"Display your jewellery on a live model so your customers can see what it looks like when worn"
So says all the selling advice.

A bracelet gracefully displayed on a slim and elegant hand. An earrings swinging from a shell-pink ear and a necklace artfully draped around a curvacious swan-like neck. Yep that should do it.
I tried my hand - not exactly slim and elegent and eeeek where did those brown spots come from?
The ears - well less said the better, and the swan-like neck is fast becoming more like a turkey neck, wattles and all!
Necklace is easy, lots of a mannequins available. I have one coming that conveniently hangs from a coat hanger and stores in the wardrobe.
Bracelet and earrings, hmmmmmmm though of 'liberating' the hand of a store mannequin and briefly toyed with the idea of kidnapping some young nubile female with all the above attributes and hold her captive as my live model, but the food and maintenance bill would probably kill me so I came up with this.
I have the same problem (brown spotty hands, wattle neck, the ears aren't too bad) and trying to get my young nubile daughter to model for me is pretty much impossible. I love the drawing of the hand the best. As they say 'necessity is the mother of invention' and you've been very inventive indeed.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the photo! It is perfect!
ReplyDeletewhat a good idea!! thanks for sharing!! i never try my earrings..it's a very clever way to show it!!
ReplyDeleteI like the drawing - much better than a 2D photo. Of course, a nubile young female is an interesting idea - if costly. But maybe she could keep you company and, you know, also do the housework, so you have more time to create? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, do you really want a customer that hasn't enough imagination to picture themselves with your lovely jewelry...
I love the drawings! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteSo clever as an idea! I'd rather prefere the drawings! :)
