What do you think? This is my new deer magnet that I have been playing around with in my light box. I think it's time to spice up my Etsy item photos. So long glaring white backgrounds!

It reminds me of a science experiment. It actually is a DIY Light Box I made out of a cardboard box, white Gift Tissue, poster board and tape. I have it set up in my home studio. The light box has been super useful for photographing my items I sell on Etsy.

This pic shows the light box in it's entirety, with my little handmade magnet inside. You can also see another magnet face up in the for ground and an index card I have been using to illustrate scale.
