October New Jewelry

New Material!
I haven't used my blog in sooooooo long.  OK, I'll be honest.  My jewelry photography was terrible and I couldn't figure out what to do to improve.  I didn't quit making jewelry and, in fact, sold quite a bit thanks to my awesome mom---Kathy Jackson of Icebox Antiques and Collectibles in International Falls, MN!

And then I got hurt.  (That deserves a blog of its own.)

Now, I'm sorta on the mend and working my way back.  While I was pretty completely disabled and hopped up on painkillers, I read a few things.  Some of these few things obviously helped me out on the photography issue.  Tadaaaaa!
