Lil Bits Project 365 +1 - 2008 through my eyes: Day #67 - My Blue Period

Thursday, March 8, 2007

Lew bought this blue topaz for me at a local jewelry
fair and then had the necklace setting made for it.

Southern Girl said...: Ooo, that's beautiful! My birthstone is a topaz, but the only shade you ever see associated with November is that ugly yellow/gold one. Blech! I'd like my birthstone better if it was blue like that one. ;); 3/08/2007 4:37 PM

Debi said...: Wow! Marianne, this photo is amazing! LIke it should be in a fancy jewelry catalog or something. I have such a hard time with this type of photo.
Great shot!; 3/09/2007 8:51 AM
marianne said...: Thanks so much, all - I'm glad you like it. I really had to work hard on this one - can't tell you how many tries it took to get a good shot that wasn't all washed out by the light. I really need to learn more about lighting!

Yes, I think I'll keep my guy around for awhile longer - he's very good to me. :); 3/09/2007 4:31 PM
