Close up
I've been thinking about taking good pictures of the things that I have made, and went out to buy a nice patterned piece of paper to use as a backdrop for the small things that I have. And I took some close up pictures of the cupcakes I made:
I really like the background, but I think I need to add more light when taking the pictures, and fiddle around a bit with the camera to try get a more clear picture, but I am liking what I see so far ^_^
Also good news, I was requested by a friend of mine to make a custom order for them for some rabbit hats!
I'm charging $25 at Wai-con for the hats, but for a friend discount, it will be $15, and also since they want two.
I went shopping today at Officeworks to buy some resealable bags, stick on labels, and some cool metallic markers, for packaging the cupcakes, and hats, since I only have the really small bags at the moment for the charms and magnets.
They finally had in stock the glue gun refills for my big purple glue gun, but so expensive! i may only use it for big projects from now on, and the small pink gun for the delicate stuff.
I just noticed that as I take the pictures of the cupcakes I zoom in closer and close ... lol. Anyway, today is my last day of work before my two week break!! I'm very happy that I finally go on break and get to concentrate making my things more. And some exciting news, we're going to get another puppy! Pooki is adorable as heck, but I'm sure I mentioned before but my younger sister's dogs had eight puppies - well, one died unfortunately because it was really little and the runt of the litter, poor thing, and so now they have seven.
Anyway, they're now old enough to go to homes, and they are selling them to a pet shop after Christmas, and she's going to give one to us! It's mainly because my dad adores guard/working dogs, and they're a mix of both, and a big breed, and mostly black, so hopefully if all goes well we'll have one by this Saturday! Some pictures:
All seven puppies! They'e now double the size from these last photos - they grow really quickly!
