Finally got my camera and photo tent - these are my very first photos and after I get back from 2 weeks in the UK I'll be able to play with this and do a better job with the photography - give me a couple years and I'll get better at the pens... The camera is the Canon SD1100 IS - Amazon had a special running where you get the camera and a photo printer for $169 (and free shipping) - but it's pink (breast cancer awareness package - I can deal with pink). The reviews I read about this camera and its digital macro capability were very positive and for not doing any tweaking whatsoever (no gray card, out of the box lights and flash) it seems promising - need some work on the glare here and there, and the chopstick holder was the only thing handy and not what I'd want to use. Used the $40 photo tent / light set also available at Amazon (also generally postive reviews, though folks seemed to think the lights are underpowered).
The pens are all finished in straight CA, 6-9 coats thin, plus 2-3 medium on a couple of them. One more photo in a sec...
