I really love your bracelets, the chunky design is very cool Your banner is great! and your overall shop look is nice as well. Only thing I could say is that in some of your pictures the item has a huge shadow on one side and from what i've read about taking good photos, that's not so good. like this as an example

pinkbubble- Try taking pictures outside in a diffused light. you can always hang a sheet behind the items for a crisp clean background. Read the postings in the pictures forum there's some great tips in there for taking awesome pics!

LOL I would have had no idea that you were a photographer. My husbands step brother is a photographer and some of his photos are amazing...but he has a crazy expensive camera and a ton of experience lol I wish I could have him come take my product pics but he lives all the way in florida! He actually just took family pictures of us while we were there last month and they turned out fantastic.

I would love to make hats for your daughters.  Looking forward to hearing from you!

thanks guys.  However the weather doesnt really help in trying to get decent pictures!!

although i did buy a natural white light lamp, so i'm going to purchase another and make a light box and see if they improve and get those shadows out.

also thinking about reducing my prices for my newer items...really need a sale!!!!

and mimi, thats my youngest daughters nickname:D  i love your crochets hats, i'm going to convo you about making 2 for my daughters if possible

Amzjewellerydesigns From what I can see I like your stuff.  But from the photos all I see is sparkle.  I can't see what the jewelry looks like in low light.  Maybe try hanging a white sheet behind where the sun is coming from.

I'm one to talk I'm having so many photo issues.

Wish you luck

I would love some serious input on my shop.  As you can see I have not had a sale yet, but I am patient. I've been relisting several items and trying to correct earlier mistakes.  I've listed 4 new items titled Bold and beautiful if you could comment on those to see if I'm getting it.  Sorry I don't know how to give you the listing links.  rosepetalsjewelry@etsy.com

I'll bite, where's my profile tab?

Thanks for the info.  Let's see if it worked for me....
