Its Wednesday......so its time to hop around the desks of the world looking at a)some gorgeous artwork, b) some fabulous craft spaces, and sometimes even c...some seriously messy desks that make you feel SO much better about your own non-too-tidy space!
You'll need to pop over to visit our leader
Julia ,and use that as your starting point! Be warned, you may be some time................
My desk today is my jewellery desk. I'm just about starting a necklace to match a bracelet I did yesterday....
Mostly natural light, so the colours are pretty much true to life. Which can't be said for the pic of the matching bracelet, taken under my photo lights......
The phenomenon that is the good old 'alexandrite effect' strikes again! The purpley-lilac hue totally colour shifts under artificial light, becoming very blue! The crystal on the end of the butterfly is a Swarovski, alexandrite in colour. Exactly the same as the box of them in the front of the main desk pic! Even the round glass beads slap bang in the middle of the main pic go a very pale blue, almost clear colour, as you can see from the third big bead to the left of the butterfly. So weird, and flipping annoying when taking pics when its a bit dark and natural light isn't an option!
Bit of a closeup of another new favourite finding, the butterflies....
Love these, they're gorgeous! Now having to stop myself using them all the time........!!
Have a great WOYWW everyone, thanks for visiting! I'm now off to visit all of you!
Love Trish xx

I'm loving all the colours - morphed or not but I know how you feel when a photo tells a fib and you feel like blushing! I know you are not quite a pale pastel gal and will imagine some extra zing to make you feel better! Thanks for sharing with WOYWW? Sarah at 1.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only who gets challenged by my photos! Whatever the colours may be the jewellery looks very pretty, I'm always very envious of those who can do this, but my fingers just don't seem to be able to cope with little things - beads are always on the floor!! Not showing my desk today, just being nosey (actually I forgot it was Wednesday, what am I like). TFS Cindy
ReplyDeleteOoh, love the beadwork, and that blue melon bead especially!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Thanks and hugs!

Those are fabulous! sorry to be late getting around, but your blog was certainly worth the stop!
ReplyDeleteJoin in on my give away if you wish:)
Beautiful! The colours are lovely and the butterfly charm such a pretty touch.
ReplyDeleteI don't expect the are too many customers who would mind if you used a butterfly on every piece while you're going through a phase! The beads are gorgeous, am fascinated that they photograph so differently.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! My favourite bead is probably the blue melon one too. Happy (late) WOYWW :)
