Rosanne,

    I'm sure the Cloud Dome probably works beautifully, but it seems to
    me a great deal of money to shell out on a plastic bowl.   

    I have been using half of a large Heinz white vinegar bottle in much
    the same way as a Cloud Dome - it has a hole cut in the bottom to
    accept the camera lens (I use an Olympus digital), and it surrounds
    the work to provide even, white reflections all around.   It's also
    sturdy enough to keep the camera fairly steady while shooting.  
    Obviously, there are a few limitations to this setup, especially the
    appx. 5" field of view, but it's a quick, cheap, easy solution.  
    (Oh, and the vinegar is great for soaking off investment!) 

HTH, and happy shooting!
