Wow, another gorgeous bracelet! Thy, I am going to list some spectacular beads. I hope you win a lot of them because I want to see what you make with them! Do you sell on Etsy or anywhere else?
I found more hematite beads. mostly small tubes but the container had a few larger ones as well. I'll list those next weekend (I won't be listing all of the beads I have, I don't think there's enough credits on all of LIstia to bid on them. I've gotta space them out a little!).
Thy, I've got all the photos I've taken so far on photobucket, you can see them at http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg146/natahoa/beads/?acti on=organize. I have more photos to take, I'm going to put a lot more findings on auction as well (earring findings, mostly). They are actually for sale, and whatever is left is what will go on Listia. Most of them I bought on ebay, years ago. I try not to buy too many more these days, but I'm clearing out space for any that catch my eye!
I don't have those on photobucket. I think I have two on Etsy, but haven't posted any more of them. Etsy takes a while to work with. I've been spending so much time on Listia I haven't done much else! Taking photos of all those itty bitty beads takes hours! And I have quite a few more to go ...
I've been beading about 10 years, I guess. Can't remember exactly. It takes me FOREVER to make one thing, because I make it, don't like it, take it apart and remake it, yadda yadda yadda ...
It's a labor of love, but also a creative outlet. Do you sell your items on consignment or anywhere on the internet? I need to get more things on Etsy, but am just buried with Listia. Yesterday I got out a bag of old foreign coins I think I will list, they get a lot of action on Listia and I can probably ship them for one stamp.
