This is beautiful. What is that, velvet?

For $25 it should be gold spun!

I am doing a product shoot this week for a jewelry maker, Mia, who's website I am building for her new company called The Prettiest Pearl. So I went to the fabric store to get some nice velvet for the backdrop. Fortunately that was all that I had to buy because it was $25 a yard!! There was the velveteen stuff there that was 1/2 the price, but it looked 1/2 as good. I figure that this was an investment so I decided to get the good stuff. It wasn't rolled up like the other fabrics, it was hung on gilded hangers so I felt good about the purchase, at least they presented it well.

When I got home, I was even happier. Mia had supplied me with all of the items that she would normally use at a showing of her lovely pearls, necklace stands, earring stands, and they were all covered in the same high quality velvet like I had just bought. I cannot wait to get setup tomorrow and start snapping away!
