Handy tools for staging
Oftentimes when you are crafting, you will make things that are not meant to be just set on a table. They have some dimension to them, they would actually look better maybe photographed in a more challenging position. Maybe they don't stand upright. That's when you need to think about your staging tools. I've got a couple of crafts over here, I made these little snails, and, they actually do look fine when they're just scooting along on the ground. But they look really cool in a photo when they're stuck to a tree. So what I used was this earthquake putty. This is a really cool tool for crafters. It's reusable, it's movable, and then you can put your crafts just about anywhere you want to get a great shot. It's actually one of my favorite staging tools. I've got a little bag of, of treats I'm going to show with you today, share with you today. That is the earthquake putty. Like I said, it's great for anything that is tilted, anything that is even on a vertical axis. It's really helpful…
