Light Box

For the last month or two I've been trying my hand at selling all kinds of stuff in all kinds of places. I've spent many hours taking pictures and posting on Ebay and Etsy, and I think it's FUN!

My crafting world was expanded a week or two ago, when I found dozens and dozens of vintage wooden spools at my favorite treasure hunting store. Since then I've been all about the spool dollies, a.k.a."Spoolies"! They are greatly inspired by my friend Dannielle's gorgeous bendy dolls, which you can see by clicking HERE. I want to put some of my spoolies on Etsy but they're just not coming out well in my pictures! I would love to have a fancy camera, but I don't.

So I found THESE instructions on making a light box. Here's the results. It doesn't look so nice, but I think it works! And also, here's a sneak peak at the Spoolies.





Cute little Harry Potter!
Not-so-creepy Halloween girl.

Now that I have this light box, it will obviously start a flurry of buying off of my Etsy site :) The Spoolies are pretty cute though, and I can personalize then with colors and names. My favorite part though, is preserving the vintage spool labels!

By the way, when I do put them in my Etsy shop, you'll be able to see them there in the bar to the left and get there just by clicking on the pictures. Let me know what you think!
