I'm selling my practically new Nodal Ninja MKII. It was used twice right after I received it for Christmas of 2012. It's great. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. I like the product so much I opted to upgrade (with gift certificates from my family) to the Nodal Ninja Ultimate M1-L and so now having two pano heads is redundant.

This award-winning NN3 MKII Starter Package from Nodal Ninja makes it possible for you to produce high resolution single row or multi-row panoramic photos using your point-and-shoot digital camera or lightweight DSLR. This package includes the smallest panoramic tripod head on the market (it weighs just 1.04 lb), detent rings, camera plate, detent ring rotator and a hard-shelled carry case.

Smallest Panoramic Tripod Head Available
FULL Rotation UP with Many Cameras
Fits Almost All Point and Shoot Cameras
Adjust Tension Easily by Tightening Knob
Ball Bearing Plunger for Smooth Rotation
Precision Click Ball Replaces Detent Pin
CNC-Machined Detent Rings for Precision
Easy-to-Change Detent Ring
Rubberized Metal Knurled Knobs
Reversible Detent Rings

Starter Package includes:

Nodal Ninja 3 MKII pano head with standard detent ring rotator.
Hard shelled carry case with dual zippers.
2nd generation Camera Mounting Plate (CP-CP2)
Detent Rings: 15/0, 45/60.
2 ea Metal Rail Stops Hex Key + Misc parts.

The NN3 MKII is compatible with most point-and-shoot digital cameras, and you have full rotation UP with many cameras and wide-angle lenses. The lower rotator design features a tension knob without an inner lock screw, so you can adjust the tension very easily by just tightening the knob. The "standard" rotator uses reversible brass detent rings that give the sound and feel of click stops. Having these different click stops allows the user to select how many degrees of rotation between shots.

Included detent rings offer the following number of click stops to form a 360 degrees = 0, 6, 8, and 24 stops.

Optional detent rings (available separately) offer the following number of click stops to form a 360 degrees = 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, 18, and 20 stops.

Precision detent rings, a ball-bearing detent plunger, and a precision click ball that replaces the detent pin provide greater precision, smooth rotation and click stops, and decreased wear. You can also mount your camera in either landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) orientation. Add one-knob adjustable resistance for horizontal panning, and the process of producing a panoramic photo becomes a walk in the park for real estate photographers, hikers, and travelers.

"Here comes the bride!" in this sweet vintage pillbox style hat from Lord and Taylor, New York. I believe it's made with raw silk (although unable to verify -- it feels like silk) and raffia accents. The hat shows some signs of light wear (please refer distress on tag and grosgrain ribbon on image #5) that is commensurate with its age but it is in very good vintage condition.

Now Available on Etsy: Fairy On a Spool - Spoolie Fairy - Mixed Media Art

noreply@blogger.com (Glamour Bomb) — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:00:00 +0000

Purchase on Etsy here.

This sweet little fairy babe sits in a nest on top of an antiqued spool.

While is often believed that faeries are bright and sparkly in colour, this is not necessarily true for some varieties of the woodland kind. When the mama of a wee woodland fairy leaves the nest to get food for baby she is often gone for long periods of time. The baby is protected by her camouflage colour and waits patiently unseen until the mother returns with delicious fairy fare.

Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. ~ William Butler Yeats

Now Available on eCrater: 50ml of Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution - Archival and Acid Free

noreply@blogger.com (Glamour Bomb) — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:57:00 +0000

Purchase 50ml of Walnut Ink on eCrater!

Throughout the centuries walnut ink was used in the arts and letters.

However, bet you didn't now that in ancient times walnut ink was used to stain the hands of gypsy criminals in Europe because once stained, it's extremely difficult if not impossible to wash off and it remains in the skin for a long time.

In more modern times, walnut ink is used in scrapbooking to beautifully age and distress papers. Be sure to use card stock or pattern paper with no coatings on it.

One of the best tutorials I found was from kandrewdesigns on YouTube. Check it out here.

Source: TheScrapbookStore.net

Some other techniques I learned from the TheScrapbookStore.net include a wax resist technique in which you draw a design on your tag or paper with a white or light crayon, then wipe across the paper with the walnut ink to reveal your handiwork. You can also scratch the paper with a paper clip or fork tip. The scratches will darken when the ink is applied.

That said, scrapbookers aren't the only enthusiasts of walnut ink. It can also be used to dye or stain practically anything including wood, pottery, yarn, cotton, muslin and wool.

However you use walnut ink, just remember that it is water soluble so your finished product should be sprayed with a fixative or sealer.

This walnut ink is sourced from California Black Walnuts (juglans californica) which are protected native trees within the state. The ink is preservative free to maintain its archival quality. It is bottled in dark amber glass as walnut ink is sensitive to direct sunlight. It's best to keep it refrigerator when not in use.

Oh, and special thanks to the Graphics Fairy for the artwork used on my product label.

Starting New

noreply@blogger.com (Glamour Bomb) — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:40:00 +0000

Hello everybody.

After several years of posting news and shop updates here I've decided to wipe the slate clean and start over.

The main reason was that many of my posts here were no longer relevant as soon as the item sold. I love the fact they sold, and I hope that my customers enjoyed their purchases.

However, when people were searching for something in my site only to discover it was sold, well, it could be a little frustrating for them.

So here I am, starting from scratch with my shop updates. My main blog featuring freebies, tutorials and more still remains untouched and fully retro.

However, here on the "Shop" tab I invite you to stay tuned for new cool stuff I sell on my website as well in Etsy shop.
