I'm going to start with Pamela of Bazketmakr. I don't generally consider myself a very visual person, but if I read that her tiny basket is 10mm x 14mm I just think "Ok, that's pretty small". For me, seeing one balancing on her fingertip is a fabulous use of a prop! Now I *really* know it's tiny!
Aileen used a hydrangea flower and some stones to set off her new cuff. I think the colours in the flower really enhance her work.
LaughingFridge guessed (correctly in my case!) that we'd misread the title of her musical background behind this froggy magnet!
ZaftigDelights uses a huge soup bowl to hang her earrings from. I like the hint of reflection in the shiny surface.
I'm picturing Jackie from DogDaisy gazing around her kitchen and spotting the lemons she's used in this photo. The contrasting textures and colour work really well.
Nikid uses slices of lime to enhance her gorgeous chocolate clouds
Own up - how many of you are now desperate for chocolate? I shall have to ask Nikid for commission ;-)

I love that fiber art piece - amazing!
And the chocolates, here I thought they were meringues! How did I miss they are chocolate?!?!?

Wow, I really do love how the props make the items pop!
Liking the look of the chocolate clouds, does she do samples...............!
I tend to have no props no colour, nothing! I use white wall and white card or mantle shelf and use shadow.
Otherwise in the garden against white painted brick wall, white old painted door or a mosacic shell wall.
The only prop I can think of I love and will be using again is the olf chair (with no seat..

These are such fabulous photos, Heather! Thanks for sharing all these photo prop ideas, and thank you for showing off my soup bowl technique! ;o)

Thanks everyone - and blondedesign that's the most perfect use of a chair with no seat!
Jaci you got me worried then, thought I'd misrepresented nikid's work!
Great Heather! Thank you so much : ) I'll have to get creative over the next while with the props though as the garden flowers are all dying off. I think there is one hardy bit of honeysuckle left then it will be shop bought flowers....what a shame, I'll have to buy myself flowers every week!
Those chocolate clouds have me reaching for a teaspoon and the Nutella jar as a way of fulfilling the instant craving they gave me!
HEY - THANKS! I did not expect to see my key lime clouds here! Every item you included is AWESOME! Nice products and pictures everyone!
