Well I did it. I took the plunge. After many months of thinking about it, talking about it and weighing my options, I opened an internet store. It can be found at http://www.inspireddesign.etsy.com. I posted my first item on Friday to test the waters and it sold on Saturday morning. I was so excited, and in some ways not quite ready. I never expected anything to sell so quickly. I was still in the process of getting my paypal account all set up and taking care of other business type housekeeping. But my favorite bangle sold, and off it went in the mail Monday morning. I hope the buyer enjoys it, as well as the coordinating earrings I sent as a thank you gift for being my first online customer. This whole undertaking has been such a learning process. Sometimes it seems like actually making the jewelry is the easy part. I did however find some time to make a few pieces, so take a look. Yes it is more copper, which I just love working with so much! But I do promise that some sterling silver pieces will be coming soon.
This bangle and earrings are made from deep pink rhodonite drums, minty green China jade rondelles, copper beads and copper wire. They are very summery and sophisticated looking.
