A new week, more designing

I'm very gratified by the increase in the number of posts about
what we are doing with our beads. Let's try to keep it up!! I love
hearing what everyone is doing.
Since this is the start of a new week, I owe rec.crafts.beads
another post. I was able to get a lot of designing done last week for
the jewelry party I'm doing this coming Friday. I also think that
knowing I would have to post what I've been doing encouraged me to get
off my butt and design.
Some of the things I've made a rose quartz and silver necklace
and bracelet, two amethyst and silver bracelets, and a set of
Lampwork, turquoise and grey FWP with silver. The lampwork beads I
used a striped turquoise with silver which I bought a long time ago
from Karen Kreider (desertdreameraz).
I admit to being a little nervous about this jewelry party, maybe
because I will only know one person who will be there. Maybe because
it's the first one I've ever done? I'm teaching them how to make
earrings and then showing and selling my other work. I'll let you
know how it goes.

Good luck on your jewelry party, Patti. Hope you sell lots and
lots!

Are you going to show any loose components for sale? I figure that some
women might like making the earrings so much, that they'll want to make more
after you have your class. Maybe you could also make up some simple
earring kits to sell? Good luck!

I've found just being yourself works like a charm. I'm sure you know
to show your love of your designs and be excited.....it's catching!

Thots of many sales.....many contacts...and sales from word of mouth
to you!
