Thanks! Not as yet, but my parents travel around to car shows where they set up a booth to sell things, and I've been thinking about sending some things with them. So far I've only given them as gifts though. smile

such nice things.
making jewellery is a dream career for me, i have no skills in that department, it's just one of the things that i know i'd like to do 3nodding
i'd sell some if you can, if you can make them affordable and make a profit go for it whee

You should set up as a seller on eBay and start there if you wanna really get into it. Then maybe get your own site and sell from there, and then a real-world store, and then a chain, and maybe you'll take over the world with your m4d 1337 j3w3113ry 5k|11Z. mad d
I'm serious, they're so beautiful I know loads of people who'd buy them. 3nodding

Thank you, everyone. smile I'm always skeptical about the quality of mine. I always think it's never as good as it could be.
It would be a nice career, wouldn't it? It's hard to make a profit out of handmade things if you take into consideration the time it takes to make them. My friend's mom knits, and she said if she sold her things at a decent hourly wage, no one would ever buy them. smile But if you can make a profit out of doing something you enjoy and would be doing anyway, so much the better! Maybe I will try ebay to see how much I could get for them.

if i could make things like that i'd be reluctant to go them away, i'd be too busy making stuff for myself ninja
but seeing as i love semi-precious stones, and simple silver jewellery, i'd be in heaven if i COULD make such items xp

Nyxyn Thank you, everyone. smile I'm always skeptical about the quality of mine. I always think it's never as good as it could be. I think everyone thinks that about their own work. I know I do, with pretty much everything I do. I really like the rings. (I think they're rings... it's hard to tell, there's no size comparison. n.n") The firstone, with the black stone, is probably my favorite one, and the necklace above it is my second favorite. What did you use for them?

Shanti~dragongirl ^-^ how did you start out? I just started with some stuff I'd gotten for scrapbooked and put em together, then I got some info and worked out how to do them properly ^-^ Some friends and I went to a class at a bead shop once, and I liked it so much, I bought my own supplies to make more! And then I got some books and started doing the wire work too. NI: Yes, they are rings. I didnt' consider the size comparison since I already know the size. hehe. I'll have to keep that in mind for future photos! I don't remember what the black one is. I think it was just a random bead. The one above it is made with tiger eye. Here's another photo of the fluorite ring. The color is off, but you can see the size. wink  And I found some other photos while looking for it!   That bag took forever to make. And then I broke it a few weeks later. sad

Oo, tiger's eye, that's one of my favorites. I thought it looked like it, but then I thought it looked like amber, but I don't think amber is all that common, at least not in it unworked form in the U.S. And it's also not transparent enough to be amber, either.
The bag's so pretty! How did you make it, exactly? Was there some sort of a design or framework for it?

There is a name for the stitching technique, but I can't for the life of me think of it right now. smile A friend of mine gave me another book specifically on the bags, which included lots of different patterns for pictures to weave onto them with different colored beads. They look really amazing! One of these days I really want to try making one of those. Like this for example, in case my description was lacking. smile
