Jewelry making

[Primrosewarrior]

Does anyone else on here make jewelry?

[MatthiasMan]

Never tries, but once in a while, I'll take some stuff from my school's art room and make a necklace out of the beads. Most of the stuff in the art room doesn't get used so it really makes me angry when people say I can't take stuff.

[Primrosewarrior]

I meant actual JM. Like, with crimp beads and pliers.

[MatthiasMan]

Never tried. Must be fun.

[MatthiasMan]

wow. I'm a boy and i can't believe i said that. 

[Primrosewarrior]

Why cant boys make jewelry?

[Something Horrifying]

Very yes! Actually have my eyes on a career in this field, and am planning on going through a college program for a certificate in jewelry design! I mostly do wirework, and have recently opened an Etsy shop with my best friend (she does chainmaille). Am I allowed to post a link?

[MatthiasMan]

Yeah.

That's cool! 0_o

deepseadelights.etsy.com That's our shop. It's only recently been opened, and there are only two items listed, but we'll be posting more soon. The pendant is mine.

Don't you think it is a little over priced?  I'm not telling you to change it but like is all jewelry cost up that high? Never been jewel shopping so.

I love the tuquise pendant! I'm gonna get an etsy account

[Something Horrifying]

MM: I don't really think so, I think our stuff is pretty reasonable, if not on the cheaper side. Remember you have to factor in costs of materials, plus labor, and this is all handmade.


PW: Thanks! And yeah, if you make jewelry, or just want to buy cool, unique, handmade stuff, etsy is definitely worth joining. So what kind of jewelry do you make? Do you have any pictures?

[Primrosewarrior]

Well, I dont have any pics. All my stuff is pretty bacic,(im 13 and I babysit for a living)And I like to use seed beads.

You guys must be good at jewelry.
