Boot straps?

No, actually. These are watch straps (or bands, I should say) that I'm currently auctioning off on ebay.

Since my photog skills are still developing (I made a camera joke, hee) I thought I would try to take some 'macro' shots of one of my auctions. Jewelry photography is an art form, as I am quickly coming to realize, and good photographers probably don't get the credit they deserve.

This is the auction: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230173129363&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=013

Everything in the first 2 pics is in this lot! The remaining 3 pics are some detail shots - you can see the stampings "genuine leather" on a number of these. Grab 'em while you can! ;)

Another gorgeous fall day, sunny, bright, and warm.

Today I drove my son to school along a stretch of lovely suburban road lined with tall, gnarled, old-growth maples. With the early-morning sun glinting off the top leaves (stained a fiery red with the recent cold snap) it's one of the prettiest sights in my neighbourhood. I'll have to get a pic of it when I'm not driving.

Today I need to start on a Halloween swap I'm in... I want to alter a little sectioned cardboard box I've set aside. The swap is for a family with a 3 year old girl, so I thought of putting in some shiny cute stickers in each of the sections... it's all percolating right now.

For today, here's my first little "shrine" or altered art matchbox.

My daughter is playing in her soccer final early tomorrow morning. Go Blizzards!!

Might help if I added in the auction link ... *grumble grumble*.... ;)
