WOYWW

WOYWW time again already....didn't think  I was going to make it this week as we have had internet trouble again. We were off all day yesterday and the Virgin team, as they so grandly call themselves, cheerfully informed me that there was a problem in our area and that we would be back on at 9.30 on the 18th.....excuse me????18th????? I had a bit of a rant I am afraid....we have had so many problems lately it was the last straw yesterday, it was a bad day and I was already stressed out. Anyway we are back on this morning...but at a snails pace so I don't think it will last.
SO with no internet yesterday i resorted to one of the organisational jobs on my to do list....
What the heck is it???

Well some time ago I made a very crude attempt at a photo box, somewhere to photograph my cards etc. The box I made was bulky and I came across this nice thin box which originally contained some 12x12 papers. I have adapted it and am now making lots of mess trying to paint the inside black. I didn't want to line with paper as I found with the last box that I could always see the paper joins in the photos. Need to try to finish this today now as everything is in my way!

Well that's me done. Pop over to Julia's blog to see everyone else.
hugs..

  5. Hello Diane, hope you are still able to get on to the Internet and read our comments, otherwise you're going to have a lot of comments to read by the 18th! I've got a box waiting to be converted into a light box but I was planning to line it with white paper - now I've read your post it's back to the drawing board. I'll be interested to know how your photographs come out with a black background. Elizabeth x #61

  6. Can I ask why you decided on a black light box - I usually see white? Let us know how it works. S #106

  7. Light boxes are really, really useful but I've never seen a black one before, although I looked back at your photos and they look great, so it must be working!!

  12. Oh a last someone else you is using black - I dont have a light box but I have some sheets of A3 black card folded so I can take photos with a clear back ground - I find white gave to much glare and didnt show my cards up nicley on the black they always seem to stand out more ~ Nicky no.6

  13. Sorry, I'm soooo late on my WOYWW comments, it's surprising how many comments boxes take hours to open (Your was ok!)
    I use black too, it's an old posh hat box I think, but I have used a large white shoe box and a shoe box that has script writing inside it, because i thought it looked cool, all with my day light bulb lamp shining on them... Have a great week end!
