I use a nice Ott-light (floor stand) at my pillow.
I lay my stuff on the floor next to the glass door on a
sunny day. Last time, I moved in a little table and covered
it with black velvet. (I got a yard of cotton velvet as a
premium with a large order of fabric, and have finally
thought up a use for it.)
When I do this, it is important to brace myself against
something stationary, as the slightest vibration will
ruin the picture. I don't have a tripod which would
extend over the pillow, but that would be the ideal
solution.
After moving my latest pictures from his camera to my
computer, DH pulled a drill-press stand out of his closet
and showed me how to screw the camera onto it. (Haven't
pressed my tatting yet, so I haven't tried the idea.) It
may be that you can get a comparatively-cheap gadget for
attaching your camera to something you already have. You
also need a cable release so you can trigger the camera
without pushing on it. (Gah! I know where the drill-press
stand is, but not the cable release. I'm not even sure I
would *recognize* it.)
