I'd like to see better what they look like so I can steal your ideas. Whats the white furry body material on one of em? Can't tell if it is chenille or not. All white is one of my fav.

Do you have a macro setting? This setting will work much better for close-up shots, but camera needs to be very steady. I usually can't get a good pic by hand so use a small tripod. I also take 3 of the same picts, keep the good and delete the extras once on the computer. The little picture display on my camera is just that, LITTLE, can't always tell if they are blurry or not.
