"Gallery 21" sales results

Thanks for the plug! Show sales are funny sometimes. I always sell whatever I discounted and was surprised when I sold the expensive stuff, LOL

Kaytee -- saw the necklace, and some great other things. LOVED Alexander's Great Garden!

How is Ruby Lane doing for you?

I've been on 14 months-- costs of being there have been something like 165% of gross SALES through them. Will be leaving at the end of this month. Kaytee "Simplexities" on

Well now that is a bummer. And how is Eclectic beadery doing for you?

I love your ocean cornucopia necklace! I have some of those shell slices and have been wondering how to incorporate them in a design. (Not that I would exactly copy yours of course!) Looking at the pic I couldn't tell exactly how you got the fringe through the shell so that the shell didn't slip off - or does it?

) Looking at the pic I couldn't tell exactly

This is a half shell ("greenshell"), actually, not just a slice. The fringe/tassel slips a bit, but pretty much holds the shell in place because of it's thickness-- I put some larger beads in the fringe, and did a few branched fringes just below where it comes through the crosspiece of shell. These shells were being sold as scarf slides.

Considering that I've hardly done anything with my shop, other than pay a very low fee (my share of the hosting costs), it's doing pretty well-- about the same amount of sales as on Ruby Lane. A small profit, even. Kaytee "Simplexities" on

I have always found it amazing that people sell anything from a website, at all. The chances of finding someone's website, without extensive advertising, is just astronomical. Always glad to hear you all are doing well there. You always seem to do well there (collectively). Someone was always reporting sales, and that is a good thing.

Kaytee -- I also loved the schermo heart with all those lovely blue flowers, and of course your donut pendants!

Branch fringe! Of course, you just can't see it in the pic. I don't know why your things aren't selling - it sure isn't due to lack of beauty and design!

I don't know either.... The "wooly worm" style bracelets sell well in person-- probably a combination of "oooh, fun!" factor + not too terribly expensive of an "impulse" purchase. The RL "shop" gets a reasonable amount of "visitors", and the page view stats show they are looking at items, and not just glacing at the "home page", but purchases are few and far between. Other artisans are complaining about the same thing. Kaytee "Simplexities" on

This isn't the really feathery sort-- just an extra strand at the point where a "fringe" passes through the cross piece, and not all of the "fringies" got one. The "idea" behind it was to look like water flowing and/or pouring out of a cornocopia.... Kaytee "Simplexities" on
