How to: photograph your craft

craftcamera.jpgIt's all very well making something lovely and putting it in pride of place in your home. Or whipping up something wonderful and passing it on to a grateful pal. The thing is that once it's done you're proud of your creation and you want to share it with the masses.

You have two options. You can either take it door to door around your neighbourhood and see if you are lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you art and hopefully not someone who looks shifty and is possibly hiding bodies under the patio. Or you can take a kick-ass photo and then use the wonder that is the worldwide web to pimp it to the world from the comfort of your home.

Not too clever with a camera? Fear not. Let Leethal, crafty queen with a camera, give you a shove in the right direction.

Her blog has a marvellous selection of tips on taking photos of your craft with or without a lightbox. Using tin foil, natural sunlight, cardboard boxes and some clever positioning you can create your own little photo studio.

She also helps you out on how to make your own lightbox so you can go all Annie Leibovitz with your handmades without splashing the cash.

Come on, crafty creations, vogue!
