Jewelry Junkies

My DD's and I have spent most of this weekend making jewelry. I took Joey to a beginners class for her birthday last year but we haven't made any since then. Erica just worked it out by herself (we're not doing anything to complex). Bracelets, earrings, necklaces, we made them all. Joey is the only one with pierced ears so Erica said Jo could wear the earrings until she was old enough to have her ears pierced. I'm not a jewelry wearer much at all so most of it I'll give away (if the girls let me).


I was really happy with the exposure and colour of these pics. I cropped and sharpen a wee bit and added a soft light layer set at about 45%. I love the glow soft light adds. I'm using my computer that only has PSE4 so I didn't do any curves adjustment. Does the colour look okay or is it abit cold. I have 2 screens and on one the pics look lovely with a golden glow but on this one they kinda look pale and cold. All comments, opinions, suggestions and CC/HHCC welcome and appreciated.

These are lovely! The color looks good on my screen. Thanks for sharing your technique, I may try to play around with that a bit.
The jewelry looks so cool! That first one is terrific- looks so genuine. The second sets off the new jewels perfectly!
