Powerful skills in times of need (475 hits)

I discovered how to make polymer clay beads and began to fashion a few bracelets to sell. I’m just a beginner still. I experiment with different, simple jewelry making techniques - stringing, wire working, and knotting – using techniques I learned from jewelry books. A jewelry making hobby can be addictive and expensive, so I’ve decided to see if others think that I have enough talent to sell them.

Check out my skills;

I like them. I would try them out at a local yard sale/ flea market just to see how they go over. Or, you could have a family/family wear one as advertising.
There is a magazin call Female Creations that sells items that women creates. Check them out @ www.femalecreations.com

I thought about making clip-on earrings because I can't seem to find them in the stores anymore. I have some fabric key-chains I made last year that I will put on sale next week. I'm beginning to feel creative again, I just might get motivates enough to make some African fashion.

Irma
you know you're just joking. I put the red, white, and blue beads on line because the colors look so good together. I have never been able to sell anything I've made using those colors. I wonder why?

Your right Irma
Making crafts has been a relaxing hobby. I use to make African dolls with modern clothes. They were my best sellers. I hadn't worked on my crafts in a while because I became unmotivated. I purchased an airbrush two years ago and haven't use it yet.
