Yep, been done before with other neat and small or not so small projects so looks keep going with hooks! I love hooks, made a simple one pounded into wood. But not worth showing, hehe.
If you want shadowless, highly-detailed images of small items, a light tent is a good way. Just create a cone from a translucent material, leaving the top of the cone open just enough for the lens of the camera. Place the cone over the object on a sheet of white paper, and light one or more sides of the cone.
