New Button Strand Necklaces
November 22nd, 2011
I made a few of these necklaces a while ago and had difficulty decided on how to photograph them. I played around with a few ideas and never really made any conclusions as to the best approach. I not only find them hard to photograph, I also find them hard to display at craft fairs as well! So I decided to have another go today as I’ve thought about a way I could package them up into bags ready for display/sale and might add some to my shop this week.
I made a few more necklaces recently for my craft fair in Edinburgh but didn’t sell any and I think a lot of that is down to the way they are displayed. So I’m going to try and see if packaging them in lovely bags would make them more sell able. In the meantime I want to try and sell them online as well, so I’ve opted to go for a nice casual photographic style of just laying the necklaces on my wooden board and letting them twist and turn in all directions. This shows off all the buttons and the flow of the strands. I can give details on necklace length in the product description. I think these images are lovely and I’m really happy with them… what do you think?
I’d really appreciate your comments! Please comment below…

for some reason i like the ones where the necklaces are in more organic shapes and less amoebic shapes? I don’t know why at all, maybe i can see what it looks like more as a necklace? I love what you are doing with the buttons!!

I agree with what Rachel said above, about the more organic shapes being more appealing to the eye for the reason that you can more easily envision what it would look like wore on a person. The first, and second-to-last photos are my favourites though : )
