Melange Jewelry Shoot 2

When I shot Melange Jewelry's wonderful gems a few months back, Rachelle wasn't 100% satisfied with them, so of course I wanted to re-shoot to make sure that she receives something she feels great about. We didn't do all of them because she's going to test what looks best on her website: the photos from the last shoot or the new ones on black.

What do you think?

I like the black ones a lot. The reflection really creates a warmth depth to each of them.



And then here's another one that we both loved, but didn't fit with the rest because it was horizontal.

And now that I see them on a black backdrop, i can see that they need a little more editing. Well, here's the point, they'll be replaced soon.

Bake Sale for Wear Recycle

Hi Everyone,

I will be having a bake sale at Third Thursday to help pay for my Wear Recycle project.

You can find info on the project at nickywatts.blogspot.com. There is scattered info on it through out the blog, so feel free to look through past months for a thorough understanding of the project.

The money will go directly to:

-paying the hair and makeup artists who have been doing a great job on the photo shoots

-getting the 8X10 negatives printed on large pieces of recycled paper (this needs to be experimented with to see what will be most successful. Right now I'm looking at digital printing and liquid emulsion.)

-Plexi-glass boxes for the presentation of the sculptures

-and frames for the recycled paper 8x10 prints

Right now I am taking pre-orders for loaves of bread. For those of you who were at Sharon's studio for her 1 yr anniversary, you tried the carrot/zucchini bread (it was yummy).

It is $5 per loaf and the chooses are:

carrot and zucchini
carrot
zucchini
and banana

At the bake sale I will also have

Milk Chocolate Fudge with almonds (Great-Gramma Watts' recipe updated)

A Dark Chocolate with Cinnamon and Cumin (Great-Gramma Watts' recipe updated)

Peanut butter cookies (Great-Gramma Watts' recipe)

Toll House Squares (Great-Gramma Watts' stolen from old Toll house ;))

Rice Crispie Treats

Brownies (Great-Gramma Watts' recipe from scratch!)

There will also be the above breads available per slice. and Ann Petit from Suede Studios will be making some Vegas chooses.

I'm sure I will come up with more by then, but this is what is on the list so far. Just send me an email if you want to pre-order anything.

I can also take pre-orders for batter if you want to get a whole batch of something. I have been experimenting with freezing batter and so far every thing I've tested has turned out great. I haven't tested the bread batters though, so I wouldn't recommend me freezing you some of that because I can't be sure it will come out "Watts quality" ;).

The Make Up Artist has mentioned making some key lime pie too, so that just might be in the line up too. ;)
