There's Always A First...

At least for me, there is. We, meaning my whole family, just did a swapmeet down in Black Forest. My father had his hand-etched mirrors, with hand-rubbed Oak frames that he made himself. My mother, my sister, and I sold jewelry sets that we had made. They are very beautiful sets, made from liquid silver and semi-precious stones, complete with a two-strand necklace, bracelet, and earrings. I also had some of my own jewelry pieces there, along with Sangeet and my Phoenix doll, who is getting beaded now. We actually did pretty good, for it being only a swapmeet and not a craft fair. Here is some of my jewelry:

This was sold to a most charming lady who was working the booth across from ours. She eventually came over and looked at the jewelry, and decided that Le Phantome was just the right piece for her. I very much agree =).

Why I do what I do with my jewelry pieces:

I believe that this type of jewelry making is a different sort of art form. Of course, it takes skill to make any kind of jewelry really well, but this is the perfect medium for me. I am very good at beading, but I also like to explore new ideas and this seems perfect. Eahc piece is unique and individual. Most will not be available for reproduction, so that if you buy one of a style, that is the only one. But despite this fact, each necklace is rather reasonably priced (art is no good if others cannot afford it. If it sits in your house all day and is never sold, than what have you inspired? Nothing, that's what.) The Guardian, African Princess, and The Philosopher are larger pieces, around two to three inches in length. That means that they cost $30 plus whatever sales tax and shipping (if bought online) would be. Others, like the Shell Maiden and Le Phantome, are only $20 (add tax and shipping). Pins range from $15 to $18, depending on how many shimmer powders are used (those are not cheap). Overall, my main reason is to add some beauty to the world at affordable prices =).
