I'm in love with a ...king

My newest beads arrived for some time now,but I didn't have the proper time for them.Today I ,finally,started to take care of them.
So,after today , as I said in the topic's title I'm in ...  

with my gorgeous Oak King:


I put him and the Dystopic Heart on my "Thinking of Sita" FB bracelet:


  

Fantastic collection! I love all the faerybeads    

I was trying to find the bead at 5 oclock the wheel style one only is not on the site. Is it deleted?
The more I have seen that heart I like it.

That is the Ruff bead.No,it's not deleted,it never was on the site ,as a bead/product.It is in a picture of 'Thinking of Holland" collection ,which was ,first,on BT(http://www.beadthrilled.com/t13826p40-faerybeads-tulip-lock) ,so I asked Sita if I can buy one and I did.It is a perfect match for the beret and the trompe l'oiel. 

Spectacular bracelets and photo's Chestersnickers!     

I would love to know what equipment you use for taking pictures. 
And I'm so pleased you like your new treasures!  

The Ruff bead so far is still a 'prototype', sorry. Sometimes I can't make up my mind about certain designs whether or not to release. But if it is wanted I'm happy to oblige. 

I've been finishing quite a few new (re)designs/prototypes that I'll be sharing soon, hopefully.

Finally! A wrist shot of Valkyrie! Awesome.

Love your Bracelet and Photos

Love your bracelet. It is stunning. Love the faerybeads.

Beautiful bracelet!!! and very impressive photos!!

If you don't do this professionally, both take photos and collect beads and design bracelets, you should! Wow!   

wow...Chester! A true masterpiece it is, the beads itself and what you did with them, love it so much and could look all day at it!       

Exquisite bracelet.  All your Faerybeads are perfect but I do think the Oak King is a star amongst stars.  I must get him soon.

Love the way you made your bracelet make each bead stand out on it's own!! Awesome pictures!

The Ooak King looks amazing with the Parrot Tulip !

As I said on the BT celebration post, because of BT and love of beads ( especially yours Sita ) I decided to learn how to make macro/product photos . So ,now I have another "problem" beside beads.Photography equipment, software,etc.
I have a Canon 5D Mark III, macro lenses 100mm and 180mm ( and 24,24-105,70-200mm,but not for macro purposes), continuous lights fluorescent and LED at 5500K , a Novoflex quadropod with head,quick release plates , a whole bunch of small photo accessories and a photo table I built looking at the ones on the market, but mine is much stronger and the polycarbonate and plexiglass sheets are considerably less bendable and much thicker.
And I'm using my daughter room as studio, I squeezed her bed and other stuff in her learning part of the room,but every time she comes home from school, I have to pack and move everything.    

But this isn't enough, after that, comes Photoshop with a series of plug-ins .
And long, many hours of learning and thousands of trials.
For example ,the Oak King final picture is ,actually , made from 16 different focused photographs and the whole bracelet is made from 24 pictures.   

OMG - you must be a true perfectionist   

I love the bracelet - I would never have thought of combining the beads with each other and am happy for your lovely lovely inspiration!!!!

Amazing photography set-up. I am in awe!

Photography ! OMG !   

nearly fainting when looking at your professional photo studio! Great!
Could do with something like that, got my Faun but he is so difficult to get a nice picture, he is very detailed, you can almost see the hair in his nostrils   but Fauns seem to be very very shy, only your equipment could do a good job!    my skills can't do him proper justice!

Very detailed studio. What fun! And your bracelet is outstanding. Well done!

Yowza! When you do something, you do it right.

Well, I guess Faerybeads deserves no less!
