Wanna see what I've been doing?

Jan 14, 2006 18:42

For some time now I've wanted to make myself a hematite pendant, and tonight I finished. This is super long compared to what I usually make, aprox 28 inches long, but I wanted something I could wear with either high or low necks. To make up for how huge that one is, I made myself also a tiny amethyst choker.

art, beads

Thanks! I think this might look even more complicated than it is because I used some expensive nice beads.

Normally I wouldn't either, but I got a small amount of really nice beads as a gift.

These are fabulous! Its lovely when you make stuff yourself, much more unique!
You could start selling some of your work and get good prices for them, I mean, it all looks very neat and finished, I think a fair few people would want your jewllery!

Thank you! It's hard for me to imagine selling things since each one is different.

I think everyone is right you could sell your work. It is really gorgeous and if you are ever up for a trade I would love to trade a piece of my jewelry for one of yours. Also I have a great place to go to get gemstones very cheap. I think I still have your number can I call you tonight around 9 pm eastern? We can discuss jewelry and selling it etc.

That's incredibly nice of you, but I honestly don't produce enough stuff right now to really sell it. I made the hematite for myself and I'm reluctant to give it up as I made it for a specific reason (hematite as shielding stone) and the amethyst I don't think I can sell because I'm not 100 percent sure the stone is secure.

If you do know of a cheap supplier though, I'd love to hear about it. The stones and crystals I use right now are undrilled, but polished, which for me works better with clearish stones, though it would hardly matter on things like hematite. Drilled crystals would work naturally and might stay in better. Everything around here is so expensive.

You can definitely call!! The only thing is that if Sean is home and he has to make any business calls, then the line is his, and I can't always know ahead of time.
