Spring Cleaning Day

Check it out! I finally figured out how to round the corners of my photos. I'm really tempted to do this all the time because I think it's that cool. Though, I don't want to wear it out either. For those of you who are interested in how I did it, I used Gimp 2.2 . Trey introduced me to this handy little photo editing tool last night, and now I am somewhat compelled to play on the computer all day.
As you can see, I've been very busy in the studio trying to organize and clean all the clutter off my desk. I've tacked all of my pendants to my inspiration board, as well as a few loose bead packs, and I displayed the bead vials (color coordinated) that fit with the colors of this season's clothing and accessories trends. Now, I'm ready to make some new jewelry in my clean studio. It's such a nice feeling, like a breath of fresh air.

Now, how cool is the photo below? I managed to take it this morning and love the gradient effect of the background, not to mention how the pendant looks suspended in mid air.
