The top photo is both over AND under exposed, as well as poor contrast. It aslo show a strong hot spot, which completely obliterates the subject matter. All photos seem to have been shot in day light, which casts a strong blue overtone. Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

Create something new, use your artistic talents, come up with a hook. The pictures are not well done, it's difficult to really see the stones, the finishing, etc. Part of this is due to size and part is due to being out of focus, too light, etc. Good beginnings. |

On or around Sat, 12 Jul 2003 07:41:43 GMT, there was a message,
possibly from Abrasha , as follows: All photos seem to have been shot in day light, which casts a strong blue overtone. The pics appear to be shot outdoors on a mirror-- bad idea. The film seems to be of the right color temperature (outdoor film), and does not appear to me to be adding blue. It is just correctly portraying the blue of the sky. I would suggest that if the original poster plans to shoot outside, put the jewelry on a sheet of medium grey paper and filter the light through something translucent to reduce any direct reflections and hot spots. Keep white cards and crushed aluminum foil handy to experiment with filling shadows. Shoot aperture priority mode with the aperture very small so that the whole necklace will be in focus. Add a screw-on magnifying lens ($20) or reverse the lens to help get things in closer focus. Cheers, m |

OK, I think I know what you mean. I have seen it in a book that calls it a
wrapped loop. I've tried to do this with round nose pliers but the loop turns out lumpy. Thanks, -- Connie Ryman Cryman Studio "Marggi" wrote in message ... Wires that go through the bead, then wrap around to make a jump ring. It is a way to atatch beads to chain. Rosaries are made this way, if that helps you to picture it. I can send you a picture of it if you want. Marggi "C Ryman" wrote in message ... What are pigtail wires? -- Connie Ryman |

Wrapped loop pretty much describes it. It helps to use thin gauge wire, and
anneal it well, or order it dead soft. With the thin wire, that's where you need the "pigtail" business, you wrap the wire around next to the bead after you have formed the loop, to keep ring from opening, especially with silver. The rosaries I have seen use much stiffer wire and do not bother with the wrap. I love the look, and it is a good way to use up leftover beads. Marggi "C Ryman" wrote in message ...

thing? isn't coincidence amazing? ah- here's the link Swanstrom Pliers - http://www.riogrande.com/images/pres...swanpliers.pdf okay- it's the press release not the tool itself, but do a search at the Rio site and they will surely appear!
