I made a light box! The first of my many crafty aspirations, it only took me 10 minutes and $1.29.
You're supposed to use "small flash gear" or a regular bulb with your camera balanced to tungsten light, but I don't have flash gear of any size and all my lamps are fluorescent and not bright enough so I used the only tungsten light I have: a 15w desk lamp from Ikea. Not bright enough, but good enough to test with.
The results were pretty good! I definitely need a brighter light and a bigger box...perhaps another layer of trace paper on the outside, but I'm very pleased with the possibilities.

This one was touched up slightly with iPhoto. Not much, cause I'm not that good.
