Did you read Norma the other day? She posted about a light box idea, she found the information here. I don’t need to tell you that Norma is one clever gal, and if she thinks something is worthwhile, it usually is. (I wonder what she thought of the horny goat weed? I know she blogged that it fell out of her wallet, but I don’t believe she ever blogged its efficacy) So anyway, I decided to give the light box a try. Boar picked up some clamp lamps at Home Depot and I was all set to go.

my basement set up

not too bad for my first attempt. I need to get a truly seamless background – maybe some fabric instead of two sheets of paper and I also need to move the clamp lamps. In many of the pictures you can see their reflections.

In addition to fiddling with the camera, I have been knitting. Knitting and knitting. I am happy to report that I am back to where I was before the big rip. The stockinette stitch is making me batty. I am tempted to pick up another project to alleviate the boredom, but if I do that I will never finish. So I will keep my shoulder to the wheel, nose to the grindstone etc.
