Lola, meet everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the newest member of my team. Lola is here to assist me in photographing some of my jewelry. Not the actually taking of pictures mind you (you all know how much I like to do that myself). No, Lola is here to help me model my latest line of necklaces. She has a long history of modeling, but has primarily worked in the hair industry. This is her first foray into the world of jewelery modeling. As such, she required a bit of prepping in order to be fully prepared. As you can see from the photo below, she was a bit, as my kids noted, freaky looking.
Lola's transformation began with deciding what her new skin tone should be. So many options are available in spray paint these days it was hard to choose. Luckily I found the perfect one at Micheal's. It was this very groovy faux stone finish called Misty Manhattan. I was stoked, but also skeptical. How would a substance with tiny little rocks in it spray from an aerosol can? Well, turns out the answer is not well at all. In fact, not at all period. Back to Micheal's for an exchange.
Unfortunately I have no pictures of Lola with the little bit of rock spray paint I did manage to get out of the can. Suffice to say it was just enough to make having to re-sand her a pain in the tukas.
Lesson learned. Keep it simple. Glossy white it is. Lola took to her new look swimmingly. See how beautiful she is now.
... and what a beautiful neckline she has
So join me in welcoming Lola. I hope to be working with her for a very long time. New pics with Lola and the new necklaces will be coming soon. Stay tuned.
