I see there's not a lotta ACTION here. The action's GOOD (look what Kalera's doing about SRA on eBay, for instance), but it's so SLOOOOOOOW. So let's get to know each other better, or get reacquainted (for the veterans here). Even if it's "dumb" (NO questions are dumb!), ask a question, and...

What's the longest it's ever taken a Priority Mail package to get to you? I know they don't guarantee a certain amount of time, but isn't a week+ rather excessive? Tink Check here for available work: http://blackswampglassworks.com/latest.htm

Hello cool ppl; Can you please answer a few questions for me? I'm currently making beads for a local artist, as a favor. Is there a market for sunstone, moonstone, smokey, clear, milky and rose quartz beads? How cheaply must i make them to compete with china? I'm thinking i must make about 10,000...

:) I had a fun torch session today - scrolling! I took Sooz's (and others) suggestion and ran with it. It was hard at first sticking with one basic design for the whole day, but I added variation by doing some spacers and making some of the scrolled beads into cubes. And I did a little...

Hi, I'm new to this list but not to beading. I have making beaded jewelry for almost 20 years. Not so much lately, but I want to get back into it, which is why I am here. I started making jewelry as a teenager, and whole still in high school I started selling in shops, flea-markets, and privately...

Helloooooooooo! You all can blame Tink for me being here, crashing your party, so to speak. ;) I followed a link here to satisfy my curiosity about her "protest auctions" because I am the nosiest person to ever draw breath. GO TINK! So, just wanted to say hi. Gonna be brave here and try to post...

I'm so sorry for whatever it was, Starlia. And if you sold your torch, it would be a tragedy.

Hey! It looks like all my work on the writing and distribution of the press release about my public art project is paying off! A local paper has decided that I'm "What's Hot"... At least in their Feb. 5th issue. LOL! I'm doing my best to NOT have any pictures of me in the feature, and I'm insisting...

I finally did it! I drilled some holes in the Paua Shells and listed them on Ebay! I am going to tell the story in a later post. Right now... I need a nap. :) http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=harryb41&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 Thank you. Harry

On another NG I read, this is a regular subject line. It's interesting, and it provides a way for newbies to join in if they don't feel comfortable with the regular subjects yet (some are shy about jumping in, perhaps especially true about nascent beaders ). So.....maybe we could keep it around...

Is it just me, or are things slowing down? Has anyone else noticed their sales slowing ... or stopping? I was looking at the different Yahoo groups for beading... and the posts in the groups have been dwindling, especially this month. What's up? Has the beading craze peaked and on the downslide?...

I don't make goddesses with twins very often because they are such a pain and I'm never quite happy with therm, but here's one I'm relatively pleased with: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/twins1.jpg They take twice as much time and glass, and by the time I'm done, I feel like I'm the one in labor!

We just had a call from the nice man (Richard) at Living Light Studio where we've ordered our kiln, and it's on its way to us (well, him...) and will arrive tomorrow! We're (well, he is... ) very excited as he's been waiting to do more work till he could be sure to be able to anneal his...

Speaking of copying....this is so blatent, but I don't think there is anything she can do about it. It makes me sick. Here is my girl Janis's work (godessofcraft on ebay), which you have seen many times because I post it...

Hi guys! I've got some super clearance items (some new, some relists) - and where are all the bidders? They end tomorrow - there are some good deals here! http://www.beadgirl.com/ebaylink.htm Thanks! Diane

I can't find a new message on the old thread (to make sure I am on the right one) so I am just going to say this here. I don't think you are wrong about anything. IN fact, I am sure you are right. I don't have a clue what you are talking about but you sound like you know what you are talking...
