Jewelry ...

[benni]

I am starting to make jewelry from my paint pours. These are all one of kind pieces. I'm planning on selling the necklaces for $20 per necklace, earrings for $12, a pair of earrings and necklace will be $30 and 2 pairs of earrings (dangly and post) and a necklace will be $40. Can you all let me know whether you think there will be a market for this? I don't have any earrings yet, but will be getting the items on Monday and will start making them then. If you think there is a market, I'll open a FB store.

Without holding one, it's hard for me to say with total confidence. From looking at the photos, they look interesting and like they'd be fun to wear. What are the paint pours composed of?

They are acrylic paints. I am using cabochons to cover them and use diamond glaze to set them into the necklace tray. I've also been doing paints and coasters:

oh , yeah. I remember some of those from when you posted them before. I like the paintings (paints?) most. The jewelry is nice, too.

They're lovely. Do you have a local craft fair, or a shop that sells for local craftspeople that you could take them too as well? Etsy seems to be the best online store for homemade crafts.

No, no craft fair. I've actually sold quite a few of my paintings to people I work with. I have a friend that has a shoe booth at a local flea market and she would be willing to let me sell them there. She's there every weekend. I'll be setting up online somewhere. Another lady that does the acrylic paintings left Etsy for some reason, said that it was just not lucrative for her there (I don't know if they take a % or what they do). So, I don't know if I'll do Etsy or not, we'll see later after I get more made and find out whether there is a market for them.

New jewelry I did over the weekend.

How is this going for you? I see things that I want to make too all the time but I don't know how to sell them.
