Those scans came out extremely good. I am just thinking of all the things I could have done in the past with a scanner that way that I used a camera and macro lens. The scanner would have been so much easier. I love the beads by the way, I just got a little exited about the scanning thing. Thanks for the tip.

I do have a fairly good digital camera, but these pictures were made on my scanner. (Epson Perfection 1640SU about eight years old.) I arranged the beads on the scanner bed and covered them with a sweater. If you're looking for a good camera, I like my Canon Power Shot G2 fairly well, but it's about 6 years old. I'm sure there are better ones available now, and possibly for a much better price, since the technology was newer then. I spent an arm and a leg on mine and sometimes wished I'd waited for the newer ones and a lower price. I am happy I opted for some add-on lenses at the time, because they make it more versatile when I want close detail -- though I didn't even play around with the closeup lens until just today. I wish I had sooner. It gave me some really good pics of some tiny flowers this morning. Bev, thanks. I do have a fairly good digital camera, but these pictures were made on my scanner.

And what kind of camera have you got? Mine would never capture this detail. What a great post. These are gorgeous, Barbara. And what kind of camera have you

Example would be obsidian, jasper or amber/copal. These make good material for beads, as are tumbled polished quartz. Have you ever tried other crystal types as beads?
