Halloween Jewelry

I know I'm a little late to the party since most bead makers put their Halloween jewelry out right after school starts but I just couldn't get in the grove.  I made this skull a couple months ago and he has just been hanging around waiting for the perfect project.  After a few shots at using the skull in a design I landed on this one and I am very happy with it.

I'm glad I don't have to take photos of contrasting jewelry often because it isn't easy to get everything to show up.   My photography has gotten better over the past year but high contrast still stumps me.  If you light it to much then everything light turns to mush and if you don't light it enough it all goes grainy.
