Carol is a sneaky one isn't she! Here's the link:

Mavis beads are in the two last bracelets on the page. Hope you likethem. (This link won't be good for long -- I'm about to do some remodelingon my website -- but the pictures will be there *somewhere*, so if that linkdoesn't work just start with the one in my sig....) Thanks! ang. ____________________________ angelfish handcrafted baubles Okay -- I thought she hadn't posted the link yet---?>

Hi Tina,

Mavis does sell small beads at ~$2.50 to $6.00 each. Angela could have purchased those.

Hi Sooz :o)

I think it's easy to forget that some of the more famous beadmakers sell small beads too. Especially when we've been wowed by some of their larger works.

Oh, lovely, ang! I adore Mavis's itty bitty beads. The bracelets are sweet and luscious.

Thank you! I'm happy with how they turned out. I sent the link to my mom this morning and she wrote me back that she wants to buy both of the bracelets with the Mavis beads to give as gifts. So I'm walking around tonight all proud of myself and told my husband I'm a *professional* artist. He goes, "Because you sold a couple bracelets to your MOM?" LOL. But she's giving one of them to the daughter of a friend who just happens to own a jewelry store, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it might be a very cool thing. The other one she's giving to an extremely wealthy woman and hey! if she ends up wanting more I'm happy to crank my prices up to meet her standards! :-)

(I'm buying some Kandice beeds next though! I swear I am!)

Thanks! (I'm totally into that teal/blue/green thing these days.)

Sounds like a great start!

All the more reason for me to watch you. My all time favorite color group.

Tina

They're really nice, Angie :) Mavis' beads are wonderful and you've done some great things with them. You have a good eye for feminine stuff :)

Laura

You are a professional artist no matter who you've sold to. :) Be proud!

Hmmm - that's good to know!

Nothing to be embarrassed about, IMO. Everyone is at a different stage of knowledge and development, everyone enters the information stream at a different place -- and if someone asks a question out loud that has come up before, there are probably others who are silently wondering without asking. Raising a question that comes up a lot works to point not only you, but others toward the relevant info.

That's a service, not an imposition, the way I see it.

And you never know. Someone here might buy something that is of a different -kind- from what we ourselves make.

You are right in thinking that lots of us look at finished jewelry and start figuring out how something similar ourselves, but there are weavers who don't string, stringers who don't weave. People who create polyclay stuff who like wirework, etc.

Why not just put Ad: in your subject for the sake of following protocol for stuff available for purchase, and then see what happens?

Yep. I buy everything Becki makes that I can get my hands on!!

Oddly enough, I kind of like the sound of that! :-)> Kandice Seeber wrote ...> Hmmm - that's good to know!
