom opened for a couple of months....LOL

  9. Estupendos regalos, el ganchillo tan fino es muy dificil. Me encanta.
    Yo tambien utilizo ese tipo de estudio fotografico y así no dependemos de la hora del dia, ni del dia sin sol :)
