    Someone inquired this morning about the cocoon, and the power of
    halogen lighting that I used for the ink pen photo. I am at a
    different pc right now so I don't know who that was, but here's the
    answer anyway. Here is a link to a photo of the cocoon. 

    http://home.insightbb.com/~diamondeddy2/images/cocoon.jpg 

    It is setting on a piece of plastic used for flourescent ceiling
    lights. The plastic is set up on 2 cardboard boxes, and a halogen
    clip-on type desk lamp with a gooseneck is laying underneath. Then
    there is a halogen desklamp on each side of the 'cocoon'. All 3 lamps
    are 20watts each. The cocoon has 3 holes for camera positioning, and
    is big enough inside to place most jewelry items and even small
    figurines, and other nonjewelry items. There are 3 sizes available
    from Calumet Photo. This is the smaller version for regular $69.95-on
    sale a week or so ago for $59.95. They also give a nice little online
    tutorial in its use that has been useful. I'm sure others have the
    same thing available too. They also have a tent available, that looks
    like a witches hat, in 3-4 different sizes too. It probably works
    just as well as the cocoon. But I am very pleased with this for now
    and will be using it for website pics and ebay too. Not affiliated
    with Calumet or the maker of the cocoon.
