Poll: About Xmas colored jewelry

[bluemaxx]

How many people in here have actually sold jewelry made out of red & green
Christmas-colored or sculptural lampwork? I have had an abysmal time of
it! I've made earrings, bracelets and necklaces to sell at galleries and
craft fairs... and NONE have sold...except one sale for a Xmas lightbulb
bracelet made of fuscia glitter polymer clay.

Why do you think Christmas (sculptural or not) colored lampwork sells so
well to buyers? When by my experience, no one buys the finished jewelry??
What do you guys think?
love,
Linda

I think it may be that red/green is totally associated with Christmas
and those colors are not usually worn at other times during the year.
Many women are looking for colors they can wear all the time, not just
during one season. Of course, that doesn't explain the popularity of
Christmas lampwork.
I have several pieces of clothing with Christmas themes due to doing
a lot of Christmas craft fairs. I went to visit my Mother in Law a few
days before Christmas and she asked me why I bought the Christmas denim
shirt I was wearing since she thought it was wasteful to buy something
you could wear only one day during the year. I've noticed that
clothing manufacturers are emphasizing snowmen, skaters, and winter
themes as well as the Santa and angel figures since they can be worn
before and after Christmas.
I personally am sick of red/green and prefer blue or purple with
silver for wrapping papers, and have noticed a gradual shift away from
red/green towards other colors in decorations as well.

I think people do buy red&green jewelry at Christmastime. Last year I sold
several pairs of one of a kind red and green gemstone earrings. (Dang! WHy
didn't I make any this year? Is it too late?) Today a woman came into the
gallery where I was helping out wearing what I am certain were red, white
and green polymer clay candycane earrings with big red polymer clay bows.
