Jes accompanied me to Bead Monkey this morning and ...ta-da! She picked out the beads, I did the work. I'm going to steal this necklace when she's sleeping.
YAY! I LOOOOOOVE IT!! and p.s. I called my mom, and told her I made her, her eyeglasses necklace, and she said she was literally just thinking about how she still wanted one!!
That is AWESOME too! Love the chain with the pink beads! Wish I could wear necklaces more!! Breeyn has ripped THREE off me now! Hence Why I decided for something else!
Ya know Kari.. have you ever thought of opening your own shop on etsy.com or something like that? Or maybe you already have? lol I just bought a necklace for my sister's birthday from etsy and paid like $36 for it.. it's just a simple silver pendant with her initial stamped on it and beads to match. You could totally do that!
Ginger -- I have thought about it. Etsy just seems so saturated with jewelry. It's overwhelming and I want to stand out. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to start something....
Well I'm not for sure how much money goes in to making this type of jewelry, but I thought $36 was a little outrageous.. I would have preferred to pay maybe $20? but unfortunately I did not find a lot of "shops" on etsy that would offer less than that. I was pressed for time, so I just paid that amount!
I think your talent would stand out by itself :-) but I also think maybe offering a bit lower of a price than everyone else would stand out too.
Kari, I know I have felt the same way about the bags & shirts I make. I've had people say I should sell them online, but it seems like so many people do that already that it would probably end up costing me more than it was worth!
So if ya ever feel like getting a bag or clothing item with pictures and such on it..let me know (I have example if you are!)! I'll obviously give YOU the SVC discount just like you gave ME for my anklet! ;)

kari had the beads, so I only bought the chain and the metal plate and that was less than $13...

Heather, do you have some pictures of some of the stuff you've created? I'd love to peek!
I do! I'll make an album and tag you in it on FB. I have to get Piper ready for dance, so I'll do it this evening when I get home!!!
Ok! Excited to see it!
nice!
