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..
let us know if your box works - I wish I were better at photographing my cards
ReplyDeletewhy are you painting it black wouldn't white be better? can't wait to see it finished
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea. Have fun with it.
ReplyDeleteOn the whole my virgin service is pretty good, but sounds like you've had a bit of a nightmare. Great photo box.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the box!!
ReplyDeleteHello 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
ReplyDeleteCan I ask why you decided on a black light box - I usually see white? Let us know how it works. S #106
ReplyDeleteLight 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!!

Interesting idea. I need more light on my cards too. Let us see the finished product with you get it done! Thanks for sharing. Vickie #30
ReplyDeleteI made my own box with white cardstock. I never thought about black...great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh 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
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm soooo late on my WOYWW comments, it's surprising how many comments boxes take hours to open (Your was ok!)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
