Hi KJ
Pics look great, huge file sizes tho that take forever to download. If you're going to do ebay selling you'll need to learn how to reduce the file size of the pics also. Yours are all over 100kb, you should try to get them down around 20kb.
You're wraps look really nice, I like them all very much.

Hi KJ. I was wondering when those cabs would start showing up here. The first stone looks like a dyed agate. As for your wraps, well they look fantastic and you really made those cabs look great.
Your photos look great too and the file size doesn't make any difference to me because I have a high speed connection. If you are using Photoshop for your photos, when you save them, use the "Save for Web" option and lower the quality down to 30, and that will give you a file size of around 30kb or less for the size photos you posted.
But the lighting, backround, and composure is excellent in your photos, and so is your wrapping.

The wraps look fine. The photos are a little dark. I think the glittery object in the background may have thrown off the light metering. Bright clear photos sell the item!

i didn't see any that needed tearing up to start over so is the moonstone not in these? i think you did a super job on them all. i like the crystal flowers in the background but it does seem to have darkened pics 2 and 4.

Super job on those - I specially like the first one! How did you like working with the half hard wire? I have 24 gauge half hard sterling silver and I HATE it - it,s so hard to work with specially wrapping around the stone - looks like you got the hang of it - they all look great!

Very good job and very nice stones!

These are all Wonderful! I too especially like the first one. I love the overall round shape of the wrap. It looks like a special little cage made for your treasure! I really love your mixture of Smooth and twisted sections. The Twisted area's look almost faceted in spots which creates a whole bunch of sparkled, and Twinkled areas on the piece! These design's are unique and beautiful! I don't see you having any trouble selling these. The only problem I see is that you may not be able to make them fast enough for the demand!   star**** |

Your wrqps look nice, the 4th pic I can't tell what the stone is, something dark. I would recommend using some kinda light box to take your pics in. There have been some threads on the subject but I can't remember where.

Thanks for all the comments-Tweet, I hate HH! The moonstone is the 4th one down. I've been using natural light behind and holding a table lamp over the top for lighting- I'll try a light box Robert-my husband keeps telling me they are too dark also.
I've got a booth reserved at my first craft show in October-just a local church. I'll see how it all goes!
Thanks again!
KJ

They are all very nice. When I grow up, I want mine to look like that.

Awesome, I especially like the snowflake wrap, looks like a black apple with white spots. Beautiful job on the wire!!
