Well i've finally made a necklace for myself...It's approx 20 inches in length excluding the heart...The boys like it and it and the one i made for one of my closest friends for her birthday on mon is only ones they have willingly commented on LOL...Typical men eh!!! No sarky comments Stuart <g> I don't have a pic of my friends one yet because i redid what i showed on the last pic of a jewellery item...I've not given up on that particular design just i decided on sunday night the wire i used is really too thin...So i took it part and changed it on sunday evening quite late...Now it is same designISH but strung on beading thread instead and with a heart on it also...She loves it...So much so she was a bit overcome about it...Both her and her daughter told me a price they thought it would cost in a shop in town and i was a bit flattered and like 'you really think so naaaahhhh' Not going to say what that price was here though...See i think i need some lessons in pricing my wares...And to learn to NOT be embarassed at asking for X price and be more confident within myself that i can do it and can ask for X price and get it.
Anyways i ordered a pile of stuff on fri off ebay...I so loathe the auction thing...Before i used this ebay shop i used buy it now...But they had some stuff in auction same as buy it now and in some cases the items go for a lot cheaper...I got one item for £11 cheaper than the buy it not price :o) 500 4mm swarovski crystals in 20 different colours...I looked upon that as checking out samples of some of the myriad of colours they do...There's about 4 of the colours in that pack i really don't like much at all and won't be buying again...But i will use them and make one off unique items from them...2 of the colours i can't pronounce the name of so perhaps they won't be bought again either lol...Thing is i do really like them both...The butterflies i bought are rather teensy and don't look the size they were supposed to be but i'll keep them...Jeannette you don't like danglies too much but if you would like some small dangly butterflies in clear AB crystal then get in touch and you can have them with pleasure :o) They are actually ideal for earrings or for a bracelet but not so much good for necklaces...Anyways that is it for now...Am going into town see if someone will chop my hair back mega short cheaply so i can dye it purple again for sat...And yes i am going to the soiree for champagne on the lawn LOL.
