Ok - can I raise the price of your necklace after the fact?? :)

Tooo late! *cackle*

I really love it, though, and I think you can sell for more... if selling is a direction you want to head in. You have an excellent eye for design. There are a few details to polish up, but overall I think your work is ready.

Cool! Thanks - and yes I am working my way to selling. Open to tips and suggestions.

Ok, I really only have two suggestions, and they're both very small details; one is to snip your wire end flush with the crimp (nail cutters are good for that) and the other is to invest in a good wire-wrapping video or book so you can get perfect loops on your earrings.

Mind you, I am completely happy with my set and I feel I got it for a great price! Your design skills and stringing technique are immaculate; the beads are tight, there's no slack, your materials are high-quality, and the dragonfly is a classy and whimsical touch. (Which my friend Sara is desperately jealous of; she loves butterflies!)

And I agree with both 100%. Thanks for the tip on the nail cutters- I wouldn't have thought of that! I even got some of the flush cutters, but can never seems to get it "flush" enough. I prefer to run the line back through a few beads - but some are too small for that.

And I need to practice my loops more. I'm using the technique I learned in class- but the results are not always consistent. And a video/book would also show more "looks" I think.

Thanks Kalera!

You're welcome... and thank you! I got MORE compliments on my necklace and earrings today!
