Bling, bling…

I realize that the new website was supposed to be up, oh, 3 weeks ago. And while it was Erin and Mya holding us up for the bulk of the time (I forgive you girls), it’s now me (or I guess my ineptitude when it comes to technology) holding up the unveiling. I’ve been dealing with the website developer/hosting company and I’m not quite sure what it is they’re asking me to do. I’m hoping to have it all sorted by the end of the week and after having a few people proof it for us it should be up and running by late next week; fingers crossed!

It’s always nice when two artists can do ‘tradesies’! One of the moms at my daughter’s preschool designs and makes jewellery. She asked me to do some design work for her and photograph her jewellery pieces. Trading services and products is always fun, so I was game! Alison, the designer, has a lot of nature inspired pieces (dragonflies, flowers, butterflies) so I chose to photograph them on some branches from the ornamental apple tree in my backyard. The photos came out great and her work still manages to be the focus of the image. She’s happy with the photos and logo design and I’ve got two cute new pairs of earrings AND birthday gifts for my MIL and step-MIL. Nice one! To view some of her work click here. Here are a few of the shots I took for her:

This is one of the pairs I chose. Cute and fancy! I'll need to go out for dinner just to show them off!
